Please keep Jeannie and her family in your prayers.  Gene passed away this morning with his family family by his side.  I would also ask that you keep me in your prayers as I prepare to do Gene's funeral service.

Been wondering how things were doing... Sad.

May God's peace that passess all understanding settle on you all and keep his family in His Loving embrace.

Keep the Son in your eyes!

Prayers for the family sent from Georgia.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside thoroughly used up, totally worn out, with bible in hand and loudly proclaim...WOW...What a Ride!!!

greg, i prayed GOD would give them comfort in this time, for them to find peace in believing he is with our lord. i'll be praying for you greg, that GOD will hide you behind the cross, give you the strength and words that will speak through you to the family and friends, that they will look at there lives, know that there is a loving and gracious GOD, that death here on earth will come, but there is hope of eternal life through our lord and savior jesus christ, and there need to seek him. i know this is gonna be hard for you greg, i felt GOD leading me to speak at my mom and dads funeral, to plead with my friends and family to give there lives to christ, that this may be there last chance. i couldn't hold back the tears, if it wasn't for GOD i couldn't have done it, i knew i had to, it would be a time some hadn't been in a church for years. sounds like you may be a preacher or pastor if you were asked to do genes funeral, i lift you up, the family asked you because they love and respect you knowing you are one with GOD, and a friend they trust and can lean on. i pray that your words will touch someones heart and another child will be brought into his fold. GOD bless you brother for your willingness and obedience to do his will.

prayers for Gene's family and friends going up!

I didn't know Gene personally, but I know of atleast one person who thought enough of him to have me do this plaque!
