Our sincere sympathy to Gene's family. He was one of the nicest people, always with a smile and a joke. We looked forward to seeing Gene & Linda at Outback. May he rest in peace.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I too have lost many loved ones in death. I have found much comfort in the bibles promise of a future where I'll see them again. (Acts 24:15; John 5:28, 29; Revelation 21:3, 4) You will be in my prayers.
Dear Linda, Michael, Jennifer, CJ,
Please accept my most sincere sympathy and condolences to you all on the loss of your beloved husband and dad, Gene. I am so glad I had a chance to see you both last August. I can hear Gene right now, telling a joke!!! He certainly was one of a kind. May he rest in peace. Love and hugs to you all, Katie, Sylvia and Elizabeth Pope
Linda and family. I am so sorry for your loss. Our "Pollack" will be missed. As much as I teased him everytime I saw him…I loved him just as much. I am sorry that I did not know or I would have been at the services. Keep his memory alive and he will be with you forever. You will all be in my prayers. Linda stop in and visit us.
I am truly sorry for your loss. Although I did not know your loved one personally, my heart goes out to you during this very difficult time. In times like this I have found comfort in God's promises recorded at Revelation 21:4 & John 5:28,29, where it is promised that the sting of sickness & death will be done away with but that our loved one is safe in God's memory and we will be able to be reunited with them again. These promises may seem unrealistic because of what we experience now, but I hope that knowing our loving Heavenly Father longs to do these things (Job 14:14,15) can bring you some comfort until these promises are fulfilled.
