Gene you will be greatly missed and that hour and 1/2 that I spent with you at the hospital I will always cherish that with you. I will always have the utmost respect for you because you gave your oxygen to try to save your wife. A selfless act of kindness. I don’t know of anyone else that would do that but you did. I love and miss you so much.

Your mean sister in law.

Lexi misses you too but she’s way nicer than me.
