Gene and I shared two special bonds. One was our Birthday, December 20th. The second was the special love and friendship we have with Charlotte. We recently started sharing a connection with Donna Summers.Charlotte, I read a phrase and it is so true. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal. Love leaves a memory no one can steal.My prayers continue for the family. Much love and lightDelaina Gaspard

Eugene and I went to elementary school together. He was the first boy to ever kiss me. I thought Eugene was a very sweet boy. He and I would walk home from school together as well. I am so sorry for the families loss Just thought of him a couple of months ago, and thought I should call him up and say Hi So sorry i didnt. May God bless his family

I felt like I only had half a heart left since Mama Daddy died and now you have taken half of that. You were not only my Brother but you were my friend. We laughed together, got mad together, cried together, called each other all the time just to touch base, loved each other and you have been with me all my life. Our last trip to Missouri for Christmas is something I will always cherish. Its going to be so hard to go on without you but I know you loved Jesus and it gives me some comfort to know that you finally got to meet him. I know you were looking so forward to that. I will love and keep you in this last part of my heart.Love your sister
