Monticello, AR Saturday, January 1, 2011 Judy, Cherri and John,I did not know about Gene....I am so sorry. I got to thinking after I read his obituary....we had some really good times at the old feed store. The good ole days!!!!
And I was double blessed to get to keep my horse at your place for a good while...riding with Cherri and enjoying your whole family. Eugene was one of a kind...but you know that already! I know after you all moved to Longview I didn't see as much of you as I once did, but your friendship was always dear to me. I regret that I didn't know about Gene's death...I would certainly have come to see you all. My prayers are with all of you, and hopefully our paths will cross in the near future. Patty
