So sad for me to lose my little sister of this extended family. We were raised in the same culture, experienced much respect for the same people and for each other. I really enjoyed the long-distance telephone birthday conversations. Will also miss the in-house visits with Lessie and Louise. You are now in a better place with no more pain

RIP Gene
