Gone But Not Forgotten
Don’t think of him as gone away
His journey’s just begun,
Life holds so many facets
This earth is only one.
Just think of him as resting
From the sorrows and the tears
In a place of warmth and comfort
Where there are no days and years.
Think how he must be wishing
That we could know today
How nothing but our sadness
Can really pass away.
And think of him as living
In the hearts of those he touched
For nothing loved is ever lost
And he was loved so much.
I Love you Mr. Eugene

My most sincere heartfelt sympathies go out to you all. Mr. Eugene always welcomed me at his home whenever I came to visit. I never knew him to be anything other than Mr. Eugene. Always kind, respectful, friendly. I can remember him telling some of his coon hunting stories. Him and Dad going to auctions together. They always had a good time.
Much love and prayers for comfort,
Jackie Sanders
