Dear David, Gina, Scott, and all of the Grand Children, Great Grand Children, and Great Grand Children,
Please Accept our heartfelt condolences on the loss of your special loved one. We, like you, have many mixed emotions today. While we are heartbroken that he is gone, we know exactly where he is today...safe in the saving arms of Jesus, his Redeemer! And, we are confident that he is communing with his Beloved Bernice, the love of his earthly life. May God give all of you comfort and strength in the days, months, and years ahead.
My family and I will miss him dearly. When we think of my brother, Gene, we are reminded of Matthew 25:23 "Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!"
Gene was a wonderful Man of God, and faithful to his Lord. We are sad and grieving today, but celebrating that he is "finally home" with Jesus whom he served for so long. Enter now into the joys of Heaven, Gene.
With deep love and admiration of your life well-lived.
Larry, Pam, and Zach Bohannon (Brother, Sister-in-Law, and Nephew)
