Dear Carol, Kenny, Jason, Sandra and family,

My heart hurts and yet I find Peace in knowing Gene is with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

I know this may not help our feelings of loss nor will it help as we pick up the phone to call him. I do pray the very thought of seeing Gene, when it is our time to enter the gate of Heaven, is one we can hold on to as a promise from our Lord.

On October 28, 2020, on my way home from Aunt Ruby Nell’s, God laid Gene on my heart. I called him and I am thankful I did. We spoke about their home on Lincoln Ave being torn down! I remember telling him, “Gene, they can tear down our old home places, they can not destroy our memories!” He snickered and told me our memories would be forever!

We spoke of so many things from family gatherings, gatherings at our Church and picnics! He and I both talked said that as we were speaking about these things we could see them vividly in our minds and hearts!

Folks that is family. I have always considered all of you as family, Mr. Mac and my daddy were like brothers, just like James A and daddy! Mrs McEwen and Juanita were more like aunts than cousins and boy were they great cooks!

My memories of many moments with them and with you will fill my heart for a lifetime!

I pray for your memories of special moments will help you all through the days to come, as you celebrate Gene’s life. May Jesus send forth His Peace that passes all understanding and His Comfort to each of you! In Jesus Name amen

I love all of you,

Love

Pete Perry
