Was so very sorry to hear about Eugene. Please know others are thinking of you at this time. He always would be one to come up and visit with everyone.
So sorry for your loss, I wish I could be there but we are out of town. So many good memories, of Pudge and your whole family, lots of things we did together when we were younger! I can not believe he is gone, I know we have grown apart but it seems like yesterday he was telling nose jokes while I was in labor with Kyle! We are to young to be loosing friends, we are still kids aren’t we? Prayers and hugs to you all Barb Cockerill
