My heart is aching with the loss of our “other brother’. Eugene was so giving in so many ways to the Cajka family. Our sincerest sympathy to Kareen, Dave and Patti, Tom and Roxanne and families….
“God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered “Come to Me.”
