Dear Janie & Family,
I was sorry to learn of your recent loss. Gene had fought the good fight. He had walked with You, Lord, & on Sunday You invited him to come home with you to see what You had prepared for him. What a glorious homecoming for him to meet You, Lord face to face & walk the streets of gold. I ask that the Lord continue to watch over each of you in the days ahead that you may have peace & comfort as He carries you through the days ahead.
Love to each of you
Pattie

Uncle Gene's picture captures perfectly the jovial spirit he shared with others. He was thankful for the blessings of 64 years with his beautiful wife, Janie, his three wonderful children and their families and his loving"church family". Service to his heavenly Father, family and friends fulfilled his daily life. I cherish the memories of spending summers with the Olivers and many Fuller Family Reunions at their "Camp". I am comforted by the feeling that Uncle Gene is resting in the arms of his Lord and Savior---and still smiling down on us!

Dear Janie, Kenneth, David & Karen,
Sorry we can't be there with you to celebrate Uncle Gene's life tomorrow. Please know ya'll and Uncle Gene will be in our thoughts and prayers. The picture is great and that's how I choose to remember Uncle Gene - always smiling, laughing and cutting up. Also all the good times we used to have at the "camp". We will all miss him. Take care. All our love to ya'll.
