Dear Katie, Gene and Michelle,
Everywhere I go, I run into people who knew Geno. They all say such good things about him. I know nothing I say can ease your pain, but I can tell you that the advice my mother gave me helped a lot. She told me not to keep my child and my pain inside. Talk about him every day, to everyone you know and everyone you meet, and he will NEVER be forgotten. The pain will never go away. But it will change, and become bearable in time.
GOD SAW HE WAS GETTING TIRED AND THE CURE WAS NOT TO BE.SO HE PUT HIS ARMS AROUND HIM AND WHISPERED "GENO, COME WITH ME".WITH TEARFUL HEARTS YOU WATCHED HIM FADE AWAY. ALTHO YOU LOVED HIM DEARLY,YOU COULD NOT MAKE HIM STAY.A GOLDEN HEART STOPPED BEATING, A BRILLIANT MIND TO REST.GOD BROKE OUR HEARTS TO PROVE TO US, HE ONLY TAKES THE BEST.
I am walking in your sorrow with you.

Gene and Katy,

Knowing how much Geno meant to you both, it must be very hard to imagine life without him. God obviously had a very special plan for him to take him so soon. When you start feeling sad just remember the good times that you had with him and know that he is looking down on you and smiling, knowing that he has brought that good thought into your life. He may not be with you in life, but he will always be with you in spirit.
