Gene was a kind hearted, selfless brother. I remember how he devoted himself with a commitment to construct a new home for our mother and me. In looking back now, I am amazed with feelings of gratitude that he sacrificed his time, with countless hours and a great deal of talent, to be able to complete this tremendous task to provide a nice home for mother to enjoy, and for me to be blessed with while growing up in my teen years. He truly was a brother that I am grateful to have spent time with and will always remember how close we became while he was giving a part of himself that only a person with a big heart and a great deal of love was able to offer.
May you rest in peace, with the light of the angels around you, is my prayer for you, dear brother........your baby sister, Amanda Frances Gooch.
