I just got word that Gene's wife, Norma has passed away.
I'm sorry to hear this news.
Here are a couple of emails from Wayne and Gene!
I've been thinking about you and Norma. I didn't know when to get back to you Gene, but I was thinking about when you and Norma would go down to the boat slip to eat carp burgers, I think I will never forget that. And I want to eat one some day. God bless you and your family Gene. There are lots of us out here that are thinking of you guys and how much you mean to the boat racing community.
Wayne
Thank you Wayne, your timing was perfect!
My Kids and my extended family (that includes boat racers) have been very supportive.
My sister-in-law, Edna Kennedy has been staying with me since Norma passed away. She has been a widow for 6 years, so she knew the pain I was feeling. She went back home to Des Moines yesterday.
Last night was the first night I was alone in the house.
At 4:15 this morning, Norma awakened me by softly calling my name. I DID NOT IMAGINE THIS. I DID NOT DREAM THIS. SHE WAS HERE!
I haven't stopped trembling or crying since.
I know she's waiting for me at Lake Paradise.
What a wonderful reunion those of us who love our Lord have in store!
P.S. Please forward this to Ron Hill. I've lost his address
