Our Sincere Condolences

To Joyce and the Jennings family—
So sorry to hear about Gene’s passing. Even though I didn’t know Gene, I felt I knew him through the many great stories Joyce told us at work. He must have loved all the critters as much as Joyce did. And I know from the stories, he loved his boys. I think he also secretly enjoyed (?) trips to Walmart. Anyway, I hope your memories of Gene help lift you at this time. Joyce, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
“Patsy”
