To the family and friends of Eugene LaJeunesse, I would like to express my deepest and heartfelt condolences. I am truly sorry for the lost that your family is feeling. Experiencing the lost of a beloved family member is one of the hardest thing that any of us can go thru. And because of that my thought and prayers are with your family. During this extremely difficult time, please turn to God for comfort and support. He promise to give your family the strength needed in order to endure this great lost. (2 Corinthians 1:3,4) Something else that can bring your family comfort is cherishing the wonderful memories of Mr. Eugene. These precious memories will console the family in the day’s ahead.

To Marty and all of Gene’s family. I felt a great sadness to find that Gene had passed. We worked together for a long time and I considered him a friend. I pray that God’s peace that passes all understanding will be with you all.
