Gene I just wanted to let you know how sorry I am to hear of the loss of you son. I deliver the mail once a week & he would be there waiting for the mail when you were away. He always wanted to take care of you. I would see him in the KFC/Taco Bell & he would always say hi to me. I just lost my husband of 26 years so I truly understand. Well I will watch out for you once a week when I deliver the mail. GOD BLESS!! you & your family. Time will heal. Its helping me. Just take it one step/day at a time.

To The Family of Mr. Michael Gene Newman
Quisiera expresarles a todos ustedes mi más sentido pésame. Aunque no nos conozcamos, todos sabemos lo que es sentir el dolor que se siente cuando nuestros seres queridos fallecen.
Nuestro Padre Celestial siente el dolor que estás padeciendo. Cuando creó al primer hombre y a la primera mujer, su propósito era que ellos y sus descendientes —incluidos nosotros— viviéramos para siempre sin sufrir las consecuencias de la enfermedad ni de la muerte.
Su propósito no ha cambiado, pues promete que pronto llegará el día en que nos enjugará para siempre las lágrimas de dolor de los ojos y la muerte ya no existirá.
También promete que tus seres queridos, los míos y muchos otros oirán su voz y saldrán de las tumbas conmemorativas.
