Jan, We want to express our deepest sympathy to you and the rest of the family during this time of sadness.

We love you…..Kim, Kent, Hollie, and Uncle Jim.

We want to extend our sympathy to our neighbors the Goss family on the loss of Gene. Heaven holds a special place for those that take care of their family members as Gene did taking care of his parents. Jan, you have been a wonderful sister to Gene to be there with him these last few years. Gene seemed to be a quiet man but always had a friendly wave as he went by. I had not seen him out and about for a long time until several months ago when I was on our front lawn. Gene was out driving and he pulled up and asked me if I had seen the neighborhood turkey lately that roamed Lincoln Street. I had to give him the bad news that it had been run over months earlier. He was sure disappointed. That will be my last memory of Gene. Times like this are sure bittersweet. It is sad to know that Gene is gone but comforting to know that on Easter Sunday he was called home to end his suffering and enjoy eternal rest.
To the family of Gene Goss, so sorry to hear of your loss.
