Hey, how is everything going with you? well, i've been having a rough couple of weeks. I really wish you were here to help me out. I mean, i feel really bad about how things are going for me right now. I have a job, i'm going back to school. But that just doesn't seem like it's good enough you know? All i've been thinking about lately is you. i can't stop remembering the old days of when we used to go out and have fun. I miss all the joking around and your laugh. I just wish you were here with me again. I just miss you so so much lately. it's hard to keep you off of my mind. and i live next door from your old apartment and every time i pass by there i look up at your window just to see if you would be standing there. it's so hard to live here in grand forks without you here. i know it'll get better, but can you help me out? please? well, i better get going. miss and love you lots.

Well, I just came from the cemetary. I was riding 4-wheeler and just thought i'd stop by and say a little prayer. You know, i miss you so much everyday. I've been feeling a little bad lately because I really need your help on some things. For starters, sheena & I are going to get married next year and we're moving to grand forks this month. we just don't know how we're going to do it. we really need your guidance on this one. When i pulled into the cemetary i just broke down in tears because i know i haven't been going down there much and i miss you so so much. i just wish that you can be here with me again. it's hard without you here telling me what to do. i just need your help so bad right now. i try not to cry whenever we all go down there to clean up because i want to show the family that i am strong. but the thing is, i don't know if i can be that strong anymore. it's getting harder and harder everyday for me. i'm trying my best everyday and it seems like it's not getting me anywhere anymore. i really want to get away from here and start a whole new life. i am going back to school in june and i'm going to be working full time, but it still doesn't seem like i'm doing enough with my life. i proposed to sheena on friday and she said yes. that was one of the happiest days of my life. and i really want to go through with this because i really really do love her and her son kire. they mean so much to me. i think i'm making the right decision because she's so good to me. i mean there are times we have our disagreements but we get through them. that's life though. i mean, it's full of upsets, disappointment and all of that. But, i wan to try and make the best of things now. i really do. it's just so hard to do without you being around to tell me how to do some things. but i better get going. i will talk to you later. i miss and love you so much.
I'm so very sorry / Amy Waldron (Passerby)
for the loss of Baby Gene. My brother-in-law was lost in a car accident on September 26, 2003. He was only 31 years old. Just wanted you to know that my heart breaks for your loss. I pray that God has and will continue to comfort you and all of Gene's loved ones. Much love to all of you. Close
The Dreams seem so real / Kyla (Sister)
About 3 weeks ago I had another dream about you. This one seemed so so real. I wish it was. But I know,...its not. I have only had about 5 at the most dreams about you since you been gone and this one was so different. Anyway, I dreamt that you were here still. Well the thing was, was that, you had died, but you were here. And we were all in shock because you came back. And in the dream you didnt really die, you came back from somewhere (I dont know) you were just gone. And I we were all so excited to see you. And I was like I knew it, I knew you were still here, I knew you didnt die. It was So real. I wish that was the ONE dream that would come true. I would NEVER EVER in my life ask for anything else. EVER!! But I know that its not possible. I just cant wait to see you for real again. To talk to you. I think about you every day. There is not one day that goes by that I dont think about you. Now, its almost that time of year again, and I can imagine what everyone is feeling. The day is so sad for us. I always try to hide my feelings though, especially in front of the kids. Or anyone for that matter. But I will talk to you later again....Miss you and Love you lots!!! Close
Hey there how ya doing? Just thought that I should write because it's been so long. How's Taylor doing? You know the day that happened, I think it brought it all back for mom and dad. Because they knew what Carl and Judy were going through. Carl talked to dad for a long time and he asked him if it gets better or if time heals and dad said that he couldn't lie so he told Carl that it does not get better and time doesn't heal. Dad also said that so much people lied to him about that and he coulnd't lie. But all the holidays are coming up and the hardest one of all for us...Thanksgiving. We all told mom that we don't even have to have it. But she said that you wouldn't want it that way. So we all agreed. But I suppose I better get back to work. I will write again later. Love you and miss you alot!!!!
Happy Birthday..and stuff / Kyla (Sister)
Hey, How was the 32nd, birthday? I'm sure you had a great time celebrating. And I'm sure you were there yesterday for dads birthday, it was fun. Sorry I didn't get a chance to go and see you on your birthday. But I did make it to your mass, I was late but me and the baby made there at least..haha.
But I hope you had a wnderful Birthday, and I miss you everyday and I love you. I can't wait to see you again!
Holidays.../ Crystal Poitra (Sister)
Hey there. Just wanted to wish you a Happy Easter. The holidays for us is hard. Especially for mom. I think thats why she gets angry at times. She just dont wanna show how lonesome she is for you. Holidays hits us the most because we know how much you loved them because they were for the kids. And of course you joined in with them. The knowing you are gone still really didnt hit me that hard. One day it will come to me. And Ryanne always says that Baby Gene lives in the clouds. And you know she is right. She askes her dad if she can go live with you...and you know sometimes you just dont know what to say. I miss you more and more everyday. But it is time to go now so I will go visit you later on today. All winter long knowing that we can't go down and visit you is hard too. Now the snow is gone but still cold...that dont stop us from going there.
I MISS YOU SO SO MUCH!!! / Kyla (SISTER)
Hey Baby Gene. Im just sitting here in the bedroom thinking about you. I miss you so so much! I just cant believe that your gone. I was looking at the slideshow on here crying cuz I cant get over how much I miss you. People say that it gets easier, but I still havent reached that part yet. To me, its feels like it gets harder. Just knowing that we arent going to see you again, it breaks my heart into a million pieces. I wish you were here to see Cadyn. I mean I know you see her and watch over her everyday, but I just wish you were here to hold her! We always tell stories about you, all the crazy things that you did. There are so many memories that we have to share about you, but I wish we could have made more. I hope you know that there is not a day that goes by that I dont think about you. I LOVE YOU AND I HOPE YOU KNOW THAT!!!!
See you in Heaven Brother!!! Love you lots, Kyla Close

Hi/ Dawn Poitra (Old friend )
Hi Baby Gene. Just wanted to drop by and say hey. I thought of you today so you must have come down and said hello. I was just thinking about when you and Charlie and me would go cruising. Those were the days, huh? I know my lil bro misses you a lot. God bless you and keep your family close to you. Close
YOU ARE MY UP WHEN I AM DOWN.... / Kyla (Sister)Read >>
YOU ARE MY UP WHEN I AM DOWN.... / Kyla (Sister)
Hey there. How you been? I guess you been pretty good huh considering you are in a way better place than us. As you probably already know, I been ok i guess. Alot of things going on in my life right now though. Its getting pretty stressful for me too. I think about you daily. I see your face everyday. Its like I can actually see you sometimes in other people, but then I come to reality and know that its not really you, and that I must really really miss you that day or I was thinking about you alot that day. Then it really makes me sad, because then thats when I know that I will not beable to see you again in this lifetime. And that it will be a whole new life time that I get to see you again. People ask me alot, why do you so this stuff to yourself? And All I can say is what stuff? A couple months ago, Chad asked me why I got a tattoo of your name on my arm and why I was thinking about getting your picture tattooed on the other. I asked him why, what was wrong with that? You know what he told me? He said, "because you know that everytime you look at that, or you see it, that its going to make you cry or think about him." HAHA I was like OK, let me..let you in on a little secret I told him, Theres not a day that goes by that I don't think about my brother and what happened to him. You dont know how it feels to lose a brother or a sister. I do.. and he was like well ya thats true but....I was like but what? So we left it at that. And I can honestly say, that if you have never lost a sister or a brother, that you can not even begin to feel the pain and thoughts and everything else that comes with it. You dont know how it feels. But I shall leave it at that for now, and until we meet again, I will always always think about you daily and never ever forget that I had...HAVE...a brother as great and wonderful as you ARE!!!!
I LOVE YOU AND I WILL NEVER EVER FORGET ABOUT YOU AND NO MATTER WHAT, I WILL ALWAYS KEEP YOU ALIVE IN ME!!!!
Hello/ Crystal Poitra (Sister)
Hello there big brother. Well its been 3 years and seems like forever. Sometimes it feels like you are not even gone that you are still in Grand Forks. But when it comes to me I know that your not there. Some days go by that are really really hard and the other days I just think that you are in GF. Some thing just reminds me that you are still here. Then I start to feel better. But I can guarentee that it will never get better. Some people say it does but those must be just the really strong people. I try to be that strong but it dont work that way. Especially that I have something here to look at and remind me of you every day, your furniture. And Ryan went and bought the Hawaiian Breeze things. You know what I am talking about. Walk up the 3 flights of steps to your apartment and smell it by the time you get to the 2 flight. But I best be going here...so I will talk to you later again. LOVE YOU & MISS YOU BUNCHES Close

Hey Baby Gene // I don't know if you remember me, but I used to go to your house along time ago whenever you used to live in the trailor down from your parents house. I used to be scared shitless if your lil dog. U used to call her *ByTch* LoL! She used to be a wild one. I was scared of her. You, Megan, and Morgan would just all laugh at me. Anyways, I bet you're having a good time up there uh? Your going to have to give Britnee a big hug for me. However, keep watching over your family! You and your family are in my prayers. Take Care .. Much Love, Brittany Jo*
Didn't forget! / Crystal Poitra (Sister)
Hey there brother..Like I said a little late and you are probably mad at me. Didnt forget. I will never forget your special day. Especially when I hear you say "whatcha getting me for my birthday?" Miss that. Miss everything. Some days are sooo hard. Ryanne is going to school hopefully this year. Carmen is in her room so maybe she will like it. The horseshoe tournament is this weekend we didnt forget about that either. Like Vanessa said you will make it rain and thunder only on our house if we forget. But we dont forget when it comes to you especially when you are in our minds all the time. Not one minute when we are not thinking about you. But I have to go for now. Going to see Ryannes teacher. So I will write again later.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! (popping balloons and confetti all over HAHA) The big 3-1...exciting isnt it? Well its your birthday according to my time over here but back home which I think this will show up that I typed it a day early. But oh well.... This is my first time posting here I just never knew what to write to you. Somethings have changed and some haven't since you left. There definitely is no way to express how much I miss you. I find myself thinking about you and talking to you. I'm sure more than a million times you've heard me ask "Why?" or trying to bargain "If only..." I've come to realize that its selfish of me to keep asking for you to return knowing you are in a much better place. When I come to this page and I see your pics its almost like you aren't gone. It feels like you are just back home and I'm over here in Japan and I just haven't seen you in ages. So many memories you can't help but reminsce and laugh. Kyla is going to have a baby maybe if its a girl she will name it "Eunessa." HAHA Forget it!!! Well I think I will close this for now. I will write again sometime later. Feel free to come visit anytime. Thalen and I have lots of time for visiting on our hands. Keep watch over your family. Miss you!!!

My prayers are still with your family always because I know how close your family is and how much they miss you. Your friends miss you dearly but your family misses you deeply. Well Baby Gene my memories of you will never leave and my prayers will stay with you always. God Bless!!!!Close
