To Adrienne and Family, I am so sorry for your loss. I am a friend of Gene's from WDC. I met you before you and Gene got married, probably about 20 years ago. I left DC and moved to NC with my son. My name at that time was Sandie Dial. My prayers are with you. Gene was a wonderful friend of mine and to my family. I will always remember his laughter and smile. He was a kind, giving and great person. I sincerely pray for your strength in the upcoming days, weeks and months. When your heart becomes sadden just remember how much he loved you and all the laughter and memories that you two shared. I will continue to keep you in prayer. Love Sandie I hope that you remember me, from long ago:

My prayers go out to the family. It was a delight to work with Dr. Williams, may his soul rest in peace.
