Hello Dan and Mercedes,

Thank you,

I know words can not express your loss. But I have seen the strength and love you have in your heart and that will help you through the days. May the Lord be with you and your family. I greatly admire you, Bobbie, and you have my greatest sympathy.
Wish I had known. Gene and Bobbie baptized my precious granddaughter, Jasmine Mott, 18 years ago at a church in Speegleville when the then pastor at First Methodist refused to. After the baptism I was glad the two of you performed the ceremony–you both sang and the whole thing was beautiful and meaningful. I will always remember his beautiful voice and wonderful spirit. Bobbie, you and Gene are forever in my heart.
It is with much heaviness of heart that we have learned of the death of our very dear friend Gene Moore. Our prayers and condolences to Bobbie and kids.

My heart goes out to you at this time. I will always have such fond memories of you & Gene parked in the parking lot at Crestview after lunch laughing and enjoying life with one another in that cute little car. Your love for one another was truely a testament to your faith and the wonderful people that you are.
Love, Kay
Bobbie, My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time of loss. I know that Brenda must have met Gene at the gate welcoming him home. I can just imagine the beautiful music that was being made when another of God’s singers made it home.
