BITTERSWEET DEPARTURE

Gene Drew McCain
May 4, 1949-October 1, 2009
"I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death. For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain."
Philippians 1:20,21

"For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time has come for my departure. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day--and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing."
2 Timothy 4:6-8

After a long hard fight, Gene sweetly passed from this earth Thursday, October 1st at 1:50pm. He spent the last several days of his life completely enveloped by his loving family, who were at his side when he passed and will miss him dearly.

Thanking you for your prayers,

Michele
