August 27, 2024 at 2:17 pmI am the daughter of Robert Lalumiere. My father always took us to see Aunt Yvonne ( his father’s sister) on Sunday’s after church in the 1950’s.
I remember Gene and Donald Buckley were in their twenties and I thought they were so handsome.
My condolences to the family. I am sorry that I cannot attend services and meet you all.
We had a wonderful family.

August 28, 2024 at 10:26 pmThis is Kathy (Buckley) Valvanis. The daughter of Donald. I am so very sorry about your loss of Gene. He and Donna were always very nice to myself and my brother when we had the chance to see them. I always felt as though I was looking at my Dad’s twin. Both very handsome men!
Gene lived a full and effective life. A great lesson for all of us.
I am SORRY I will not be able to attend. I pray that all of your hearts are carried by Jesus in this trying time.
