In early September 2022, Pastor Gene experienced what was thought to be a 'slight stroke'.  After more testing, imaging and a biopsy, he was diagnosed with lymphoma of the brain. At the end of October he began receiving chemo in Dansville NY and also at the Wilmot Cancer Center at Strong in Rochester, NY.  Before Christmas, an MRI was done and that showed that the treatments had not been working.  In early January the decision was made to begin hospice. On Friday, January 6, 2023 at 10:15 pm with his family at his side, Gene ran into heaven. 

Below is a link to a PDF of Pastor Gene's time spent in prayer, reading the Bible and listening to what God has been saying in the fall of 2022.  This is not a medical record or synopsis, rather it is a journal of a vulnerable, personal journey with God.
