Having exhausted all options to find a solution to my health issues, the problem remains unresolved and I am now on Hospice.
I just want to say thanks for the many years of association on the Forum with some of the finest individuals I have ever known, both professionally and personally. Our sometimes spirited discussions have always been conducted with courtesy and mutual respect for the opinions of others.
The expected rapid deterioration of my health will probably prevent further postings by me, so I'll just close by saying "peace be with you as it is with me".
Luv ya,
Gene Jones

 Gene, sorry to say I never knew you, but have seen your postings. I guess this stage in life will come to all of us some time, some sooner, some later. I love your sign off message about Peace. That is the most important thing right now, to be at Peace: with yourself, others around you as family & friends, and your Maker.
God Bless

Now comes the time when you start reflect
back a lot and wonder if you made the right decisions.
You still have some very important decisions
in front of you. Trusting you have made those
choices. God be with you.

I've been enlightened by some of Gene's posts over the years. Sad that it has come to this point. As a "Florida Retiree" I see this too often.
Prayers to you and your family. |

Gene, I pray medical relief and intervention for your situation. I have enjoyed your posts, thoughts and cyber friendship over the many years. Trust in the Lord with all thy heart, lean not unto your own understanding, in all ways acknowledge him & he will direct your paths. Thank you for sharing your time and life with us. Prayers for you & your family.
From this relationship I am confident in saying "from now & until then" |

Dear Mr. Jones,
We have not met but after reading your message and your web pages I can tell that you have lived
a long and wonderful life that most men could only dream of. You have had an amazing musical journey
and most importantly, you have been accompanied by your lovely wife throughout it. I wish you well and
I take strength from your strength. Most can not leave this world so calmly. So soberly. So honestly.
I admire you.
Godspeed Mr. Jones.

Dear Gene,
You have been an inspiration to many here on the Forum. I have always enjoyed your posts, but even more so I have enjoyed looking in on your website, as it is a deeper glimpse into your personal life. It shows that you love and adore your wife, your family & friends, and your furry friends, as well. Thank you for the gift of your good-bye, so that we may lift you up with joy and love as you depart. You deserve to hear the words of those you have touched. May God bless you and keep you ..... always..........

Dear Mr. Gene. I want to thank you for all the information you provided here and for being so kind in answering my p.m's. I think I'm one of the many 'born in the fifties' generation, who look up to yours, for doing what you've done, and not only musically.

Yes, Gene, quite a post. It brought tears to my eyes.
One doesn't often get to say goodbye. It's not easy.
Godspeed to my favorite cowboy.
Peace,
