"It has been many, many years since my growing up days in Cambridge with my cousin, Eugene, and all of his brothers, who were more brothers to me than cousins. He has been blessed with a wonderful, full life and my condolences go to all family members. Cousin, Sheila (Coggan) Jewer"

"From the moment that we started to join the Monsignore family, Nancy and Papa Gene became a mother and father to all of us, just as if they were our own flesh and blood. They became a piece of our heart that is now broken because they have gone on to a better place together. Papa Gene, we love you and will miss you until that day when we meet again. With love, Luz Stella, Miguel, Miguel Jr, and Daniel. Desde el momento que empezamos a formar parte de la familia Monsignore, Nancy y Papa Gene se convirtieron en madre y padre de todos nosotros como si fueran nuestros propios padres. Ellos son parte de nuestro corazón que está roto porque ellos han partido a su nuevo hogar juntos. Papa Gene, te amamos y te vamos a extrañar hasta que nos volvamos a encontrar nuevamente. Con amor Luz Stella, Miguel, Miguel Jr y Daniel"
