Cousins, Anthony and Rhonda,
I”m sorry to hear of Uncle Thomas’s passing. I have fond memories of our childhoods with you and Uncle Thomas. My brother Gerald Knox Honey died a year ago today. I miss them both.
Love you all,
Eugene Honey
Anthony, so sorry to hear of your dad passing. He was a sweet man. You were a good son to go visit him every day. I can still see him sitting playing bingo. Prayers for you and your family.

Anthony, Kay, Robin, Neil and all the family so sorry for the loss of your loved one.
Rhonda, I’m so very sorry about your Dad. He sure was a very nice man, and know you and family will miss his sweet, kind, and loving personality. Sure thought a lot of Mr. Honey. Prayers for comfort to all during this loss.
Anthony, We enjoyed Mr. Honey’s visits at the Wednesday night singings at Donalson. He was popular with his fellow residents in assisted care. They worried about him and always encouraged him to go. He was a fine gentleman and will be missed greatly.
Rhonda and Family, I’m so sorry, you all are in my thoughts and prayers. I know you told me Sat. that he was really in bad shape. Thinking of you all. Bless you all.
Love , Judy
I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Honey’s passing. I loved him and enjoyed taking care of his hair and beard while I was in the salon. My sympathy to all his family.
