Verna Mae and family,
We are so sorry to hear about your loss, but we rejoice with you that Kent is with his Lord and Savior! When we lived in Cincinnati, Kent was such a fun Gloria Dei Choir member to get to know. He was always up to something! Steven sang in the tenor section with him for the two years we were there and I was a soprano. Kent will be missed by the many who have known him in all the different activities he took part in! God bless you all! You're in our prayers!

Verna Mae, Debra, Gregg, Scott and families: What a loss for your family. He and Verna Mae were linked together in my childhood, and it is inspiring to see how they supported each other throughout his life. Your family has had such a difficult road to travel this year. May you find rest and peace. May sweet memories of Kent be in your thoughts. And one day, Father's Day will bring a small smile to your faces as you share stories about Kent's antics. Fred and I are so sorry that we are not able to be with you today. I woke up with you in my prayers, and will continue to lift you up.
