My thoughts, prayers and condolences are with the family at this sorrowful time. I was good friends with the Gentry's in the 60's as a teenager. May the Good Lord watch over you all.

Sharon was a great lady. We had so much fun when we worked together both at Oxy and Brookfield. I use to talk with her weekly until her had her stoke then I couldn´t get a hold of her so Marilyn Sokolosky would let me know from time to time how she was. She will be missed. Keeping Denny and her family in my prayers during this difficult time.

Until the last few months, we talked almost everyday. No one ever had a better friend. We shared so many laughs over the years and had some crazy fun adventures. Love you my friend.

My aunt is the last of siblings (Aunts and Uncle) that are all passed and so hard to lose who you love. She's with God now and in peace. Prayers to my Uncle Denny to give him strength and to all the family.
