Kent
We cannot express how sad we feel for your loss; you both have been good friends for a lot of years. I will always remember when you and Barbie first got together and all the fun times we had at "The Pine" along with the Hercon gang. Barbie was too young to leave this world, but I am glad that you two had those 24 years together; you made such a great couple and I know how much she loved you. Our prayers are with you and we will see you soon.
