Dear Friend and Relatives of Kent,
Please accept our condolences of your loved one. Kent was so attentive to my Dad, Clayton Hardy during the sickness and passing of his wife. Kent would call to check on my Dad several times a week. Kent called Dad twice after my Mom's passing in January. I am so sorry that Kent did not make it back to Maine to see my Dad and pick up where they left off. My Dad and Kent were co-workers at Pharm-Corp in Augusta.
Again, please accept our condolences. May peace and blessings come quickly for you all.
Sandra Rice, Claytons daughter
