He was a fantastic mentor to me. Helped guide me and also to dust my thinking in a way that would always have a positive influence on how I view the world and myself.

There are two things I will remember about Mayor Anderson-- his always cheerful attitude and his integrity. He once told me, to make sure we fixed his street last. He didn't want any favors, or even the appearance, because he was the Mayor. He was a great man.

Dear Delores and family,
Brent was a great friend and leader to us and our children. Jackie and I remember the fun Bishopric parties. Brent gave me training on "how to be a bishop". I will always be grateful. If we were not serving a mission in New Mexico, we would certainly be at the services.
Our love and deepest sympathies,

I was so sorry to hear of Brent's passing. May I just say that I remember "Bishop Anderson" so fondly. He showed great love, acceptance and leadership to me when he was our bichop in the Jordan North 5th ward. So many good memories of his involvement with our Young Men and Young Women's groups. I know many people wonder as they near the end of their lives, if they have made a difference. I'm sorry I didn't get the chance to tell Brent personally, but he made a difference in mine. Delores, my heart goes out to you. What a difficult time. So many emotions and sorrow. I hope you and your family will all be comforted by the knowledge the Gospel brings to us of eternal life. Delores, you hold a special place in my heart! I hope to make it down to the viewing on Fri. night, but I'm preparing my yard for a bridal shower for my youngest daughter Annabelle on Saturday and there's still much to do. I'd love to see your family and hope I can. My love to you all, Allison Barton (Nielsen) Richman

Dolores, I am sorry to hear about Brent. I was looking forward to seeing him at the Unysis Luncheons in the future. I worked closely with him at Sperry and whe he was Mayor and I was on the South Jordan Planning and Zoning Commission, we swapped stories about the things we had to do to satisfy the public. I also enjoyed the time I spent with you guys while I was seeing Lois. You are a great family and I know you will have a great eternity together.
