Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
I will bless the Lord at all times and His praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. Oh magnify the Lord with me and let us exalt His name together. No matter whatever the circumstances that comes in our lives. We must Praise our Lord & Saviour. I am sorry to hear about the lost of Elder Dent. I never had the pleasure to met him, but I use to see him driving around town in his truck. I would say oh that's Levi's dad. smile! Mother Dent you and your family are in my prayers.

Oh My, What A Shock !
We opened todays paper and found that Our Friend, Mr. Dent had been called home to be with our Lord. We also know that he is truly home, peaceful, and happy.
The Lord shared him with us for about 12 years and he became a very special person to us. We will miss all our phone and mail communications. He was always putting smiles on our faces and he will never be forgotten. He will truly, truly be missed.
We are sending many thoughts and prayers to all of his family.

Mr. Dent purchased his first home from me when he was 77 years old! He humbly gained a home, I gained a new friend in Christ. Motivating, energic and a warrior for Christ! Absent from the body, present with the Lord in yet another new home! I will miss him and our phone conversations. May God continue to bless his family still on this side with fond memories!
