Dear Bill and Julie,
We just found out about the death of your dad. We were out of town. We just wanted you to know that our prayers are with you...Your friends, Brenda and Travis Stice and family

I remember Buck from my "growing up" days in Wickett and Monahans. He was a golf buddy of my dad, Holt Eastland, for many years and a true son of West Texas. He and Mary also played a lot of bridge, which included my mom, Effie, and dad.

We will really miss uncle Buck. He was so kind and sweet. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.

So sorry for your loss. I was priviledged to work for Mr. Kent and Bill for several years, and cherish my time with the Kent companies. I know the employees will miss seeing Mr. Kent in his office. Bill, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your families! Love to you all and my co-workers at the Kent Companies.God Bless!

Tom, I remember you speaking so highly of your father. My condolences.
Sincerely,

Only a few hours ago, I learned of Buck's death. Drake joins me in our love and prayers with all of you---Jim, Mary Ann, Tom and Bill.
I feel like I lost another father. You all know how much your family has meant to me through these many years. I am sorry that I have not seen any of your for several years, but you are a part of me. I would have flown out there tomorrow had I known earlier today. I will be in touch as soon as possible. Marg
