Ovelle T. Kent

We will miss you so much.
You are an inspiration for all of us.The many science talks you had with me growing up directed me to where I am today. Thank you! I probably never would have taken an interest if it weren't for you.
I know we are all going to miss those creative Christmas presents too. It definitely won't be the same.
We'll be seeing you...
I love you,
Tiffany

A wonderful Grandmother to her Grandson Jerry Kent. Mrs. Kent taught my Father Billy Roberts at Sayre Elementory School in the 40's.

After my husband Jerry died, several years later I remarried, and had a daughter, Tiffany, and Ovelle and Mr. Kent always treated...
