Dear Mrs. Upton and family, I was saddened to hear of Kent's passing. Kent and I worked together at Dixie Trucking years ago. Kent was a pleasure to work with, always friendly and uplifting with a great sense of humor, making our workplace a better place to be. He was as some say, "good people." May our Lord comfort you all.

Mrs. Upton,
I am so sorry to hear about Kent. I have such fond memories of Kent's friendship and the hospitality of the Upton household. I am sorry distance has prevented me to remain in contact. It only seems like yesterday when Kent and I were "flopping" on the mat. He will be missed but will remain forever remembered as a great guy and true friend.
Kent and the Upton family will be in my prayers.

Dearest Alex and family,
I am truly saddened for the loss of Kent. He was a great guy and will be missed. It seems like yesterday we were kids rolling around on the wrestling mat at Huss. What a good friend he was. May God comfort and sustain you now and in the days to come.

Mary,
I am thinking about you and your family tonight as I read the news paper. I know it must be hard to lose
a child. I lost my sister on December 28th. Knowing that only God can fill the void in my heart is the only thing getting me through each day. My prayer for you is that God will fill your heart and give you comfort also. Bless you and your family at this sad time.
Huggs,

Miss Mary,

Our families go back a long time and the memories are all we have-great memories.
May the Lord keep you and comfort you in the days to come.
We love you
Wanda and Dawn
