I grew up in Egypt Lake Estates and knew Mrs. Kent as a kid. Use to swim behind the house with Gary and jump off the dock. She would also let us use her horse trailer so I could take my horse to shows. Sometimes I would ride my bike over and help her in the yard. She was a very sweet lady. Bless you.
