Though it has been years since we connected - I will never forget the goodness in Kents heart. His guidance and will gave me the strength to carry on when I thought I could not. He helped me become a better person and I am blessed to have known him.

The love we shared
was just too great,
It ended as if it were meant by fate.
We shared our thoughts,
our worries, our dreams.
Of which only a few came true...
For awhile, it was just me and you.
Our plans for the future were all so fine,
Its just too bad we didnt have enough time.

My condolences to your family, I am sorry for your loss.

Michelle and Ashley,
Kent was loved by many and will be missed by all. The spirit of him still lives among us. We will all miss his great personality and the person he was. I new Kent as a co-worker and learned about the true loves in his life. I am glad to have known him and he has made me a better person. Keep your heads held high and your faith strong.

Thank you,

Dear God,
Take good care of our Kenny. Remind him how much he is loved. If tears could bring him back, Kenny would be in AZ right now. But we trust in Your Divine Wisdom and thank You for easing his pain and suffering.
Hope You enjoy the Kenny's wit the way we all did.
Comfort Michelle and Ashley as they heal. Give them the strength and joy to go forward in the strength of family.
AMEN

Dear Michelle and Ashley,
I can't tell you how lucky we were to have had the opportunity to come and visit all of you during Kent's last few weeks of life. Someone or something told me that this was the time to visit. This intuition proved right. You both allowed us to be a part of the caring process for Kent. We were both honored and appreciative for this. It wasn't easy. I can't even begin to write what all I felt and saw during my time with all of you, all I can say is that I was never so impressed by a family's dedication and commitment to one another during this difficult time. I felt happy and sad at the same time - happy that Kent was in the best possible hands ever and sad because someone so near and dear to everyone was going to leave us. You both have such great family support and great friend support and this made me tickle on the inside because this is a true blessing. I'm certain that the days to come will get better although you will have bumps, but with the strength that I have seen in both of you and the tremendous support you guys have, there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that you will both be okay. And you better believe that Kent is seeing all of this and is cheering you both on to live life to its fullest. He is with you no matter where you go or what you do. He is your biggest fan so make him proud.
Much much love to both of you now and always and please don't ever forget that we are available anytime day or night if you need anything.

I have great memories growing up with Kent. Like hiking the hills, jumping off the cliffs at the lake, riding his motorcycle, going shooting out in the desert. However, we wouldn't let our adventurous spirit get us into trouble (his mother may remember differently). I am very proud to say he is my friend. Kent will be an inspiration to me the rest of my life. I will miss him very much. My deepest sympathies to his family.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I will never forget you, ever. You're my other dad. I'm more than thankful for the memories we have, I wish we could've had more. I can't begin to explain how much I'm going to miss you. You're amazing. An amazing husband, an amazing father, an amazing friend. You'll forever be in my heart and in my memory. I'll keep you with me wherever I go. We'll take good care of Michelle and Ashley, the rest of the family has eachother's backs. We're all taking care of eachother. Wish you were still here. I love you and I will miss you. See you at the superbowl party <3.
