Kent was one of a kind. Our time together was always out of the box and I learned a lot from him. We have loved you, Jean, from the time we bought our house from you through our time in ministry together. Our lives were much richer because you and Kent were in them. Kirk once stood in front of our church and told the guys on the softball team that he had never experienced such fellowship. Softball star... just another of the may faces of Kent. All our love, prayers for peace and Gods blessings on you and yours. Well done faithful servant.
