Mark and Gary, March 16, 2010

Our condolences to you upon reading the obituary for Kent just now. I have vivid and pleasant memories of summers in Holton when your family would join ours for homemade ice cream at 203 Kansas Ave. Also of slide shows at your house. Julie and I have also just suffered the loss of dad (b. Feb 10, 1908 and d. Feb 7, 2010). In searching the internet for some Sinning history, I stumbled on Kent's obituary. It is amazing how the power of the internet can keep our family connected after all these years! Our sympathies to you and your families.
