To the entire Lentz family: It is with a sad heart that I send this message to all of you, Mrs Lentz was always so very thoughtful and kind to my son Eric and our families..she always knew she could call on us when she needed anything or to go anywhere...It was a great joy taking her shopping, to the bank, to get her hair done, to the doctors, to the drug store, to shop, or just to get out of the house. She loved her family and us, also, and never failed to tell us..sometimes with a kiss on the cheek for taking her places, bringing her food, or just stopping by to make sure she was ok...God has gained another angel!!! Thank you for sharing her with us over the years..
Lucy Howard, Eric Howard
