Our dearest condolences. Kent was a great friend of our father´s at Story Point. They played cards for a time and sat together at almost every mealtime. He would always walk with our dad to ensure he made it safely back to his room. Dad has missed him very much. Thankful he is resting in the arms of Jesus now.
