Larry Brent Tolbert

Dear Linda and Rachel,

Although I have been one of the "quiet neighbors" in your neighborhood, I will always have two special thoughts about your husband and dad.

One, as we got settled into the neighborhood and I would drive by your home, if Brent was out, he ALWAYS had a wave for me - and that I appreciate so very much. It turned me into a lifelong 'waver' because it is a small way to acknowledge another being and show a little courtesy and friendliness in this world.

Second - when Brent got the riding mower, it made such an impression - because I know he was quite sick then - and I was REMINDED TO DO WHAT YOU ABSOLUTELY CAN DO, AS LONG AS YOU CAN. I can always picture seeing him riding that mower in the front yard and so proud of his contribution and effort. I hope I will always have that much drive to keep going.

Thank you Brent for these two gifts.

The first really warm day of each year when Spring breaks through, I will picture you and remember you.

My thoughts will be with both of you in the coming days.

Linda.........Jackie and I were sorry to hear about Brent's death. We remember you, your family and Neil's family thru Dermont and Shirley. Just know that there are those that "care". Sam & Jackie

Linda:

Ben and I were so saddened to hear about Brent as we know it has been so tough for you for some time now. Please know our prayers are with you and Rachel through this time.

Linda, I only just heard Thursday that Brent was in the hospital and today I heard that he had passed away. I am so very sorry for your loss. You've always been very special to me and I know that you will face some difficult roads ahead of you. Please know that I have a good shoulder to cry on and that I'm a good listener. I'll keep you and Rachel in my prayers.

Love, Beryl

Dear Linda,



We are new in the Bowers Sunday School class, but we just wanted to send our hugs and prayers to you.

Linda,



So sorry to hear of Brent's death. He was such a special man, overcoming so much pain without complaint. He was truly a role model for all. Wish we could be there with you, but our thoughts and prayers are with you and Rachel.



Much Love,

Gary, Janet, and Brooks

Linda,

With sadness, I read Brent's obituary. My thoughts are with you and Rachel. I remember when you were pregnant with Rachel when we worked together at Little & Associates. You seemed so very happy.



I now live in Charlotte again--Dave, my husband, & I have two boys, 9 & 6. My kindergartner has Type 1 Diabetes, and it is an every day struggle. I am sending a contribution to the American Diabetes Association in Brent's name. My thoughts are with you.



Fondly,

Janice
