Daniel Vernon Avent

Dr. Avent, I still miss you every day. You believed in me, loved me and encouraged me when no one else did, other than my parents. The biggest regret I have is that I was unable to go to your funeral. Though I know you knew what you meant to me, I never got a chance to tell you how much I love you. It may be 12 years later, but I love you so much. You were such a blessing and such a friend. God bless you, you sweet, sweet saint.

My heart goes out to you at this time. I am truly sorry for your loss. As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life’s routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. Reading Psalms 121 is a very comforting scriptural passage. There you will find assurance of God’s support as well. Please accept my deepest sympathies.
