To the Fent Family,
I went to school with Rita and Dale. And I remember Joy from the Dairy Corner. I Just passed the sign in front of the Dairy Corner. My Wife and I are so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. I also lost my Dad April 2005 and my Mom this past February. It is not easy to lose a parent. But know that her memory will live on in your hearts every day. My heart pours out to all of you at this sad time.

Dear Fent Family - I'd like to extend my deepest sympathies to you for your loss. Mrs. Fent was my very first boss as I worked for her at the Dairy Corner through school. I got to know her and the family very well throughout the years. Please know that you all are in my thoughts.
