Not sure what to say?

Well, Jack, all of your Dents weighed in to say "Until we meet again". From Erin Dent Wirick (who was too ill with the flu to attend the visitation, but made sure she was heard!), Annette Dent McCormack in Wichita, Diane Dent in Arizona, Charlie W. and George R.Dent, who attended the visitation. We have all enjoyed the stories for years of those two little boys, Jack and George M.. Some of us remember your sweet mother, your fun aunt, your entertaining children and your kind father. You were always there for us if we needed a little help...or a lot! You left us a legacy of love and, Oh, Jack, we love you right back!
Many prayers too, for all.
God Bless.

So many fond memories of Jack... such a caring and warm hearted person who was always helping others. Jack's high energy and fun loving personality allowed everyone to have a great time! When I was young, he would take a yard stick and make an air guitar out of it and much more! I can still hear Jack say "Camp Weee Beee Geee Beee" when we were attending camp Webegee in Webster Groves; he loved saying that! These and the memories of riding with Jack to The Golden Spoon will be cherished forever...
My heart goes out to all of Jack's family and friends who love and miss him dearly.

It is hard to believe that a person so vividly filled with life, passion and laughter as Jack was, could be gone. How is it possible that there is not a huge visible hole in our world to match the one in our hearts? My condolences to Jacks family. He will be missed terribly.
