Sandra,

My heartfelt sympathies go out to you and your family. You and Hentz were a great couple back at FSU in the 60's when you and I were freshman roommmates in Reynolds Hall (gang showers, no air conditioning!) . I remember when you and Hentz became engaged. May God bless you and your children at this sad time and help you treasure your memories of Hentz and the days and years you had together.

Dear Sandra, Libby, Tre, Betty, Edward, and Suzanne,

I was saddened to hear of Hentz's death. We go way back with lots of FSU football games, raising children, going through the changes of Gadsden County.....

I do remember Hentz was such an adrent supporter of Robt F Munroe.

Now, I'm sure he'll be at peace.

For those remaining on this earth, I pray the Lord will comfort and bring a peace over you, too.

Love & prayers, Diane

Mr Edward, Mrs Betty, Suzanne and Sandra,

I was so sorry to hear about Hentz. I have very fond memories of Hentz. As a young boy growing up in Greensboro I always looked up to him because he was older and wiser and always had time for a young boy that was hanging around Fletcher Company. I will always remember when he and I got to go with Daddy to pick up Greensboro's first fire truck as well as the times we spent in Blue Hammock hunting.

God Bless each of you and may he rest in peace.

Dear Libby and Trey and Miss Sandra,

"What time is it when an elephant sits on your fence?" I can't hear that joke without thinking of your daddy or think of your daddy without hearing that joke! You all were such a part of my life as well as Pat's from the time we first started at RFM. Mr. Hentz put up with all of us when we helped ourselves at the store and let us have it when we weren't where he expected us to be or stayed out way beyond curfew. He even looked out for me, too, when Libby and I went off to Converse. Your whole family always treated me like one of your own. From the trip to the Sugar Bowl to holding hands singing the blessing, your family enriched my life in ways you will never know. Please know that you all are in my thoughts as you go through this difficult time. Mr. Hentz is at peace now and we can all be grateful for that.

Much love, Holle
