Please sign the guestbook below.
We are so very sorry to read about Kent’s passing. He spent a lot of time with my brother, Gary, who passed away a few years ago. My parents(Ralph and Betty Lautzenheiser) thought of him as another son! We sure have many memories of the good old days when Kent was a kid. Please know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers.
Ralph, Betty and Dale Lautzenheiser and Barbara Kidwell
Nancy, I was so sorry to read of Kent’s passing. I remeber so very many great times with your family and ours. I will always cherish the friendship we had back then. Wish we could have kept in touch.
My thought and prayers are with you and the children during this time and the months ahead.
To Nancy and family our sincere and heart-felt sympathies. Sorry I didn’t know sooner but only today was it in the paper. If we can be of any help give a holler. Peace be with you.
