What a lovely and eloquent story of Quent's passing. Those of us who knew him, and you, morn his loss. But also those who believe the way we do, look forward to seeing him again. What a wonderful thought. As I write this with tears in my eyes, I look back to the many fine times we've had in the past and the many conversations we've had. Quent was a Classmate through and through and served us and his fellow man well in his own quiet way throughout his entire life. For that we are all truly grateful and I for one know he is up there with our Maker just waiting for us to join him. He and you both will have my prayers today at Mass, not so much for Quent, but for those of us that miss him so sorely. We are all blessed to have known him. In deep sorrow.. TOMMY AND ELAINE WEST :( |
