Sherlene Long Lawrence, Bill Long's daughter and my favorite "Polander" and Anthony and Paul...
There are no words to share to ease the hurt you kids are enduring...Time will help but will never heal the pain of losing a loved one.
Kent and I go way back and he was always a jolly and pleasant friend. My son Tim, had got to know Kent and enjoyed being around him and came by today expressing his hurt of losing him too soon.
