I don't ever remember seeing my cousin, Tom Gentry, when he didn't have a smile on his face. He was always "up to something". I loved to hear him sing, he always wanted to make sure he got his bass part right if we were learning a new song. Prayers for Pam and Steve and the rest of the family.

Pam and Steve: It is hard to believe that 15 years ago your dad along with other board members brought my dad's water board picture to her and presented it to her. I will never forget that day. Think about the good and positive times that you had with him. God gives you the strength to carry on. God Bless you during these difficult days ahead.

I know that this is a sad day for your family. Facing the loss of a dear loved one is such a devastating event. I too have experienced such a loss. I am praying that your family will use the comfort from the scriptures to help you to endure....Rev.21:3,4.
