Growing up with four (4) of your sons (Robert, Daryl, Stephen-Great friend, & Patrick-Excellent cousin thru marriage), the Kent family has always been well represented. Moma Regina ran the house with a Big stick and a loving hear t . Great values of honesty, courage, forgiveness, purpose, discipline, respect, and love have been displayed and excercised for as long as I can remember. Kent family, remember the Legacy that was started many, many years ago and keep moving forward.
