| Message | Kent was a valued member of 2nd Story and the Wizards. We kept him in the batting lineup. Each week a teammate will bat in his memory. Buddy ran the bases and got a home run in Kent's memory. It was a sad game Friday night without Kent to cheer us on. We knew he is in heaven and looking down on us. He's not going to miss a game. He will still be rooting us on in spirit. |

| Message | Willard and Verla, my deepest sympathy to you and all of your family. I will always remember, my special memory of Kent, when he sang "I Am A Promise" at his graduation at Eric Ramstad. I don't believe there was a dry eye in room. Roger |
