I am still struggling with the thought this has actually happened. My heart is heavy. Prayers to all of those in this time of sorrow. He was taken far too soon. He was barely older than my son, his cousin Derek; they attended school together and had seen each other at a boat show a couple of weeks ago. Brent was such a fun loving individual. All of us loved Brent. I can still remember him as a happy baby. I admired how he dealt with his cancer as a child, he would find something to smile about even in such pain. He grew up to be a kind man with a gentle soul. Brent loved family and doing things for others. He was his dad made over. He also had his mom's perseverance. No matter how long it may have been between our conversations, we could always joke around as if only speaking days before. Brent possessed such an infectious laugh too. It is all too true, we think we will have time tomorrow to do and say the things we feel for each other. We must take the time. Brent, we shall miss your smile, laughter, kindness and zest for life. You have truly earned your wings; may you ascend to Heaven and God keep you forever. Amen. We love you and miss you deeply cousin!
