Note from the Allgaiers

Dear Kent and all your family,

What wonderful memories we have of times well spent together sharing the same commitment to the gospel, the same hopes for our families, the joy of serving others, the love of grandchildren.


We recall delicious meals, warm hospitality and enjoyable and meaningful conversations. We have been so grateful for the closeness we have felt with your family.


May your family be blessed with comfort and peace knowing that your beloved wife and mother has magnified her opportunities and experiences in this life and been a blessing to so many. We remember with much appreciation how you took our BYU students under your wing and fed them so many delicious meals. Pat showed us the best way to keep scrapbooks (which we use today) she initiated buying new scriptures for grandchildren being baptized, she watched over our children as their relationships with their future eternal companions evolved. What a blessing you all have been to our family.

Our love and deepest sympathy are with you all. May the Lord bless you all in this time of need.


With love,
Glen and Cindy Allgaier

Note from Bob Weger

Kent & Family –


I was sadden to hear of the passing of Pat. She was a great person who shared her talents & love to all. I know Stephanie had a great fondness for her & I am sure they are renewing their friendship at this time.


What a blessing you have had to be together all these years & with the knowledge that the best is yet to come. My thoughts & prayers are with all of you.


Sincerely,

Bob Weger

Note from Sharon Turman

Dear Kent and family

The tides come in and then go out regardless of what else may be coincidental. When they come to shore the waters are overwhelmingly powerful. When the tide withdraws one perceives a peaceful serenity, especially if there is a colorful sunset on the horizon.


Sorrow is like the waters that meet the land, sometimes the intensity of it is overwhelming and sometimes there is a calm reassurance that all is well and tomorrow will come.


Loss becomes a memory and, thankfully, tolerance for the pain, never to be forgotten, makes it possible to recall pleasant times spent together with the sweetheart who has completed a sojourn in mortality and has progressed to immortality.


May you be blessed with the peace that surpasses understanding inspired from the assurance that you will be together with your beloved again.


Love,

Sharon Turman Smith and Bob
