    Quentin’s love for his family was clear to see. And he was a good friend to me. He always showed such patience and caring. I’ll always remember him and his sense of humor. He is missed.

    AS I SAID BEFORE IT SEEMS JUST LIKE A DREAM THAT QUENTIN COULD HAVE GOT SICK SO QUICK AND NOW IS GONE FROM US ALL. I WORKED WITH HIM AT THE HOTEL FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND COULD NOT HAVE ASK FOR ANY ONE TO BE SO CARING AND HELPFUL. WE WORK THE LATE SHIFT SO WE GOT TO TALK ALOT AND SHARE ALOT OF STORIES ABOUT OUR LIVES AND FAMILY .. I REMEMBER ONE TIME WHEN HIM AND I WERE GOING TO GET RICH ADDRESSING EVEVLOPES DURING OUR FREE TIME AT WORK, WAS THAT A JOKE . WE LAUGHED ABOUT THAT ALL THE TIME .. BUT HE WAS VERY RICH IN LOVE FOR HIS WIFE AND DAUGHTER .ALSO WE COMPARED OUR BABIES AVERY AND MY GRANDDAUGHTER WHO WAS 2 MONTHS APART……I COULD GO ON AND ON ABOUT THE GOODS THINGS TO SAY ABOUT HIM BUT I CAN ONLY USE 1000 WORDS . REMEMBER PAM YOU ARE ANY MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYS AND PLEASE CALL ME ANY TIME WE DO HAVE A LOT IN COMMON WHEN IT COMES TO OUR HUSBANDS…..WE WILL TALK LATER

  18. Pam,
    My heart is so heavy in the loss of Quentin. I can’t imagine what you are going through. God was so gracious when He allowed you and I to marry the ‘right’ man the first time. Lean on the Lord in this time and He will get you through. My prayers are with you.
