My condolences to Mark and all of the Lentz Family. We were neighbors for many years, and I always thought the world of both Stella and Ed. I’m very sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. God Bless.

I wanted to just let you know how much my husband and I both cared about your father. We were the last landlords he would have had when he lived in the efficiency on Amosite Road. We were working up there all last year on the apartment which was right next to his, and while Mike was working, I would sneak over and visit with your dad. He told me about the movies he was watching, the books he was reading. We would also talk about our faith. He always offered me a soda or an iced tea. We had fun visiting, although it was sometimes hard for him to understand me!
He would also come over to the apartment we were working on to check out our progress. Then last September, he came over to let us know that he would be moving. We were all sad, but knew it was the best thing because of the steps.
I loved your dad, and I am really happy that he is celebrating in the arms of his precious savior.

It was nice to have known your father, and to help him live w/you for as short as it was. May you find peace and comfort in God’s love and care, as you seek His will.
Sincerely
Jay and Alice
