To my dear friend Quent! I miss you already! I’m going to miss our late nights, blasting the stereo to the tunes we’ve heard forever. Still enjoying them like they’re still #1 on the music charts. Lmao! I’m going to miss our talks, walking around all the different lakes we enjoyed. Country cruising and antiquing. Last but not least I’m going to miss your smile. You are something special. When you smiled, you had the ability to brighten up any room. You smiled from the heart. I’m going to miss you dearly! Quentin Vanzant! Goodbye my dear friend! Until we meet again! Love you forever!
