May God bless Brent's soul and lighten his wife and family's sorrow. I met him a few times at Robert Juris & Asso. My son Edvin Mertdogan introduced me to your son. He was a polite young man. My son was devastated with the news of Brent who was active as treasurer at the local chapter of the American Institute of Architects God knows what is in the store for each one of us. You should be sure that Brent is a better place than all of us. I extent to you all my sincer condolonces.

Dana,
I can't imagine the pain you are feeling. So many of us are mourning alongside you yet cannot understand how deep your loss is. God's Word says “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted" (Matthew 5:4). I pray for comfort and peace now and in the days to come.
Brent was always quick to lend a hand to anyone who asked for help. I will miss his sense of humor and his practicality. You complemented one another so well and your love for one another was unwavering and obvious to everyone who met you two.
