July 5, 2021 at 8:00 pmWe were saddened to hear about Bentrell’s unexpected passing. We know there are no words that can help the devastation you must feel, and even though we can’t be there for his service, we are sending healing prayers and comforting hugs. We know this must be a very difficult and demanding time for all so if there is anything we can do please just let us know. Bentrell will always be with us in the memories we keep, the stories the family tells, the laughter we share, and the love we all hold for him. May those good things help heal the hurt in time.
