Today marks 29 years that Brent was senselessly taken from us…his family, friends, co-workers and neighbors. Although we miss him as much today as ever, we are encouraged by the continued support and encouragement by so many wonderful people. We have been and continue to be truly humbled by the many who have taken a moment here to share their remembrance of Brent and offer prayers to comfort our family.
On behalf of the entire Lumley family, thank you!
