    Danny and I extend our love, prayers and condolences to Uncle Quentins family!!! I have many fond memories of time spent with the Sorenson cousins as a child. I will cherish the memories and will be lifting all of you in prayers for comfort and understanding! Danny and I wish we could come out. He had back surgery 10-28-20, so it will be awhile before we can travel. Truly Uncle Quentin’s legacy lives on in the lives of his family!!! “Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.” Matthew 5:4. May God comfort all of you! With ❤️ love, Carolyne (Jans) and Danny Brooks

    Lucille and all the family, I’m so sorry for the loss of Quintin. It is not easy. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult time. I thought I left a message when I looked at it on my tablet, but it didn’t show on the computer. Maybe you got two messages. Prayers to you all.
