I was pleased and honored to have provided care for Mr. Marshall at Canterbury Health Facility. He became my Daddy Dent. Every time I walked passed him he would say Come here daughter. I would have tears in my eyes just to be called his daughter. After loosing my Father. Thank you JESUS for The Life Love and Caring that he shared. I always enjoyed singing gospel songs with him. Or helping assist him with reading his Bible. To his family I Pray comfort an strength upon you all. Much Love Debbie Sherrod. Healthcare Provider.

I have enjoyed Worshiping with Mr. Dent for many years at the nursing home on Wednesday's. He always prayed before I would bring the Bible Study. He love His church and remembered them in his prayers. It was an honor to give him a giant print Bible that he could read and study. I love to hear him sing. He was my Brother in Christ.
