1 May 2020Prayers and condolences to all of Quentin’s family. I did not know Quentin but he sounds like a loving, compassionate young man. We don’t always know why God takes those who are gentle, kind, loving human beings, but we just have to assume that he needed Quentin more than others did. May God bless all of the family as they adjust to life without him.
