If faith, kindness and humility are saintly virtues, then Brent was indeed a contemporary saint. Generations of Anglicans throughout the Diocese of Christchurch have been upheld by Brent's lifelong generosity, biblical wisdom and financial acumen. Weep if you must, Judith; but know in your heart that your entire married life has been blessed by best of men.
