Family Life
While in Hawaii, Dr. Lentz and his wife, Leslie, were happy to welcome their first baby, Hensley Marie. She’s incredibly cute and growing quickly. They have had four more children: Heston, Hollis, and twins Hudson and Hunter. They’ve decided they’re done having kids. After Dr. Lentz finished his service in the Navy, the family searched for a wonderful community near a big city and a lake. They found the perfect spot at Lake Lanier and Hamilton Mill in Northeast Atlanta.
