I am so sorry about the passing of Bennie, as I was not around her a lot what few times I was I remember how kind and beautiful woman she was. She always made it clear to all how much she loved her family. Please know our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Ralph and Donna Waldron
Mother always said that Bennie was one of the happiest people she knew because she had so much love in her life. She loved Ernie and her kids, and that was all she needed to make her happy. When I think of Bennie, I remember her with a smile and twinkle in her eyes. She was a good friend and neighbor for my mother, Nora Habben. I know her warmth and love will be missed by her family. May God bless you all.
