To the Bennett family,
I remember vividly the day I met Mr & Mrs Bennett in the late 90's. The situation in which we met was not great, but we made the best of it. Mrs Bennett was such a lady, beautiful inside and out. Mr Bennett just asked me to take great care of his wife, which I believe I did to the best of my ability. In getting to know you both, I found that that Alfred Jr and I attended the same school. How I enjoyed our conversations. Mr Bennett, just from what Mrs Bennett shared with me about you, I can truly say that while she is in heaven now rejoicing, and free, you can have solace in knowing that, from her words, " that man has been good to me", you to one day will share her rich reward. She is gone from her earthly body, but not forgotten, because of the memories, you and your family have to cherish. I still share with my colleagues, the time that you covered my tab @ Skilligalee. My heartfelt prayers and sympathy go out to you and yours during this time. Know that God is the ultimate healer, and lean on Him.

Mr. Bennett,
Please know that you and your family are in our prayers at this difficult time. We will always cherish you both as you rented us our very first apt. The way it all came together was miraculous all in itself, because Mrs. Bennett was working at the bank & I here. And we were actually working with one another and didn't know it until the day we signed the lease. As that shows us the world is too small to go around it without acknowleding the goodness of some people with in it. And I must truly say you two were two of the most beautiful people anyone would want to meet. There is so much more I could say, but for now, do know that God has brought you to this and he will certainly take you through this and at the end of the journey you know in your mind and in your heart that you had the best wife, mother, friend that anyman could ask for. God Bless you all. We will be in touch.

To Bennett and family, on behalf of the Whitaker family, I extend sincere condolences in the passing of your mother. We have all grown to love you over the years because of your friendship with Clif. Therefore, we also love your family. It was only a few weeks ago that Clif called me as he was leaving the hospital having visited your mom. He kept us posted on her progress. He even had our church family praying for your mom. We shall continue to keep the family in prayer throughout this difficult time. Should you need us for anything and I mean anything, please do not hesitate to call. We love you!
