To the Bennett Family,
My love, thoughts and prayers go out to you. I am happy to have known Mr. Bennett and am even happier that he is in a better place right now. I can remember when he took Kesha, Tanya, my mom and I to Captain Georgia's in Williamsburg just for the fun of it....that's the kind of man he was. He treated me like I was his daughter too! I will always have great memories of him!
Love,
Dana Warren

Dear Gloria, Buck, and Pat,
Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. I thought about the last time we had a family reunion and Junie came. He prayed the most beautiful prayer for our family. His prayer touched so many people that day. I know that you are hurting right now, but in time God will ease the pain you are feeling. Cherish the wonderful memories you shared with Junie and know that God has promised us another family reunion someday soon. What a day that will be! Sincerely,
Muff and Jr.

To the Family,
My deepest heartfelt condolences on the loss of Eddie. He was a very kind, generous and gentle christian man. He allowed his faith to sustain him through all of life's ups and downs and gladly shared the grace and mercy of God as the triumphant King of his soul.
He was always there with a smile and a word of encouragement. He will be deeply missed but his spirit will live on in the hearts and memory of all his family and friends.
May God's grace, mercy and peace sustain you through this time of sorrow and bring great joy to your memories as time goes on.

To the Family,
You have my sincere condolences on the loss of your father, brother and uncle. I too loss my spiritual brother, advisor and friend - but I have so many memories to look back on.
Bennett was the kind of person that people wanted to be around. He told you that salvation was not just a reward for the good things we did – you can’t earn your way to heaven…it’s a gift. The Bible says: “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.
Take comfort in knowing that God has not promised sun without rain, joy without sorrow and peace without pain. But God has promised us strength for the day, rest for the weary, light for the way, grace for the trials, help from above, unfailing sympathy and undying love.
May you be encouraged with the words of God, which states, “To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.”

To the Bennett family-I am particularly blessed to have known the Bennett family by way of Gloria Moore, my co-worker. If Mr. Eddie Bennett was anything like his family, I know he was a great father, brother, uncle, grandfather to his family. He has such a caring family and my prayers go out to the family. May God bless and keep you all.

To The Bennett Family:
"Weeping endures for a night, but joy comes in the morning." Brother Eddie Bennett was a disciple of Jesus Christ. He loved his family and most of all, he loved his God. Certainly, he was a dear friend of mine. His children will rise up and call him BLESSED. I love the entire family and my prayers will always be with you all.
God Bless and keep you.

I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of your brother Deacon Bennett: my heart goes out to you and your family. Deacon Bennett fought a good fight and he finish his course. Just wanted you to know that I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
"Let not your heart be troubled ye believe in God also believe in Me". And on June 7th God had prepared his room and he called him home.
"Keep the faith and know that your help cometh from the Lord.
