Barbara Bennett

Mr. Bennett, Wendy and Rick,
She loved God, she loved you, she loved our flag, she wanted Irving to be clean, and she gave unselfishly to others. What a great loss to all of us. Our family will always cherish the beautiful blue blanket she made for dad, and I'll never forget her smile the day she coaxed me to eat rattlesnake soup when I was 15 years old. Thanks for sharing her with us! My prayers to God to comfort you during this sad time. All my love, Kathy and all the Koller Family

Wendy, I was saddened to her about the loss of your Mom. She and your Dad were always so nice to me. Fond memories of rides to the ranch with hot apple pies and french fries in that station wagon still make me smile. God Bless you and your family in this difficult time.

My friendship with Barbara and her family began when we were 5 years old in Kansas City, Missouri. It blossomed when she married Don and had a family of her own. A true friend I shall always remember. My sincere sympathy goes to the family. How I wish i could be there to celebrate her life.

To Don and family, my deepest condolences for your loss. My heart breaks for you, and I hope you soon feel comforted knowing that Barbara is in a better place.

To the Bennett family,
I am stunned and saddened by Barbara's passing. She was always so gracious and had the most delightful sense of humor!

I took over as treasurer for DAPS when she gave those responsibilities up. We had a wonderful and warm relationship over the years and I will miss her e-mails so!
