Read MoreI think of Ms. Bennett very often with fond memories from my childhood. She was the mom that we all could count on to be supportive of whatever phase we were going through, always caring, patient and kind. Even reconnecting later she gave me her accepting unconditional friendship and love. I will always remember her and feel her kind heartedness smiling down on my life.
