Dear Mrs. Benchley,
Sorry for your lost.
We truly sympathized with you and your family for the lost of your son Christopher. We know it is very difficult to cope with the lost of love ones, but it must be even more challenging when a Mother loses a child. We are praying that God may Comfort you and grant you Peace and Blessings Always, while you celebrate having Christopher in your lives.

Dear Wendy
My thoughts and sincere condolences are with you and your family at this difficult time. Your closeness to Chris is everlasting - even with his passing.
As a community resident, realize that all of us sympathize and care.
Wendy, I just want to add that I have always recalled how you and your late husband, Peter, hosted a very special dinner fundraiser at your home for Princeton Art Association. I relate this because memories live on!

May Chris' memory shine brightly in our hearts.

We can not begin to express our deepest sympathy and shock over this tragic event. Our Daughter Scarlett had been in Jamica shooting a bathingsuit line and spending time with Bobby Kennedy, Cheryl, and their family right before this tragic event. Everyone sends their regards and prayers.
