My love for you was a treasure, but your love from God was stronger he wanted you near Him. No more hard aches and pain on this earth. You have taken your set with the Master. Hold me a set. I love you Mrs Benner.

Mrs. Benner would bring a smile to anyones day. She kept up with my work and school schedule and was interested in my life outside of work. She was a sweet person.
