Jeanette "Bunny" Benton

You gave so much to so many, unconditionally every day from your heart. Your eyes, your smile, your wisdom will be deeply missed by so many.

Jeanette I will always remember how you would always greet me with that big beautiful smile.You will forever be in my heart,and will be missed very much.

Dearest Jaimey----The kids and I were still on vacation when my husband called to tell me of your mom's passing. I am so sorry to hear of you and your family's loss. I will miss seeing those pretty eyes of her's and her beautiful smile. Stay strong and lean on Jehovah during this difficult time.

So many called you Mom. Many loved you having never met you, simply because of knowing your children. All of your good qualities shone through when most needed. You taught us generosity, empathy, courage and faith, just to name a few. Too many more to list right now, but everyone knows... The words "legacy" and "legend" will be brought up often when others speak of you. A true matriarch, generations of families know of Sister Benton, and those eyes. Those eyes... Eyes that pierce right...

Although I met Jeanette years ago, I didn't really get to know her until March, 2005. We worked early mornings together and consequently went to lunch several times. It was during that time that she shared some of her life stories with me; a life that was full of courage, adventure, and reliance on Jehovah.

Her encouraging words will ever be alive in my heart. I will never forget her.

My deepest condolences to the family.

I met this very nice lady and was taken by her uplifting personality. We had so much in common: both of us born and raised in Philadelphia, Pa. Jeanette is now in a beautiful place of eternal peace and happiness.

The other night there was a beautiful, dramatic sunset. You know Mom, like the ones I used to call you to share with me when I was away. Or the mornings when the sunrise was so inspiring, you knew the day was going to be wonderful no matter what happened. When I saw that sunset, I realized I could not call you, but the warm feeling it gave me reminded me of when you were here with me. Those feelings will never go away, just like my love and thoughts of you will never perish. I love you...

I never got to meet you but I heard such wonderful things about you from your beautiful daughter Jaimey. May you sleep on silverlined clouds and may you fly with the angels and sprinkle drops of love like raindrops from the heavens. You will never be forgotten as you were such a strong presence while you were here. :o)
