Read MoreOn my first day of working in the library, in my first week of school at Bellarmine, Mrs. Benson welcomed me with the warmest and most reassuring smile.
Thank you, Mrs. Benson, for making this scared little freshman feel a bit of pride in my work, a feeling of belonging, and sense of dignity.
My heart goes out to you, Mr. Benson.

To the family of Mrs. Benson,
I was very sorry to hear about the passing of Mrs. Benson. I had spent a lot of time in the library during my time at Bellarmine and had come to greatly appreciate her kindness and warmth. I can't imagine the library back there without her presence. I am so very sorry for your loss.

Coach Benson,
I am deeply saddened to hear of you and your young family's loss. Words do not quite do justice to how important Mrs. Benson was to my success at Bellarmine. It was always great to see her smiling face during 3rd period my freshman and sophomore year! She was always there to engage in a friendly conversation as well, even if it was just a friendly hello because I had to run off to class. I will never forget how grateful I was for her help with my research paper...

Coach Benson,
My deepest condolences... I still remember the big bear hugs Mrs. B gave me when I graduated and when I came back to visit. It was as if she'd been my teacher for four years. She was amazingly kind and caring... My thoughts are with you and Cael.
