My sincere and deepest condolences to you Brother Dale. May God grant you peace during your time of bereavement

I am praying for the family.

Dearest Dale and the Benton family my prayers are with you. I enjoyed working with Ruth in the choir for so many years. She will always be in our hearts. May The Lord give you His Peace during today and days to come. With everlasting love, Renee and Deacon Graham

Beautiful Person whom I had the pleasure of working with at the Genesis Center

Thinking of you Dale as you lay your mom to rest. I wish I would have known her better as she sounds like she was a lovely lady and very interesting. You were the best a son could be in taking care of her every need in her later years and your mind should be at ease now knowing she is with Jesus. May God Bless her now and forever.

Nelson & family,

Your sister's at peace. Think of the good times and smile. For comfort read Ecclesiastes 3:1-15,17,19,20,22. May The Creator bring you peace during this time.

To Dale & Extended Family:

I was saddened to learn of the death of Mrs. Benton. She and her husband Roosevelt were the very best of neighbors to my parents when they moved next door over 40 years ago. She and my mother were very close friends. Dale and Derrick were like brothers from another mother to my brothers.

May you all find some measure of comfort in this hour of bereavement, from all our prayers and support. She will be sorely missed.
