Oh no! I just saw a reference to keeping the Benoit's in our prayers on Robin Bourg's FB post! I pulled up the obits and found this- I'm so sorry -I'm so sad to have missed the services -my memories of Jr are that he was kind-gentle-with a mischievous glint in his eyes- as a child mom and I spent a lot of time at the Benoit house with our cousins- I can still hear Miss Blackie saying Awh Junior when she wanted him to do something for her or when he had said or done something to make her...

Junior was one of my younger cousins (6 years). I still have very clear memories of him when he was just a toddler. The age when he, like most kids are not only lovable, but also very happy and curious. Remarkably Junior was one of the few that was able to keep these traits throughout his life.
Marilyn,Stacey, and Scott and your entire family remain in our prayers.

Melvin Jr is one of my first cousins and will be greatly missed. When we were younger the families were close but yrs changed all that as we got older and life got busy. But there was always that bond we all had as kids. Jr was such a kind soul. I never see Jr angry or ever use bad language. That just wasn't him. Cousin, even though you will be missed we rejoice that you are going to our real home where you have no more health issues or pain. The family is in my prayers.
