Mamma, you've been my absolute best friend for the last10 years. I cherish how many things we did and how many loving conversations we had. I love that we were all able to spend your last Christmas together and I know how important that was to you. I still see a sale at Safeway or a new Netflix documentary that's coming out and want to immediately call you.

For the little time that I knew you Mrs. Benson it was such a pleasure. Your kindness along with your sweet spirit was such a joy. You will be truly missed.

I offer condolences to Nikki's family and friends. She was the wife of the late Dr. Samuel Benson, from Perla, Arkansas. She proudly served on the Henson-Benson Foundation Board. The Foundation was founded by Dr. Benson. I was introduced to Nikki when she attended the 2012 reunion of the former Malvern 'Colored' schools with her husband. I am attaching a 2012 picture of them. Your family is in my prayers. She will be greatly missed. Marion Gibson, Board President Henson Benson...

Mamma, if think about you every hour of every day. Can you hear me talking to you? The sun has gone down for me right now and I miss you so much. Our daily phone calls have been such an ingrained thing that I still want to call you when I see or hear something that we would have talked about. It's a confusing and painful time for all of us that love you. We will all miss you deeply. You are still my best friend.

What a delightful gal she was! I really appreciated her great sense of humor. Rest in peace!

I recently found a picture I took of Nikki and some other classmates. She was such a loving, caring person who will be forever missed.

Sending my love and support to your family. Nikki and I were school friends in same graduating class. We helped each other as new moms and I have such fond memories of her.
