Not sure what to say?

I remember Mrs. Benedict as warm, caring person from yrs ago in junior high when I was a friend of Beverly's at Robinson. My condolences

In loving memory of a special person. Our time together was very special to me.
You will always be in our hearts and minds.

Psalm 90:10 says that the days of our years are 70 years, And if because of special mightiness they are 80 years.
May the memories of the wonderful times you shared together bring a smile and joy in your heart.

We had such good times over on North Crestway. One of the best was Bryce's retirement party. We had other block parties and they always came. When they moved we were still in walking distance. I always made sure I delivered Christmas cookies and my newsletter in December. It was always fun to catch up. I will miss doing that this year and in years to come. Thanks Beverly for sharing your mom and dad with us.

Beverly, your parents were great friends of our (Robert, Jennifer, Marilyn & Rosemary) parents, Arch and Ann Trembly. My husband, Bob, and I took Mother by to see your parents on a visit we made to see Mother's brother. Mother (we too) did enjoy seeing them one last time. How thankful we are for those beautiful memories, mostly in photos!

Thelma was a dear friend to my parents, Jim and Glenna Schlosser. Together with her husband Bryce, the Chanute natives enjoyed many wonderful times, including, attending WSU basketball games and eating in restaurants in Wichita. Thelma was a delight great conversationalist. We will miss her! Dr. Mary Dickerson and Kendall Leer, Washington, DC.
