The memories of Nancy and Daniel Benoit will forever exist in our hearts and souls for all eternity. I would like to send my best wishes to the families of Daniel Benoit and Nancy Benoit. Understand that through this tragedy we have discovered each other and by discovering each other we have formed an unbreakable bond and strengthened our spiritual selves.

If anything positive can come out of this tragedy, at least rest a little easier knowing that legions of good hearted people feel the pain that this tragedy has caused and in sharing the pain and sorrow have discovered new avenues to open up discussions to avoid further tragedies.

My sincerest condolences to both the Toffoloni and Benoit families.

Angels Watching Over Me

Have you ever wondered, what makes the rustling sound in trees?
My friend, it is the motion from the Angel's wings.
I sit on my sundeck and close my eyes,
Listen! I hear Angel's lullabyes.

Have you ever wondered why rain falls from the sky?
My friend, I tell you, it's tears from angel's eyes,
When alas, their human dies.

Not tears of sorrow, but tears of joy,
Free from sorrow, free from pain,
Time to rejoice, the Angel did proclaim,
"Now, my human is with their Lord!"
To walk the Heavens in perfect form.

July 17, 2007

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
God Bless

I am so sorry for your losses. At least, Mother and son are together forever. Nobody can touch that. I recently lost my mother and I miss her tremendously each and every day. Thank God, I have my little girl to see the light and happiness everyday. May you be blessed with many lively memories of Nancy and Daniel. Their spirit will live on. My mom always told me that Love never dies and it never fails. That is the absolute truth. May you find the courage and strength to carry on. Your Family is in my prayers. God Bless, Vanessa, Piper, and Chris Selig

To the families of Nancy and Daniel Benoit, my deepest condolences on this tragic event in your lives. I watched Nancy when she was in WCW as Woman and I thank her for all the years of entertainment she brought. I'm sure she took her share of lumps and bruises but she did it because she loved wrestling. Then she met Chris and retired and had Daniel. What has happened is tragic and heart breaking and I cannot imagine the pain all of you are going through. I offer my prayers, my thoughts and condolences to you all. May somehow, at some time, down the line in the future, you all find some peace. The world, not just the wrestling world, but the entire world is a little less without Nancy and Daniel. God bless you all.

RIP Nancy and Daniel, you will never be forgotten. Special thanks to Nancy for her years entertaining us wrestling fans. She was truly one of the greatest managers in the business and inspired so many. You will be missed. Condolences to the Toffoloni family during this trying time.

To the families of Nancy and Daniel: You have had my sincerest sympathy and prayers since this began. I pray for mom and son and although what happened to them was terrible, they are both happy and together with God and family members who have passed on before them. I also would like to say that I so greatly appreciate you having this guestbook for these TWO dearly departed souls--they need to be respected and honored for their own positive marks they left on the world.

My condolences to both families. Nancy did something for me that I will never forget and to this day I will always remember. She was my friend and big sister whenever I needed her. I know she can't read this but I want her family to know that she meant the world to me in ways you'll never know and I'd be glad to share but remember when god closes one door he opens another. Also, never forget those two precious children left behind as they meant something to her. Thank you Nancy for everything I love you sis!

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

To The Toffoloni Family, I had the privilege of meeting Nancy in New York in 1992 at the Weekend of Champions 3 (run by John Arezzi) and l said to Nancy if you dont mind me saying so "photographs dont you justice" you are the most attractive woman l have ever met in my life and ever likely too, and told her that l had especially come from Melbourne, Australia to try to me her which l did and have more than a dozen pictures of her in my appartment so Nancy l will never forget you as long as l live as you will always be in my heart and my prayers. My deepest go to the family at this very sad time. From Sue Parsons (nee Chuter)

I followed this sad story with the interest of a stranger. Only last night did I realize when I read in the obituary that Nancy was related to Sandra, a classmate of mine in junior high and high school.

Sandra, I'm so sorry to know that this tragedy has come to your family, and you have my thoughts and prayers.

My sincerest condolences to the families of Nancy, Daniel and Chris. I grew up being a huge Chris Benoit fan. I was also a huge Nancy fan when she was in the WCW as Woman. I thought she was one of the most beautiful women to ever be in professional wrestling. Daniel was taken way too young. He will also be sorely missed, but not forgotten. May their souls be at peace now.

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

My deepest sympathy to the extended family of Chris Benoit. I am sorry to hear that you have lost a son a grandson and a daughter-in-law. With this entry is the sympathy of my entire family. We hope that you will eventually get over this ordeal, but with time some scars will heal while others remain. You will be in my prayers.

Our deepest and most sincere sympathies are with your family at this time. My husband worked with Chris and Nancy when they were in WCW and they were in our home. They were wonderful and we loved them dearly. Nancy was pregnant with Daniel when they came to my son's birthday party. They were so cute together and so excited about the baby. We know you are grieving as we are and you will be in our prayers as will Chris's family. Rick, Pam, Steve and Katie Lassiter, Bluff City, TN.

To the families involved in this tragedy, my prayer is that you receive the love, comfort and peace of our precious Lord to sustain you through this. Answers may never be forthcoming until HIS return; remember the good times and the good things; and the love that came from Nancy and Daniel to all who knew them. God promised us that good comes from all things. My prayers and thoughts are with everyone.
