Knowing Benny & His family growing up in Roger's Project he was always a respectful & intelligent young man, I say to the family & friends though he may have taken wings & flew into the heavens, the many lives that he touched will miss him dearly, but we all must let him go freely so that he can R.I.P in the arms of the almighty & know that he is in the hands of his master who has a great plan for him in the HEAVENS. Prayers, thoughts & Love will always rest with the family. God Bless you all in this sad time & May God's peace rest upon each & everyone.

Benny! Where do I start???? When I recieved the call about your passing, I was speechless, the first thought that came to mind was a particular day i was standing in the kitchen eating your sliced chhes, you walked in the kitchen, scared me half to death and said"GIRL YOU BETTER NOT EAT ALL MY CHEESE". LOL!!!! Iwanted to say you know good and well auntie Shorty bought this cheese for both of us....... I remember you had the baddest JERRY CURL in Manatte County, I remember the chair in ya'll room that would spin by itself after Mrs. Green would leave from getting her jerry curl done, Momma and Auntie Shorty didn't believe us, hey, remember scrappy, boy that ORANGE CAR was like no other. LOL. I can go on and on about the GOOD times we all shared together. I told momma that you passed and she took it pretty hard, Jermaine doesn't know yet, so I'm going to visit him Sunday to let him know that you are HOME. Tell Auntie Shorty that we miss and love her dearly. Man I'm still in disbelief that your gone, but I have JOY when I think of where you are.......... Love you much! You will always be in our heart

Benny!!!! Where do I start??? I'm still in disbelief that your gone. I remember the sweet days when we were younger, boy did we have fun!!! You and Karlton were like the rich kids in the hood. Lol! When I recieved the call I immediately remembered the day i was in the kitchen eating your sliced cheese, you came round the corner and said "GIRL YOU BETTER NOT EAT ALL MY CHEESE". I was so scared.. Lol!! You know auntie Shorty use to buy that cheese for the both of us.. I remember you and Jermaine would make me go home like I was a Lil girl, but was 21. I remember the black leather chair in y'all room that use to spin by itself, And let's not forget you had the best jerry curl in manatee county. I can go on and on about the memories we all shared, GOOD MEMORIES!!! Momma took it pretty hard when I told her you passed, Jermaine doesn't know yet, but I'm gonna go visit him Sunday to let him know. I love you and will truely miss you. Tell Auntie Shorty hello!!

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.
