Lester, I  periodically check obituaries, when  I saw the last name of Benton and saw it was your mother I knew I should say something. Sorry to hear about the passing of your mother.

Rest in peace Aunt Catherine and our deepest sympathies to Uncle Lester, Margaret and Robb.  Our hearts are filled with sadness for your loss.   
Losing our mothers creates a void that cannot be filled by anyone else.  Our mothers have been such a blessing in our lives, and they will continue to bless us even now and in the future.  May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times with her as you celebrate a life well lived.   You are in our thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time.

Rest in peace Aunt Catherine. In a perfect world loved ones are always there for you, to care for you, love you, share with you, ease your pain. Aunt Cat had that in her family she so loved. God Bless the Benton family in their grief and peace in knowing it was a good life well loved.
