Nothing but good memories when I think about Denise. We had a great time working together on the 5th floor decarbonizing at Conrail. She was always happy and funny and Frank and Denise were perfect for each other. I am sure she is resting in peace.

Jim and I were so sorry to hear about Denise. We did not realize that she was sick. I have so many sweet memories of Denise and our time at St. Francis. Especially how she was with Stephen and all of Frankie's friends, what a great Mom!!! I am so glad we got together at Thanksgiving a few years ago, it was just like old times. Frank, Frankie, and Kim, you have been in our thoughts and prayers...

I have never had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Benton but I am a friend of her son, Frank, in West Palm Beach.
Concern for his mother's health has preoccupied Frank for quite some time. Her death is difficult because the world is suddenly a very different place without her.
My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Benton Family and my wish for each of you is that you find comfort and healing in the many pleasant and loving memories of happier and healthier times as a family. God be with each one of you.-JFL
