Dolly, Lil Rich and Family,
My prayers are with you now and they will continue to go forth in your behalf. Big Rich was an amazing person and a great friend. I won't forget him calling me on my birthday and singing I just called to say I love you. He went out of his way to show love. God has truly received another angel. Love you all

To the Benson family, on my first day attending Hosack you treated me and my son like family. Mrs. Dolly and Deacon Benson calling me their daughter, Richard Benson calling me sis and the girls wanting to hang out with me.
He will be truly missed and I will continue too pray for the family. He is singing his song with the angels.
Love you all
