Please accept my sympathy in the loss of your loved one. Bennie and I enjoyed many conversations at work, and I certainly will miss him.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all now and in the days ahead.
I thank God for the positive impact you and Bennie made on my sons life. I can never repay you or "thank you" enough.
Remember, "earth hath no sorrow that heaven can't heal"

I remember when you all first came to New Orleans, we have been friends since then Lydia, what a great loss. You were in love, you were best friends, I could go on but all who knew you knew how and what you were to each other. To you and all your children, you loved him but God loved him best. Just remember all the good things you shared. I love you all and you will always be in my prayers. Gennie

Bennie:

Today as usual, you are the first person I am writing.

I miss you. Words cannot explain the void in my heart. Our talks, laughs and don't forget our "Fusses". Of course, I was fussing with you yesterday because I needed to use the markers and they were in your office.

I found the pen -Thanks!

I hope and pray you have found rest. You never failed to tell me "Love ya V", well today I say "Love ya Bennie".
