I am relieved that Louise is free from her suffering. I am sad and I grieve that I have lost a good, long time friend

Grandma Benson touched our lives in many ways. It's our hope that Grandma has been happily reunited with departed family & friends. We can imagine the stories which are being exchanged. We send our thoughts and prayers to everyone who knew and loved her. She will be missed.

Louise's spirit of courage and compassion lives on in her daughter Elizabeth Anne. Both she and Elizabeth knew this. What a great comfort to both of them and what a fantastic gift to give to each other.

Dear Bob and Family, I'm so glad we had the opportunity to meet your Mom (and her sister) when you visited North Carolina. Your Mother was obviously an inspiration to Kathy, and very, very talented in many ways (when we visited Kathy and Mic, Kathy showed us a genealogical chart your Mother had made .. it was truly extraordinary) I'm very sorry that her last years were not so good because of her health (I'm afraid that's also how it is for my Mother), but I'm glad she had her family to look after her and love her. Love to all.
How you can show support

There's a hole in my heart that can't be fixed. My Mother was an extraordinary example, a Christian, and a friend. I had her for seventy years, and am better for it. I'm happy that she and my Father are together. I loved her.

Dear Betty and family, A note of sympathy at this time of loss. Whenever I visited your house during our high school years, there was a sense of welcome and warmth, allowing me to have fond memories of your Mom all these many years later.
Please let me know if you will be in Syracuse for services, perhaps we could have a visit. (h. 607-722-9130 or email)
With sincere sympathy, Bonnie

My Dearest, Mrs. Benson, My second grade Teacher, I never did foreget you, all through these years gone.
You took me under your arms, and helped me through my times of
need, at the age of seven.
New to Mattydale, and Riordan School in November of 1963 that Monday, the week end after the Assignation of
J.F.K. I was your new student that year to your second grade class.
Now you know, why I never would fore get such a wonderful Teacher.
I also resided around the corner near Westwood Park, I remember, I would stop to say hello when ever I would ride my bike past your house, if you happened to be out side.
Mrs. B. I will always carry you close to my Heart, next to my Mom and Sister and Family member's who have past.
I'm so sorry, for the loss of your
Mother, Grandma, Friend, and Relative,
please except my Sympathy at this
time of your loss, and sadness.
My God Bless, Your Soul Mrs. Benson
for ever and ever, Amen.
I will light this candle in your Name.
"Sleep Well, Sweet Dream's,
Good Night....Mrs. B"

Although no words of sympathy
Can ease the loss you bear,
Still may you find
some comfort
In the thought
That others care.
