Ms. Alma and family members of Mr. Benny, please know that my prayers and thoughts are with you during your hours of bereavement. I knew Mr. Benny as a resident of the Lynmore Estates Neighborhood when I became a volunteer. I enjoyed many conversations with Mr. Benny and Ms Alma. Mr. Benny was always willing to assist and loved sharing his knowledge on different levels. May your precious memories sustain you as you remember him for who he was. I will never forget Mr. Benny. Take your rest Mr. Benny, I as a Neighborhood Volunteer, loved you, but our God loved you best.
