Prince Bennu as I called him was a light in my life. I'm comforted by the knowledge that Light never dies and he travels on.

When I spoke to you a few weeks ago, you told me you were at peace and ready for your transition. I never really believed it would happen just a few weeks later. You have a beautiful soul, and I know we will meet again! Rest well, my brother.

The time you lived with us in Asheville was very special. We cherish the oil painting we watched you create for Deryl and marvelled at the intricate painting of the lady with themassive braided hair. Special was the "Ben Trip" when you and I drove to DC to be wth my Dad for his WWII Memorial trip...Benford Davis ( Iam Bennu ), John Benjamin Poppa(me), Benjamin Poppa (Dad) and Benjamin Charles Poppa (my brother)..say hello to Dad for me.
