I can truly say that Ms. Bennett showed Christian character in all parts of her life and it continues in her children. From the time I met all of you it was a blessing. I can reach back and remember the good times at New Zion. She will be missed, but will live on in each of you.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life’s routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. Jesus knows and cares about the pain you feel.
“Jesus gave way to tears.” – John 11:35 When his dear friend Lazarus died he showed his emotions. So He knows how to comfort us during our time of grief.

God took another soldier home when he called my friend Geraldine home. She will be surely missed by many because she deliberately touched many. Life will not be easy for the family and friends, but knowing that she is resting in a better place, gives comfort. To God be the glory for the things he has done....Trust and believe. She certainly did life her way, the best way.

You and your family are in my prayers. Look to the hills from whence cometh your help. Know that Mama B is in a better place where no more pain is racking her body. Cancer was just a means of her getting to be home with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Its well. She lived her life for this moment. Let the memories comfort you during ur loss.
Love you always,

My thoughts and prayers are with each of you as you mourn the passing of this fine Christian lady. As former residents of Houma and church family members at NZBC, we always shared a "special bond" whenever we saw each other. I know that she is at rest in His bosom.
