To all Bennett family: There are few men who have touched my life with honesty, integrity and honor. Your father is one of them. He was always kind with me and always respectful. He loved his wife Loretta and his children and grandchildren. He did not run from responsibility when times in his life got tough...he handled the job like a real man and worked things out with his family. This is a quality of a REAL man and hard to find today!! These are qualities he has instilled in you Rodney!! I have nothing but respect for Emerson and know he is in a real special after-this-world place. Rodney...your father was very proud of you (and told me so on many occasions) and your mother is smiling down on you with joy at all you have accomplished (not just in work, but in life's personal accomplishments!) be proud of yourself...your father was so proud of you and Carolina (sometimes...you don't get to hear someone brag about you until they are gone!!!) GODSPEED TO EMERSON
