Dear Martha and family:

Please accept my condolences. I am so sorry that I will not be able to be with you on Friday. Today we were hiking on the south side of St. John and came upon this cairn - it made me think of the tradition of leaving a stone for remembrance, so I put one on the top in your dad's memory.

You are in my prayers,

Family and Friends of Charles Bennett,

I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you find comfort during these difficult times. The Bible tells us in 2 Thessalonians 2:16 that God loves us and gives us "everlasting comfort." From this, we know that God will provide comfort for you.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.

God Bless you all in this time of loss. Mr. Bennett and I had some great talks and laughs in his later years. We maintained a relationship for a few years even when he went to Fla. He was a great man. I only wish I had known him longer. My condolences.
