To The Family of (BENNY)

Yesterday is a cancelled check, tomorrow is a promissory note, today is cash on hand. Today is all you have, so why not make it the first day of the rest of your prosperous life. Seek the will of GOD, who wills nothing but the best for you, provides all that you need according to his riches in glory and he will give you shalom (peace) that passes all understanding.

PEACE AND BLESSINGS BE WITH
MAY YOU ALL FIND STRENGTH
THROUGH OUR LORD AND SAVIOR

I remember calling you " Peanuts Chew " and you use to hate that name but I guess it grew on you. You would always buy that particular candy from S and R for me being 7 years old I wasn't old enough to go on my own . I remember you, my brother,my sister and cousin you'll was so close that ya'll called yourselves FAMILY. You was always respectful to your elders ,playful and was always smiling. It wasn't your time to go but GOD needed you more than we did now your sleeping peacefully and the memories that I have will always stay with me.


Rest In Peace

You Will Greatly Be Missed
