Dear Bennett Family, I was sad to hear of your mother's passing. Spent many a day at the family house during the summer- my mom always new where to find me if I wasn't home, I was there. Christmas time was not the same without "Mrs. Bennett's tray of candy's and cookies." Had to fight off the siblings to get what ones I loved the most!! .. Late summer meant going through the SEARS Catalog to pick out school clothes with you all to order, and the TOY catalog how'd we would DOG EAR the pages as to what we wanted Santa to bring for us.. Your mother was a big part of my childhood. Just wanted you all to know that. I know this is a very difficult time for you all, may the special memories you share about her bring you comfort..
