Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. I will always love you and remember all the times you were there for me when I was a kid. Losing you was and is a big lost. I will miss you. char

  2. Ang God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. Revelation 21:4 I am so sorry for your loss. The world lost a wonderful woman. I am Freda Riggs and Frank Hans’s granddaughter. I used to go with them to visit Jean and Sam when I was young. She was a very nice lady with a heart of gold. The world will miss her. Kristy Spencer

  3. Dear Bennett Family, We were so sorry to hear about Jean’s death. I will always remember staying at Grandma Lou’s and Jean would come over and visit. She would spend hours sitting at grandma’s kitchen table and talk and joke and laugh with my family. I can see Jean and Grandma having a great reunion in heaven, I bet they still haven’t stopped talking yet!!! Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Love, The Stoneking Family

  4. I have many happy memories of times I spend with the Bennett family when I was a child. Mrs. Bennett treated me very well (like one of her own)and took good care of her family. May she rest in peace.

  5. Mom I miss you so much! You were my best friend and I miss our long talks at the kitchen table:( You gave me strength and guidance to get through life.
