To the Bennett/Clark Family
I am holding you close in thought and prayer during your time of bereavement. May God comfort you and walk with you through this time.
"Jesus said to her, 'I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me will live, even though he dies.'" John 11:25 NIV
The memories you have of your mother will bring you both comfort and joy in the days ahead. Hold them close to your heart. You will have good days and bad, but trust in God to see you through. Trish, thank you so much for being there for me during the passing of my father this past October. It was indeed a very trying time. Your friendship means a lot to me. So I am praying for you today with a grateful heart. Love always.

Sorry about your lost, here is just a few words of comfort that kept me going. When your heart is sad and lonely, and your family and friends seem far away. Turn to Him Who is all holy. And He'll drive your cares away. Keep your heads up and in Gods hands. I was sick this past week so I didn't get to come bye.

Warm Summer Sun

Warm summer sun,
Shine kindly here,
Warm southern wind,
Blow softly here.
Green sod above,
Lie light, lie light.
Good night, dear heart,
Good night, good night.

Remember

Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

Laughter and an abiding faith in God, a generous soul with an amazing ability to love - these are the things that will keep your mother alive in my memory. I will share some of those moments with you when you are ready. The God of your mother will keep you reminded of the legacy of your mother's smile in spite of the pain you bear today.

Love you, Shirley Brown Washington

Allow me to express my sincere
condolence at the loss of your
dear loved one.Words simply cannot
express the feelings we all go through when we no longer have
the physical presence of someone
we truly love in our lives.Mrs. Bennett was truly a dear friend, advisor, and the second mother
for a number of us.To have someone
other than your true mother, believe,
trust and instill in you the love that
only a mother would know to give, is
truly a blessing sent to anyone in this life. Please know that Ms. "Dot", was such a person. I will be forever greatful to GOD for her being a part of my life, and the uplifting of my spirit. She truly believed and encouraged me to continue to "Fight the good fight", during some of the darkest days of my life. Each and every one
of you are and will continue to be in my prayers.GOD bless....
