Sweet Beth so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my prayers.
I remember walking up over the hill going to visit both Mr and Mrs B…And playing outside in the yard for Years…
I have no idea where to start, sometimes in life a young man is fortunate enough not to have just one dad but to have two dads! Today I lost that second dad. I will cherish all the things I learned from him, I will carry him in my heart as I move forward in life, as I have since I came to know him. I truly have a lifetime of memories of him, Mrs B (my 2nd mom)and his children that I grew up with to look back on and comfort me. Mrs B, Robert, Chuck, Beth Ann know that I love you and your families and that you are in my thoughts and prayers ! Michael
I’m so sorry to hear this, Bennington family. Always have great memories of you kids growing up, and the countless hours we all spent together. Praying for comfort and strength for y’all.
Love and hugs!
