My sweet Aunt Ben...You will forever be missed. I will miss your smile, your warmth, and your hugs. I can't wait to see you again one day. I am thankful that God blessed me with you...
You are all in my thoughts and prayers,
So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the words spoken at Revelation 21:3,4
(3) "With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. (4)
And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away".
We are so sorry to hear about Aunt Ben. She was a wonderful person and will be sorely missed. We will keep you in our prayers.
So very sorry. Always loved running into her and her sweet sister. They were always ready to talk. You are all in my prayers. Shawn and Jeannie Casto
I am so sorry for your loss. Betty was a very special lady.
Our thoughts and prayers are with George and Betty and the rest of the family at this time.
