Condolences | | Post Condolence | | Robbie M Brown, South Carolina | | Dear Carlotta and family, I was so shocked to read about Benny's death this morning. It has been a while since I have seen either of you, and I know that we lost touch. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I have such fond memories of Benny. May God give you the strength you need in the days ahead. I pray that your good memories of Benny will sustain you until you see him again in Glory. He is rejoicing with Jesus. He is truly in a better place than we are. God bless you all. | | |
