Dear Carolyn, and all the others in John's Loving and Caring family. John will surely be missed by all, but he will never be forgotten by any. Our family cherishes all of the years we were neighbors and the friendships that were formed. When your family moved away things have never been the same. John and your family were always helpful and kind to our family and all of the other neighbors as well. We were blessed by having known John and all of Yours. We all know that John has fought some very difficult battles with his health, in the past years, but he held on to the LORD'S hand and followed him at all times, all the way to HEAVEN. John's at his new home now and is RESTING IN PEACE.Our family's thoughts and prayers are with you, and for all of the Benson family at this time.God Bless all of you. We are so thankful that Edna Mae and Greg are our neighbors now. We still have some Benson's in the neighborhood.Ed, Carolyn and all of our family."SOMETIMES WE WATCH THE DAYS GO BY, WISHING THEY WOULD LAST, AND WE CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER, WHY TIME MUST FLY SO FAST. bUT, WE CAN KEEP IN MEMORY, OUR HAPPY MOMENTS LEFT BEHIND, AND WE CAN KEEP OUT SPECIAL DREAMS OF JOYS WE HOPE TO FIND."##imported-begin##ED AND CAROLYN NEW AND FAMILY##imported-end##
