Debbie, Lucas, and Lana and family:
I could not believe my eyes when I read the obit for Benny. My heart is very sad
for all of you. Years back, I always enjoyed meeting him in stores, at the
restaurant, and around town. He always had a smile and a good handshake.
My family will be praying for youall. God Bless all of you.
