My condolences to the family. Rae will be in my prayers -- Rev. Gary Copping.
Madison and Alex Bennett are here to ask to be given the courtesy of allowing our pictures that we've posted twice in memory of our Grammie just the same as the the rest of our nieces.. no matter what goes on she is our Grandmother and deleting our pictures twice is tainting her and not honoring her in anyway. Please allow us the right to share our photos as well.. Thank you.
Dear Grammie, I so wish I had been able to share secrets and build a close relationship with you over the years.. I missed out on so much and I've always known that. You were blessed to have Arleen take such wonderful care of you and she was lucky to have such a special bond with you and Grandpa.. yes I did envy that, but Randy is and was always very grateful to her for all she's done for you and Grandpa...
I am so deeply saddened to hear of your passing. I'm still so very sad for many reasons. I take comfort in the fact that you are finally back with Grandpa and I know you missed him so much these last years..Now he's the lucky one! I hope you both are smiling and are blissfully happy once again...
Since Alex is the only Grandson of Grandpa and you.. he's promised to carry on the Bennett name that he is so very proud of and to let future generations of Bennett's be his legacy he passes on for you both.. Both Alex and Madison have said their children will indeed know their heritage and you are a huge part of it. My kids, especially Alex longed for an 'extended family'.. so whenever we'd be invited to the Bennett "Compound" (as Melissa calls it ) he was so happy! He'll remember those times with love...
I'll take care of Randy... He loves you. We all do. I don't think I've even shared this with you, but I am a *writer* for a living.. kind of funny since it pays next to nothing.. but I wrote this for you Grammie...
And now she soars,
Where fireflies glow,
and thunder whispers,
to the couple dancing
where darkness hides
and sunrises are painted.
Far above the white blankness,
they left behind-
and once again
they now giggle,
while tickling candles in the sky.
With heavy hearts...Randy, Robin, Alex and Madison Bennett.. xoxo
