    Dear Aunt Dorothy, I was so saddened to hear about Uncle Harold, but I also know that he is no longer suffering and will forever look down on us with that giant smile of his. You know that he was such a large part of my life and how special it was for me to spend time with him this summer. Even though his health was so fragile then, he still knew how to make us all laugh. I am the lucky one because I have so many wonderful memories that will stay with me forever. We will keep all of you in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Nita and Marty

    I wish to express my condolences to the Family of Harold Bennett. I know I didn’t spend a lot of time with the family, but got to know them again, before moving to AZ and will deeply miss Uncle Harold. I enjoyed the visits to there house in Sumner and May God Bless him and look over Aunt Dorthy and Family. My sorrow was great and I apologize for not sending my love sooner, but I just found out today of his passing. Our Love, Leonard, Sharyl and Isiah

    Dear Dorothy, I’m so sad that Uncle Harold is no longer with us, you were always such a fun and devoted couple. You and your kids really took great care of him, especially these last few months. My condolences to you all, love, Susan

    Grandma, We all love you and want you to know we are thinking of you everyday just as we always have. Grandpa was always much more than grandpa, he was my best friend, always there, always honest and true, he always supported what we did and was never selfish. Moving away from you two was difficult, but he told us not to stay on his account, go do what was right for our family. We still enjoy the tractors and shows, he started that hobby and it is something we will do forever to keep him in our memory and our family together. Our time on this earth is precious and I am thankful to have spent alot of it with him, there are no regrets and he did have an impact on our lives.
