We remember both your parents fondly.. She is once again reunited with her husband. I especially have great memories of her at CVCC in the Tuesday Ladies league… always sweet and very kind…,So sorry for everyone’s loss. Peace to all.
She surely enjoyed golf, and the ladies she golfed with. Thanks for your kind words.
We are so sorry for your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Thank you for your sympathy. We all appreciate it very much.
I am so sorry to hear of your loss and we send our condolences. As I write this tears come to my eyes but are overshadowed by thnking of all the great moments we shared with Audie and Bob. There were so many good times, too many to list. All the golf outings with Audie and Bob, John and Anne Smith, Pam and Blair Smoulder, and Joan and me. Since I either worked or was neighbors with most of the immediate family, I wish you all well. I can’t help but think that Audie just completed the golf foursome in heaven with John, Anne, and Bob.
Dear Benson’s,
I am saddened by your mother’s passing, and just finding out about it now. Your mom and dad were always so much fun to be around at the family reunions at Wildcat Park. Also, I remember all the times I went with my mother to get her hair done. I hope you are all healthy, and in good spirits. Much love, Clay Benson
