My deepest sympathy to Don Cathy and Erin.
Love to all.
Just wanted to send a message to the Babb family. Although I didn’t know Eleanor, I certainly care and know dear Cathy and Don. I look st her picture and see such beauty. I also know she must have been a great mom. Cathy, please know I care and David and both send our sympathy to you all including your daughter.
Sending love and prayers to the Babb family. I never met Ms. Benedict, but I seeing her beautiful face, I can see she was a magnificent lady. God bless you and guide you through this difficult time.
The Anderson Family sends their prayers for the family of Mrs. Benedict. She was my mother -in-laws room mate at UHC. Eleanor always greeted us with a big smile and ask when we would be back. I would tell her I will be back in a day or two she would reply you will. I always looked forward to seeing her. She would hold my hand and tell me how glad she was to see me. I will miss her and the sweet spirit she had. The last day I saw her a man I thought to be the Priest came into the room to pray, I was so touched by the love he presented
Family may you know how much she was loved by others.
