Auntie Lizabeth...The only sister my dad had,,,Oh what a reunion The Benson's are having now. Her brothers have been patiently waiting to see her again. Oh what Joy! Our family grieves but not like those who have no Hope. To my cousins, Kim,April and Sonny, there are no words when you lose a love one as dear as your MOM, but know that her earthly house is at rest now. When she closed her eyes here on earth, she opened them in the arms of The Lord. I love you all.

I remember my mom once caught me with a lighted cigarette from an ash tray. While I was trying very quickly to take it out. My mom had other plans, she told me to keep it in my mouth and smoke it. I was literally speechless from that and even more when this gentle woman I have known for years wasn't so gentle in that moment and for good reason. I choked on the smoke, coughed, and thought she was going to tell me to stop but she didn't. To shorten the story, I never picked up another cigarette again.
My fondest memory is when mom and I danced to a James Brown song when she introduced me to a dance called the wha toosie? I might be spelling that wrong but you slide your legs and feet one at a time a certain way. We held hands as she showed me. A little thing perhaps, but a big one for me. Thank you mom for loving, caring and always being there for us, I love you so very much, I miss you so very much.
Thank you to family and friends for your prayers and thoughts, your love, kindness and support. I love you all
Kim
