Beretta was a beautiful person. So said to loose the last of Uncle Ben’ s five children. My mother, Sudie Lankford Robison, particularly loved Benetta.

Bennie was beautiful her entire life.i watched her from afar as her younger cousin, and enjoy my sweet cousin Kelly with love and admiration as my connection to home..there’s an empty spot for Mother’s only brother’s children.

Ron and Kelly, I am so sorry to hear about Benetta! What a good woman she was, she worked with my Mom for many years. Praying for God's wonderful comfort today and in the days to come.

Benny was my first cousin. When she was in high school and started driving, she let me go places with her! I loved her dearly. She is the last of my much loved Lankford cousins.
