Tributes & Memories
It was nice seeing you all. I hope the presence of my mother (Clara) was both gratifying and happy. My own son told me two years ago at the Bennett Family reunion held annually , how much Grandma and Velma resembled each other. They definitely do!! Hope to see you all at the next family reunion here in Wichita next summer.
