Bennie was the sister I never had as she made sure my hair was perfect on my wedding day! She was always upbeat and full of life. I'll never forget her wonderful smile. As a young mom, she took great pride in Kimberly and Tim, very attentive and caring, which carried over into her Golden Years as a "doting" grandmother. If only all of us had her enviable qualities. I'll always remember the first time we met at our house in Norwalk for Tom's 18th birthday. As a 12 year old tom-boy, I was amazed at her perfect hairdo and pretty clothes thinking, "Wow! Look at Tom's girlfriend!" Bennie, you will be truly missed!
