Guestbook

  1. Ben and Agnes were faithful friends teaching me how to live life serving others, especially through the lens of the Franciscan Monastery Garden Guild, of which they were founding members in 1998. I have missed Agnes, and now I miss both equally. Rest in His merciful arms for eternity dear faithful friends. Sheila and Joe

  2. To Mary Beth, Baden and Cecelia:

    I’m sending you my Sincere Heartfelt Condolences on the passing of Ben. What a wonderful man who is going to be missed by me and so many others. I remember when your parents came to my home and brought me a Rose bush and planted in my front yard, which is still there. I can remember them coming into the bank to take care of business. I remember Agnes took me and another lady to Timbucktu for lunch, we had so much fun. You had such wonderful parents. I know you are going to miss them just know that they are resting with their Lord and Savior.
    Peace and Love,
    Roseann Johnson-Barbee

  3. Please accept our deepest condolences and know that we have you and your family in our thoughts.
