Grandma Bennett was not my grandmother by blood but a spiritual and loving mother in that sense. She didn't mind me calling her by that title. I loved her very much. She was kind,loving, and gentle Woman of God who will be truly missed. The Lord has gained another Angel in His Kingdom.

Sis Bennett is one of the most loving and kind women I've known. She has been a faithful supporter of the UEMO ministry and a genuine woman of God. Thank God for her godly legacy. The UEMO church family will never forget the fellowship we have shared.

My life is richer for having known mother Bennett. She always greeted me with a smile and a soft gentle tone of voice. She is the epitome of what a mother and grandmother should be: loving, warm, but with an inner strength and resolve to go above and beyond for those she loves. She will be remembered fondly.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.
