Dear Benson family: I knew your parents rather well, beginning in the 1950s when I was a student at Humiston Elementary School. Your mother was my eighth grade teacher, and I was very happy to be in her class. She made learning fun. As a graduate of Cheshire High School, my wife Barbara and I (both Class of '57) invited both your parents to our class reunions, and they attended until our 50th, last year. Your father was deceased, of course; I was one of the mourners who met you at his wake. I am going to be out of town this Saturday and so cannot be at the funeral for your mother. But I am doing two things in remembrance of her. First, I will notify my classmate by email. Second, I send my prayers and fond thoughts of her. She was a good woman.
