Lisa Lang says
Dear Bennett family,
I got to spend about 5 years of my life knowing Mary Lynne while I lived in Miles City until 2006. I loved when she would come into The Cottage where I worked. She was a hoot! I am smiling now thinking about her and the sparkle in her eye, her sense of humor, and I can hear her laugh in my memories still to this day. What a lady she was! I’m sorry that you now longer have her here with you. I know the days ahead will be hard and she will be missed greatly. Thankful though that God made a Mary Lynne to miss! She loved well and has left a great legacy. I’m praying for you all Joe, Corrine, and Bryon and families. I’m thankful that she trusted in Christ and is worshipping Him now. I can only imagine what she is experiencing in heaven.
Sending my love,
Lisa (Nemitz) Lang
Nancy Pasha says
Prayers for the Bennet family. i am so sorry I was unable to attend her service. She was a great neighbor and friend. Heaven welcomed this kind sweet lady, as did her Great Granddaughter, Paisley Jo. Paisley is not alone now, she has her loving Grandma with her. My prayers are for each and all of you. God Bless Mary Lynn for being the wonderful lady she was. Now may she rest in peace until you meet again. Love to you all!
