Condolences for Bennett Thomas Sanders

Almost 20 years ago Ben & Cheryl came to our then church, Calvary Assembly of God. I'm time we became true friends. Ben was the first one to say to me Gods plans arn't Mans plans which now I always say and never forgot who first said it. Every so often as men will do he would begin to God off during service and Cheryl would nudge him and sometimes when I saw that we would silently giggle. Never once in all those years did I see anger or a harsh word come from him. A great guy he was.

Sending our love from Florida. Heaven gained a gentle spirit. Stent string family and remember our Heavenly Fathers promises, it's never good bye but see you one day. Love you all.

So sorry to hear about Ben. He ran the race and has now reaped his reward. Blessings to you Cheryl and to the whole family. May our heavenly Father give peace and joy to all.

So sorry for your loss. A truly great man, full of faith in his Lord.

I made Ben laugh once when I told him “I gotta go cause brown sugar melts in the sun” as the family was sitting in the back yard enjoying the sun. I think he was the only one listening to me. Ben was definitely the quiet guy in the back round and you wouldn’t know he was there until you made him laugh. A good husband great father and even thou hard working...I always felt bad for anyone that was unable to reap the benefits of their labor and enjoy retirement. But today I thought... He is benefiting! Only in a better place with his Creator and with his loved ones that he will meet again, without any pain. Rest in paradise brother in law it was an honor to know you.

Beth and I had a sleep over... and when we woke up we decided to make breakfast. We made Ben coffee and must have completely destroyed it... who knew too many coffee grounds was a thing...he laughed at us but appreciated our efforts. He was always a gentle, quiet soul. I was blessed for knowing him and your family for so many years. Prayers for comfort to those left behind to miss him... may your happy memories together help carry the heavy weight of this sorrow.

Cheryl, We send the spirit of the comforter to you and your family during this life changing time. I pray that God the Father is filling you with his strength, peace and joy. May you all find comfort and sweet rest in The Father arms. May he grant you joy for your sorrows, comfort for your pain, and everlasting memories for the absence of your Sweet husband Ben. You all are in our prayers. Love You. -- Branscombe Family
