Doris, I will never forget the time Bennon took us, (me) Betty Sue,Evelyn and Joyce Anne to see Psycho, and took us riding in his fancy black thunderbird. We always said to him, Cookie,Cookie, lend me your comb, cuz that's who he reminded us of.  He was soo much fun to be with. We, the Miley Family loved him dearly. Even though I was just a kid, I will never forget him and that night he took us to the show. He will never be forgotten. You are in our prayers. Love, Bennon's Cousin, Betty Sue

We will love and miss our Uncle Ben forever and treasure our wonderful memories with him!
Brad, Lorie, and Morgan Emmons

We met Ben about 50 years ago and have been friends since. We didn't see him very often, but the connection has endured through the years. We were devastated to learn of his illness and saddened by his passing. The memories will last as long as we do.
 Thanks to you, Doris, for such compassionate and loving care throughout his lengthy illness. May God richly bless you and Connie in the days, months, and years to come.

Doris and Connie Jean, My heart breaks for you in the loss of Ben.  He was such a happy, joyous person and we all loved him so much.  But now he can rest in peace in God's hands.  I loved the pictures, they brought back many memories of when he and Tommy were young.  I love you both.

Doris & Connie: I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your husband & father.  Ben was a great man and he will be missed by many. May God surround you with his peace, strength and love during the difficult days ahead. My thoughts and prayers are with you.  Love you all, Jeannine Cheatwood-Chaney, P O Box 8386 Hermitage, TN 615-569-8916
