Priscilla Faith Dohse Bennett
December 14, 1932 – October 24, 2013
I am taking time away this weekend to be with my husband's family as we gather to remember his dear mother, Priscilla who went to live in Heaven with Jesus last week.
I know that all of the angels are rejoicing to have her there, but as everyone knows, it's always difficult to see a loved one leave this earth.
We rejoice in knowing that mom is no longer suffering from all of the illnesses that would not allow her to walk and to talk with us, but, she will still be missed by everyone she touched here on earth.
I take comfort in knowing she is with my mom in heaven and they are both smiling down on all their kids and grandkids and great grandkids! What sweet comfort that picture brings!
Below: I photographed this out of one of the scrapbooks I made years ago… this is how I will most remember Eric's mom… COOKING! As a mother of 5, you know she cooked a LOT of meals in her years!
Below is a photo from Chrsitmas 2011 with her 5 grown kids and husband Ron
Below: A great photo of my in laws from 2003
Priscilla loved Hippos… here she is in 2004 opening a hippo on her birthday
Mom, you will be loved and remembered in our hearts forever!
As I was reading through one of my daily devotional books, I found this verse and I said, THIS describes Priscilla…
Blessed are those who keep His testimonies, who seek Him with their whole heart!
Psalm 119:2

Aren’t our hearts miraculous things? They keep us alive in more than a mechanical way. They let us store so much love and so many memories,it’s amazing. Treasures we can’t lose. What a sadness and a joy her passing must be. We are here for only a short while and her loss has brought you grief and sadness, but there is comfort and joy in knowing where she will be for eternity, with our Lord and Savior. Not really “gone,” just in a glorious new home. Well done faithful servant.
so very sorry to hear of your loss. Prayers and good thoughts for you all.
I’m so sorry for your loss. What a wonderful tribute to your mother in law. Prayers to alll the family.

Patty, I am so very sorry for your loss. My father died suddenly on July 29 and I’m still very devastated over it since he was all I had. I know how you feel and know that God is with you during this time. She is with the Lord now rejoicing and is healed. Hugs, Cindy
I am so sorry for your family’s loss. May the memories of the happy times you had together give you comfort.

What a beautiful tribute to your Mother-in-law! May you and your family take comfort in knowing that she is in heaven, and the wonderful memories of her on this earth.
Such a beautiful tribute, Patty!
Your mother-in-law looks like someone I’d love to know. Just a sweet friendly mom who loved her family and the Lord. I’m sorry for your loss, but it’s certainly Heaven’s gain when we know our loved ones are there. Blessings to you and your family.
Your Family are in my prayers.
I am so sorry for your loss. My husband and I have lost 3 parents in the past 3 years and we know how difficult it is to lose a parent. And like you, we have found peace and comfort in knowing that our parents knew Jesus as their personal Savior and therefore are whole and happy at the Lord’s side in Heaven. I will continue to pray for you and your family. God bless you.
Patty;
I am very sorry for your loss. I hope you and your family are filled with happiness while you all remember days when she was healthy and happy.
Sending prayers your way;
