    To The Bennett Family: I was so sorry to hear about Margaret. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. My fondest childhood memories are of Bob, Margaret and "Bennett's Store." Everyone in Newell loved going to their store, and Bob and Margaret were the most gracious store owners anyone could meet. I only wish my children could have experienced this too. Thanks for the wonderful memories Bob and Margaret. My Deepest Sympathy, Nancy Laneve Barlow
