I was saddened to learn about Aunt Nan's death. I've thought of her often and wondered how she was. Unfortunately my family lost contact w/her after Uncle Aaron's death. I'll always remember her as one full of spunk-always smiling and laughing and keeping Uncle Aaron doing the same. My prayers are with you.

I was saddened to find out about Aunt Nan's passing today. She was such a special person to me and my family. Have moved out of the area; was visiting my brother's and Uncle Aaron's gravesites and this is when I found out. My mother, my husband and I send our condolences.

I knew Mrs. Benson as a child through the Augusta Boating Club and then later in life as I worked for Dr. Blitch. First off, I remember this attractive woman who loved to water ski. She was svelt in her bathing suit, and like a pro would take off from the dock, reminded me of one of the ladies in a show I had seen down in Florida! Then, when she and Mr. Benson became my friends through the office, we spent many a day reminiscing and chatting at my desk. I thoroughly enjoyed this lovely lady who never aged, always looked like that svelt young lady on skis. I've lost touch with her these past, probably ten years, but know you all will miss this lovely person's presence so much. She touched many lives with such a wonderful impression.

My husband and I worked with Nan back in 1976 at C&S Bank. She was such a sweet person.



Nan and Aaron were wonderful people and are sorely missed.
