IONIA SENTINEL-STANDARD, 2-3-1997: "BENNETT - In Loving Memory of Dorothy Bennett who passed away January 30, 1996. The rolling streams of life flow on, but the vacant chair recalls the love, the voice, the smile of the one who once sat therre. And what would we give if we could say "Hi Dorothy" in the same old way. To hear her voice and see her smile, to sit and chat with her awhile. Her memory is as dear today as in the hour she passed away. And today and everyday in silence we remember her. Sadly missed by Her Family and Friends."
