WORDS SEEM TO BE TOO SHALLOW AND INAPPROPRIATE FOR THIS KIND, LOVING, EVER SO BEAUTIFUL, FIERCELY FAITHFUL, FRIEND TO ALL.  UNCONDITIONAL LOVE FROM BENNIE WAS A DAY IN DAY OUT PLEASURE THAT WAS ALWAYS APPRECIATED, AND NEVER ONCE TAKEN FOR GRANTED.  AFTER THE LOSS OF A PREVIOUS FAMILY COMPANION (IRONICALLY, ALSO 4 YEARS OF AGE), WE REALIZED HOW LUCKY AND SPECIAL WE WERE TO HAVE SUCH A SPIRITUAL CREATURE BE SO DEVOTED TO OUR LIVES.  

WHEN GAZING INTO BENNIE'S EYES, THERE WAS NO MISTAKING THAT HE WAS THE KINDEST OF SOULS.  JUST BEING AROUND BENNIE MADE ONE FEEL YOUNGER BECAUSE OF HIS HAPPY GO LUCKY, CHILD-LIKE PERSONALITY.  HIS EXPRESSIONS WERE HUMAN, HE WAS HUMAN; HE REALLY WAS.  TEARS FLOW FREELY, AND HEARTS ARE BROKEN AS THE PAIN OF OUR REALITY STRIKES OVER AND OVER AGAIN.  IT'S AN AWEFUL FEELING TO WALK IN THE FRONT DOOR; FROZEN, NUMB, AND EMPTY, WE KNOW THERE WILL BE NO MORE GREETINGS FROM OUR FRIEND.  NO MORE GREETINGS THAT WERE DONE WITH BOUNDLESS ENERGY, GREAT STYLE, AND A FLAIR ALL OF HIS OWN.  BENTLEY, YOU ARE FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS, AND YOUR IMPRESSIONS WILL BE IMPRINTED ON OUR SOULS FOR ETERNITY.  THANK YOU FOR BEING SUCH A WONDERFUL COMPANION.  YOU ARE AN ANGEL TO US ALL.
