Cousin Connie, It pained us to know we couldn't be there physically for you during this time but we prayed and watched the service from our homes in Connecticut. Your family here loves you, appreciated Bennie and the love and support he was always to you and our whole family especially at times like these. So sorry for our loss.

Dear Connie and Valerie--it is an honor to have watched Bennie's funeral. Bennie was certainly loved and admired. What a beautiful experience to hear how he was remembered. I'm sorry I couldn't be with you physically but I will call you and hold you in my heart always. I love how people thanked you for sharing Benny with them. He must have been a really special guy: Strong-kind-a hero-intentional. May his memory always be a blessing, love Gloria

When you heard him speak you listened because Uncle Bennie had the type of voice that sounded commanding and strong. I used to love watching him take everybody out one by one in checkers at the family reunions. A man’s man for sure. Rest easy Uncle Bennie!

What can you say about Mr. Bennie McPherson, He was one of a kind, He was a gentle giant with the biggest heart of anyone I know. Bennie was a special friend to the Lowe family since 1979, he was one of the first of the Prince Hall Family to welcome our family into the order, He was always there to support us, especially when our own Father and Mother passed on, He is a Heaven Bound Angel and we will miss him immeasurably, I can take comfort in knowing that my Mom and Dad are waiting for him, and in his honor we will keep Connie in our hearts, thoughts, and prayers, we will watch over his angel. Rest in Heaven "Big Ben", we will listen for your laugh across the heavens. The Lowe's
