Dear Friends & Family: Words seem inadequate to express the love we have received for our family during Momma's illness. Billie Nichols Bennett passed away last night on her father's birthday. She described him as her "soft place to fall." How perfect she lived and transitioned the way she wanted. She loved you all deeply, as we do. Thank you from all of us.Charlotte
