1. It was with such sadness Lauren informed me of Beth's death and it was with tears and hugs we consoled each other. Beth and the church family were our saviours and supports for many years and our sincere gratitude and love to the Benfell family and extended church family. So loved you Beth- you were a living example of grace, acceptance and kindness. Cheryl and Lauren xxx

11. We are saddened to hear of the loss of Mrs Benfell and send our deepest condolences to Mr Benfell, Sarah, Ruth Lis, Dave and their families.
    Beth will be remembered by us as a committed and steadfast believer, a woman who quietly led by example and encouraged so many young women. She always had a word of support, a piece of Godly advice and a heartfelt prayer. She will be missed by so many and we take comfort knowing that she is now resting with her maker in perfect peace.
