Kristy Mari Bennett
October 5, 2006

In the comfort of her home, GOD graciously & peacefully took our Kristy Mari into Heaven this past Thursday night. Born August 6th, 1974 – Kristy Mari Bauer. Kristy took the life that was given her and made it GREAT! With wearing her beautiful heart out on her sleeve – she loved everyone. One of her most favorite passions in life was taking special care of all those she loved. Her kind & loving heart radiated through everything she was and did. As the Artist of our family – she loved to draw, do Arts & Crafts and go shopping. Kristy was the world's Best Bargain Hunter. She just could not get enough of Butterflies and especially, Forget Me Nots. We are so very proud of our Kristy Mari – she was our Hero – stronger & mightier than all of us put together. No matter what this life threw at her, she always was so loving & kind. She was determined – persevering and NEVER NEVER EVER gave up. She is our Cinderella Girl….She's Richie's Princess. And no matter what – she had for everyone she would meet – the great gift of her precious little smile. Kristy was predeceased by her loving grandparents; Karl E. & Margery E. Bauer and Stephen E. & Mary Ann LaFleur – both of North Syracuse.

Kristy Mari is survived by so very many who loved her….the true love of her life & soul mate; Richie Bennett – her Papa & Mama, Steve & Charlene LaFleur, her most treasured dearest little sister; Karlee Elizabeth, brother Wayne Buie, her Grampa Al Weir, Dave, Marge & Verna Babcock, Aunt Melanie Kerwin, Rick, Fran, Dee & Diane Macheda, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins and the truest forever friends who are too numerous to list now – but know in their hearts who they are.

Services will be held on Wednesday at 10 AM the Believer's Chapel, Thompson Rd, Cicero. Burial will be in North Syracuse Cemetery. Friends are invited to visit with her family on Tuesday from 4-7 PM at the New Comer Family Funeral Home, 705 N. Main St., North Syracuse.

Steve, Charlene, Karlee & Richie invite family & friends to come continue to celebrate Kristy's life at their home immediately following her services on Wednesday.

And one last thing for our Kristy Mari….It is a poem that her Great Grama Gert gave to her Grama Betty – that Grama Betty gave to Charlene Sue…and now Charlene Sue, Kristy's Mama gives to her:
Little baby girl, I love you…For you bring me untold cheer…And a bit of Heaven…Every time you are near…Purest of all GOD's creations…Sent to make my life worth while…You make even roses humble…When you part your lips to smile…Warm & soft delightful bundle…Your eyes put the stars to shame…For the whole world glows with rapture…Even when I speak your name…Magic little blissful person…If I could but tell you of…What is in my heart for you, dear…You would know a wondrous love…If I am to climb the mountain…Or see all life's trouble through…Little girl, I need you near me…Everything depends on you.

I love you always, my little Kristy Mari. Mama is so very proud of you. You have been, are now, and will always be – my HERO. I'll see you in Heaven my most precious 1st born. Until we meet again, I know GOD & JESUS are holding safe & sound in THEIR loving arms. You are finally free now my little girl.
