Nicole Bennett's Funeral

Nicole Bennett was laid to rest on Friday, January 23rd, 2026. The funeral was really hard. I tried my best to go to the viewing but couldn't do it. I cried in the hallway just outside the viewing. I waited for Mark and Mikayla and President Kuhlman gave me a hug. He seems so serious most of the time, kind of like President Oaks. That was a different side of him. I totally sank into that hug. Juliet and Maxine went to the viewing the next day and they said it was not their favorite. Juliet played a piano musical number and shared funny stories about Nicole with Kate and Alicen. They lightened the mood quite a bit.   


The graveside service was pretty cold and we were in thin dresses. It lasted quite a while and I was shivering. The luncheon back at the church was very nice. Pasta, salad, and great breadsticks and cookies. 


I'm kind of glad the funeral is over. I cried a lot. Now I feel like life will return to normal a little bit. We'll miss you Nicole. Godspeed girlie!
