Benji, you will always be Benji to me from growing up, being neighbors and friends in Harvey.
I just happened to bring up the obituaries on Smits and was shocked to see your wife's name.
I am so sorry for you and children's loss. My husband passed away in January and Smits did the arrangements too. I know the pain you are going through.
May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.
My deepest sympathy

If I could ever imagine an Angel on earth it would of been Michelle. Her gentle soul and easy going attitude made you want to around her. I wish I didn’t live so far away so I could of seen her more. I am so thankful I called her two weeks ago so we could have a good talk and some laughs. She will forever be in my heart and I will miss her terribly.
