You were such a great kid words can't put together how nice, funny, and adorable you were. I rest assure you are at peace but still have unfinished business and I'm sure by the time we go, your business will be done and we can all have the time of our lives up there.

Ben,

We've been through so much.I'm so glad Anthony introduced us.When Ant died you were there for me and I couldn't have gotten through it without you.We have had so many good times.YOUR FLABBERGASTIN!How about the time Ant was in the hospital and we were all outside in the front and you and me were arguing and I said "Ben SHUT UP!" thought I was all cool and turned around and walked right into the glass door. Haha you never ever let me live that one down!My Favorite was shoppign with you!And when you came to my school and we went to Wendys...haha that Lady was yelling!You always managed to keep a smile on my face.The 3 years I have known you flew by,I wish we had more time.There are so many things I wish I could say to you right now. I just read the letter you sent me awhile back. Ben I'm sorry for all of our stupid fights they were not worth it. I wish I could go back in time. But I'll cherish the moments we shared. It hurts but I know your happy because how can you beat being in heaven with your bestfriends. I bet you Ant and Ryan are laughing at us right now.Just hope you know that I love you,I always will and I miss you. It'll never be the same. You were the most beautiful person not just on the outside ;).You had the biggest heart of anybody I know. You have taught me so much,and had such a huge impact on my life.
I Love You.

Mr. and Ms. Stawski I have to thank Ben for letting both of you wonderful people in my life. My prayers are with you.It takes two great people to raise such an amazing boy. You do not deserve to have to go through this. Stay strong<3.
