It's killing me

January 1, 2015

About 3 hours and twenty minutes until the heart wrenching news that I couldn't bare to hear. Today is supposed to be great and a new beginning. But it's a horrid flash back of pain and sorrow. The day we lost you was the day we lost it all and ever since then everything has changed.

At the days end I thank GOD for the day but I know I'm another day closer to you!!!!! No one understands me like you do or like you did!!! I find myself being more anxious and nervous all the time!!!! I can't wait to be in your arms again!!!!! I just know those strong arms made me feel safe and secure!!!! I miss you!!!! I miss my sweet little baby!!! Been crying a lot for him lately and dreaming of his sweet little soft face!!!!!!!! I just don't know how to live without you two!!!

Uncle Benny,
I recently went to visit the family and stayed in your house for a few days. I wasn't quite sure how it would feel without you being in that home, but all i can say is that it's just not the same without you. You had one of the biggest hearts and warming smiles that anyone could ever see in a man, and you gave the joy in life to many people. Like i have told your amazing wife, you two are my favorite uncle and aunt, and you always will be. There's a lot of pain i'm holding in me because of the loss of time i had with you and the family. It breaks my heart every day that i didnt get the time i needed with you, and you know exactly what i mean. and by the way, i recently got engaged and i am in college now. my fiance came with me and met the family. he said he had never seen that side of me before and that he saw the happiness in me when i was there. thats the way it has always been, even as a child. you and the family have always given me happiness and the love that i needed. thank you for everything you did for me and i want you to know that i miss you and love you. Your wife is the strongest woman i know and Lindsay and Tyler are so strong for their ages already, but they still need you and Tim-Tim. We all do. I love you Benny and i can't wait for the day when i get to see your face again and we can catch up for all of our lost time.
Your niece,

Greg Murphy

Hey Benny,
I was thinking about you alot lately. Miss the good times we had when we were young. We grew up together in that old machine shop they called "Waltons". Time flies by with a wink of an eye. Miss you alot. You were the one true friend I could always count on. I know some day I will see you again. We will smile and hug, and think of the crazy times we had. Love Ya, Greg

Happy Birthday!! Honey! I can't tell you how much I miss you!!! I thought of all your birthdays past and how we spent them!! I miss everything about you!!! I miss your laugh and how you would go on and on when you told a joke and always ended up telling the punch line before it was time!!! You sure did make my life interesting!!! I miss sharing the details of the day with you!!! I miss your input on the kids!! I miss you sooooo much!!! I miss Tim-Tim so much too!!! I know that him being with you is probably all you need for your birthday!!! But honey how am I suppose to live when I walk around with this enormous hole that is draining the life out of me!!!! I know that my depression is effecting the kids and I don't know how to stop it!!! I can hear you telling me to keep my head up and be strong but I don't have any strenth left!!!!! You were my rock!!! Now I want to throw a few hundred thousand, but I don't know if that would really make me feel better!!! Knowing that I will be with you and my sweet little angel someday helps and knowing that I have to be here for T-bone and sissy is the only thing that keeps me breathing!!!!!!!! I am so broke and I know God is the only one that holds the glue!!! I pray that he will continue to hold my hand and one day apply the glue that I so despartely need!!!!!!! Oh honey, Happy Birthday I can only imagine how wonderful God planned your day!!! Hope it was great!!! Please honey be with me if you can!!! I look for you everyday in everything!!! let me feel your presence!!! I will always long to be in your arms!!!!! Love my baby!! Always Yours!!!! Me

I remember you handing her to me, with your eyes full of tears!! How you teased me about getting to hold her first!! And when you came home from work with tears in your eyes telling me about the song "I loved her first" Everytime Lindsay hears that song she turns it up and sings it to the top of her lungs!!! She misses you so much Daddy!!! She will always be "DADDY'S GIRL" I know she will miss you and need you her whole life!!!! I know you will always be with us and when she smiles I will see you!!! I love you and thank you so much for everything you have given me including our beautiful children!!! Love my baby for me!!!!! Always Yours, Me

June 25, 2009

Honey, today was a better day than yesterday!! Not that I missed you any less today but today I was able to hold it together a little better!! I was just a mess yesterday!!! Hell I am a mess everyday!!! I was just able to control my emotions before exploding everywhere!! I love you!! I took mom to the hospital today for some tests, she isn't really do that good, and I am worried!! I need your strength!! I have been spending time over at Jerry's house. It's really been nice hanging out with him!!! We have got to keep our family close!! Tyler has been there since school let out practically! I am glad that he is close to his cousins and they can grow up together!! I am hoping to spend sometime at the lake this year. Gosh, there are so many good memories there and a few not so good ones!! But didn't we have fun?! I remember our first trip down as a couple. We rented a log cabin at the state docks with David Scott and his girl. That was so long ago but we had a blast!!! We rented that pontoon boat and nearly wiped out the bank with it!! Those were the days!! Only if we could go back!! I would in a second!! I miss you!!! I will see you in my dreams, I think I will try to get some sleep tonight. Love my baby!!! Always yours, Me

June 24, 2009

Happy Father's Day Honey! I know that you, Tim-Tim, and Pap-paw are spending the day together!!! There is comfort knowing that Tim-Tim is with you on father's day!! I think about you everyday and how much I miss you, need you and love you!!!!! I think about how much my kids NEED YOU and MISS YOU!!! Ty called me at work right at midnight to wish me a Happy Father's Day because now I am his mommy and daddy. WOW! They both surprise me with the beautiful little hearts they have!! I can't hardly comprehend that I have to be both parents!! I Miss you!!!! Did I mention I need you, love you, and miss you terribly!!!! I have cried all day!! I dream of you and don't want to wake up!!! And when I do I am just a mess the whole day!!!I remember when we would cry because we couldn't get pregnant!! How having a baby was our only thought and we were so compasionate about having a family together!!!! How you would stop on your way home from work to get a pregnancy test~and you would hold me until it was time to see if we were expecting or not~and it was always~NOT! Then going through invitro and you telling everyone that it was the doctor's baby/babies. The day we had the boys and the way you looked at me!!! I will always cherish those tender moments and be grateful that I got to share them with you!!!! How about when daddy's little girl was born!? You were putty in her hands from the start!!! I love it when you told the story of how the doctor had to catch her and you were the first one to hold her and how you cried when you heard the song "I loved her first" God knows how much you loved us!!! I know too and that's why it hurts sooooo bad!!!!! I will always be grateful to God that he allowed me to be your wife and experience the miracle of life with you!!!! I don't know how I am ever going to be able to live this life without you!!! I miss my baby so much that I can hardly talk about him or mention his name without feeling like a ton of bricks are on my chest!!!! Sometimes I think I am just going to stop breathing it hurts so bad!!!! Honey please love him for me, and kiss his soft little face!!! God please give me the strength to live without them both!!!!! Honey I know "Let Go, and Let God" I am really struggling with this right now!! Please be with me!!! Always Yours, Me

June 21, 2009

Happy Fathers Day! Missing you today and always,i love you.... Maria

June 5, 2009

Honey,
Once again it's the sad story of how I am hurting from head to toe for you and Timmy!!! I just wish I could breath and it wouldn't hurt so bad!! I swear everyday theres something that will bring back a memory which I am grateful for but so damn heart broken over!!! Everyday I have to literally tell myself that you would want be to go on and do my best by the kids!!! I just miss you so much and I wish you were here so much!!!! I don't know how to do it without you!! I really don't think the kids know how to either!!! For that matter I don't know how anyone that loved you knows how!!! I don't feel like I can survive another minute much less another day!!! Everybody says it's been two years and you need to move on! Move where?!! There is not a place on earth that I could go that this tremendous pain wouldn't follow!!!!!! I need you, I need you, and I really need you!!! I just wish I could make sense of my life and figure out who I am without you!!! I am just NOBODY without you!!!! I am Benny's wife and will always be your wife!!! I love you so much!!! I can't even begin to comprehend the pain I feel over my sweet little "sunshine" I just feel like it has stormed everyday since February 6!!!!!! I beg God to help me, and give me the strength to endure each day!!!! Honey I love you, give my baby a kiss,run your fingers through his beautiful hair and hum to him!!! Always Yours, Me

May 27, 2009

Honey,
I just have to tell "I Love you!" I know that I tell you a hundred times a day!! I just miss you so much!! Our 17th anniversary, I sure didn't think I would be spending it at a grave yard!! I re-lived our beautiful wedding and it just makes me miss you more and more!!!!! But honey I would not have changed it for the world!!! I would do it all over again and again!!! The kids miss you and Timmy everyday!!! Daddy, Ty is getting so big and he has really had to grow up when he should just be a kido!! He worries about everything which makes me crazy. I just wish he would watch his mouth, other than that he is such an awesome little guy!! I am proud to be his mom and I know that you would be proud to be his dad!!! Please honey help him if you can to become the little gentleman you hoped he would be!!! He defintely needs male guidance!!! But everyone has their own families and just don't have the time. Honey if you can let him feel your presence and guide him through the tough times. Sissy is so beautiful, she has a really sweet little friend that she spends a lot of time with and I am so thankful that she has her and her family, because I just feel she needs more than I can do or give her!!! She will always be your little girl, and little girls need their daddys!!! We continue to pray that God will give us the strength to endure this life without you and Timmy!!! I just can't miss you both anymore than I do!! I am still having a hard time sleeping,thinking, breathing, etc... without you both!!!!! Please love my little angel and kiss his soft sweet face for me!!! I love you xoxoxoxxxoxox Me

May 14, 2009

Missing you sooo much, I love you! Cindy

March 22, 2009

Honey,
I just don't know how!!! How, how, how, how, how, am I suppose to live this life without my sweet little baby!! I know were not suppose to question why? but how? I can't sleep, my body hurts, and my heart is destroyed!!!!!! I think it's got to get better, and then I think how could it possibly get better without you and Tim-Tim!!!! I wish you were here and could tell me it's going to be okay! Nothing will ever be right without you both!!! I am just so unsure of everything, I wish I could make sense of something!!! Oh honey I love you!! and miss you!! Keep my baby safe and kiss is soft little face and tell him it's from his momma! I love you!!! Always yours, me

February 25, 2009

Honey,
I miss you and Timmy so much!!! I know that I should be so happy that our sweet little angel can do it all now and without any pain!! I am just so damn selfish cause I miss him and want him here with me!!! I still can't sleep good and I just hurt all over!!! The kids schools have been so good to us!!! They really do care and it shows!!! I just wish this pain would go away!! I feel like I walk around with a lump in my throat and a ton of bricks on my chest!! We are starting counceling this week. I am going first then I will set things up for the kids!!! I am really not sure anything is really gonna help but I am going to give it a try!! I love you!!! Please give my baby hugs & kisses for me!! Always yours, Lynn

LYNN-Sweetie, please hang in there. We will see them again. I know it. That's why I'm not afraid of dying. Bennie and Little Timmy will one day be seeing you,just as Kendra and my Timmy be waiting for me. Tyler and Lindsey are hurting also, believe me. From all of this,Tyler and Lindsey will learn from this. Kendra did from losing our Timmy, and in her short life was the most loving and compassionate person I have ever known. I have learned so much from her. You will also learn from your children. Look what Little Timmy has already taught you. I do, I do hurt for you so much. Believe me, others do also, but they can not even imagine the pain you and I go through. Love You.

Judy Werner

February 17, 2009

Lynn- I hate it that you have to go through another first year of this. Listen to Tyler and Lindsey. Sometimes I think our lost loved ones speak through them. They will say things that are so out there. A sincere understanding of what is going on. Kendra did this as a small child after my Timmy died. I would wonder how a child could have this kind of reasoning. I don't think I ever attended a service where everyone was crying. It was so unreal to hear all of the sobs. I once touched my neck and found a continous trail of tears running down. Like a little stream. Please remember that Tyler and Lindsey will help you. Don't shut them out. One day at a time, that's all you and I can do. The feeling of not wanting to go on, belive it or not, will dimish somewhat. You have a huge family. let them help. I had the very same feelings but I would hurt Stanley deeply if I wasn't here. Damn, life does suck sweetie. Love You!

February 16, 2009

HONEY, I AM SO HEART BROKEN!! I KNOW THAT I SHOULD BE HAPPY THAT OUR ANGEL IS WITH YOU!! AND NOT IN PAIN ANY LONGER!! I JUST DON'T KNOW HOW TO LIVE ANYMORE!! I KNOW THAT I HAVE TO FOR TYLER AND LINDSAY BUT I DON'T KNOW IF I WANT TOO!! I JUST CAN'T SEEM TO GET IT TOGETHER!!! LIFE HAS BEEN SO DIFFICULT SINCE I LOST YOU AND I FIND MYSELF QUESTIONING EVERYTHING!!! I AM NOT SURE OF ANYTHING!!! NOW I FEEL LIKE I AM IN A DAZE AND AGAIN NOTHING MAKES SENSE!!!! NOTHING!!! I JUST KEEP SEEING THAT LITTLE ANGEL OVER AND OVER IN MY HEAD! PLEASE I BEG YOU TO HELP ME AND OUR FAMILY FIND SOMEWAY TO CONTINUE THIS LIFE!! IF I EVER NEEDED YOU, IT'S NOW!!! ALWAYS YOURS, ME

February 11, 2009

Honey,
I know you snatched him as soon as you got a glimpse!! He's so beautiful and there's no better place outside my arms than yours!! Oh, honey I know that hearing him say "daddy" for the first time is a prayer answered!!! I am so jealous but envious!! I can't wait to be with you both!!!! Love each other!!! I know that everyday that passes I will be one day closer to you!!! Please continue to watch over us and ask God to give us the strength to live without you both!!! Daddy remember the other two lost little souls that long for you and help them have a good life, let them know somehow, someway that it is going to be okay!! Let them feel your presence and know that you are with them always!!! Always yours, Me

Judy Werner

February 7, 2009

Lynn- I am so sorry on your loss of little Timmy. His daddy was waiting for him. Timmy is happy and in perfect health as is Kendra. I hurt so much for you. It is just so hard to lose our loved ones. I will ask my Timmy to look over your Timmy. God bless you and you are in my prayers. Love

{Daddy,s Little Girl}If I HAD my life to do over,I'd have chosen you to be my DAD once more. Even if it meant losing you again,It's worth all the tears in the world. You were my sunshine when skies were gray. I loved you and honored you; You took all my tears away. I was happy to be with you,Proud to be your little girl. Sometimes we would argue,But to me you meant the world.Your love was always pure; Your time here was all too short and I feel so alone.What can I take from this? My heart is completely crushed. But nothing LOVEDis ever lost-And you are LOVED so much. FOR LINDSAY A. EMERT FOR SHE TRULY IS DADDYS LITTLE GIRL

Dear Lynn,
We are deeply saddened to learn of Benny's death. He proved himself to be a real man - loving, responsible, considerate and sensitive. We know your losing him is painful and incomprehensible. May the memory of his integrity, love and strength forever comfort you and your children. He will always be an inspiration.

Just want you to know that Ben was most definitely one of the Good Guys. A better man to talk to, have fun and goof around with I've not known. By the way, also one of the brightest, hard working men I've known as well. I'm a richer person having known him.
Be well

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Lynn,
My heart goes out to you and the kids. I know he was your whole world and everyone else's. Jason will be lost with out him. You know that we will always be here for you and the kids if you ever need anything. Benny was father to Jason and Cindy and with out him in their lives they would not be the people they are today. He taught Jason how to be a man and a great father and I am so grateful for that. I loved him and admired him for his strengh. He always knew how to make me smile when I was having a bad day or if I was mad at Jason.
Lynn, only you know how I feel on certain things So, I just wanted to say I appreciate you listening to me when I feel like I have no one to turn to! (you know what I mean) I just want to tell you thank you so much for all you have done for me and my family. I LOVE YOU!!!!!!

I didn't know Benny, but from what everyone else has said about him, it sounds like he was a great guy. I lost my mother-in-law a couple of months ago, and we're all still a little in shock. She was young, too--only 55. It hasn't stopped hurting--I don't think it ever does--but it will get easier with time. The best advice I can give is to be thankful for your remaining family & friends because they will be the source of your greatest comfort & help. I will keep you in my preayers.

Mary Lesousky

Lynn,
I was so sorry to hear about the loss of your husband. I think of your family every time I look at that sweet little picture that you gave me when Timmy graduated from VIPS. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

January 7, 2007

Dear Lynnie,
I so wish that I could ease the hurt that you are feeling right now. You and the kids all feeling a loss that others can only imagine and hopefully will never know. You are surrounded by love from those around you. Let them help you with the pain of your loss. Benny I'm sure is watching down on all of us and depending on us to help you and the kids get through this hard time. I am sure that none of us that knew him will let him down, he sure would not have let us down. Pray for help and you will recieve it,maybe not so as though you can see it at that moment but it will come.God is taking care of Benny now and one day we will be back with Him and with Benny. Who knows ,God will probably need a break from Benny by that time and we will take him from there.Think of all the things he will have saved up by then! Lord help us all!!!
Love and prayers,
Lonnie

May God bless you all in this time of sorrow. Be assured that He and Bennie will watch over you today and tomorrow. I'll miss Bennie's special greetings as he drove up or down the street when I was out in the front yard. He'll be missed by many and I am thankful that I was able for a short time to know the warmth of his humor and kindness.

With deepest sympathy,

God needs beautiful flowers and he definitely has one named Benny. As beautiful as rainbows are-you can never see one without first having the rain. Benny will be missed by all of God's children. Lynn, may you take comfort in knowing Benny knew the depth of your love and the depth of your carring. All my thoughts, love and prayers are with you and your family.

My Brother, My Friend, My Partner
Life wont be the same, but you would not want me to mope. So many things we shared, yet, so many things I regret not getting around to. You always were there for me and mine when I needed someone to talk to and someday I will be able to thank you. You always gave me a spark when I needed it, your energy and humor was a gift you shared with all of us. Hopefully I can carry just a little bit of you with me although right now I can barely think about it without losing it.
We may not understand The Plan, but today I am so mad at God for taking you away from your family and friends now. Someday...
Take care of Mom & Dad & Jessie, they always relied on you...
Lynn, I love you guys and cant express my sympathy for the boys and Lindsay and you. I will always be there for you all.....
Ben, I wont say goodbye old friend,
Just later.......................

Lynn & children, we are deeply saddened at Ben's passing. The world was a much better place because Ben was here. We will truly miss his laughter and smiling face. Ben was a devoted husband, father, son and friend. He was a true friend in every sense of the word. Our family shall miss him so much. Especially Tyrone who shared a very special relationship with Ben. He is lost without him. We can only hope that through the love and support of family and friends, and through Gods comfort, that in time the tears will turn to smiles and laughter as we remember what a truly special person Ben was and how privileged we were to know and love him. Without a doubt we all know where Ben is now and hope that you take comfort in knowing that we all will join him some sweet day. Our love and prayers are with you. Love Tyrone, Robin & Family.

No person is a failure who has a true friend-because of Benny there are many successful people in this world! Benny was one of the most carring and generous people my family has ever known. Our lives were blessed to have him and his family in it. Although his family and friends loved him, the Lord always loved him most. May we delight in knowing he is enjoying enternal life with our Lord and Savior. (Thanks Benny for all of the great memories-until we meet again). May the Lord carry your family through this most difficult time.

With Heartfelt Sympathy,

A small child looked at a star
and began to weep.
And the star said,
“Child, why are you weeping?”
And the child said,
“You are so far away
I will never be able to touch you.”
And the star answered,
“Child, if I were not already
in your heart,
you would not be able
to see me.”

Thinking of you
at this time
and extending heartfelt
understanding and sympathy.

Our deepest sympathy go to to you and your babies. We never know what God has planned for us and like my papaw said, "Bennie's heart was just too big for us here on Earth". He will be dearly missed. If there's anything we can do, don't hesitate. Love you all very much,

Cindy Brown

January 5, 2007

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
