Dear Linda, Emily and Amanda,
We are so very sorry for your great loss. Benny was such a big, powerful man, it is hard to believe he has been taken. The terrible ordeal of operations and therapy you all endured with him is an inspiration to the rest of the family. The knowledge that his suffering is at an end offers us meaningful comfort. Please know you are in our prayers.
Dan, Karen, Daniel and Timothy
