I remember Ben as a caring and funny man. Ben would keep me laughing at work. With all of the laughter came wisdom behind all of his stories. Well, Ben like you always said,"if I die let me die with a smile on my face". Now you can take your rest Ben. Love you!! From Andrea

To The Family of The Late Mr. Benjamin Gethers,

Words cannot express our sincere sympathy in the loss of our beloved friend Benjamin. He has always been a friend of our family and community whom we have grown to know,love and cherish over the years.

We know that you will miss his but he has joined the heavenly home with God; He went back to be with our Father who art in Heaven.

Ben would not come back if he could so we will all cherish the memories that we have of him and pray for your entire family.

May God continue to bless and keep each one of you. We love you.

With our sincere sympathy,
Nancy, Gwen, Courtney and Henry Button and the Rosemont Community
