Dear Carolyn and Scott,
We are so blessed to have shared so much time with Ben. He is a precious, gentle little boy, who so physically resembles his Daddy. Ben loved his name, he so responded when you called him Ben. He loved to hear you read to him. This gentle boy was so loved by his Mom and Dad. Ben and Nora won the award for the parents, who spent the most time with them. You have blessed Ben with the gift of being loved.
Little Ben, I am so proud to be your Grandma Jo.
