To ben's family,
I just found out moments ago what happened. I'm so sorry I didn't find out sooner. You're in my thoughts and prayers. I talked to Ben the day before I left for Afghanistan...he was a great friend and an amazing man. May God be with you through this.

Bradley, family. I feel the weight of your son's loss heavily. Please know that our prayers are with you during this difficult time.

To the parents and family of Ben...
Your son meant the world to us. Although we never got to meet any of you in person, we felt like we knew you because Ben spoke so highly and so lovingly of you all. He was involved in the chapel here at K-Bay and more so in our ministry (Cadence International). We saw him every week before he deployed. In fact, I remember seeing you both at chapel last Easter.

We are so sorry for your loss. We are praying for all of you as you grieve Ben's home going. I have no doubt that we will see them again... but just knowing he isn't here leaves a big hole in our hearts. We are praying for you...that God will comfort and strengthen you during the days ahead. We hurt for you and with you.

Love, Ray and Char Hauser

I was so sorry to hear about Ben. I didn't know him personally, but I heard a lot about him. My children and the Baughman children were good friends. Audrey is my daughter's maid of honor in her wedding this summer. The Potter's are also good friends of ours. My heart breaks for your family as well as for Audrey. I am so glad that he knew the Lord as his personal Savior.
In Christian Love,
The Hess Family (Will, Donna, Mellinda, William, David, and Joey)
