Ben how I wish you were here to talk to. You were so darn funny and such a good person. You always saw the best in things. I remember listening to that i can ride my bike with no handlebars song and laughing. There so many many little moments we had together I think of and smile :)
and then comes a punch of sadness to the gut
I hope you’re happy and not hurting
I hope you’re looking down on all of us and awaiting our reunion
Can’t wait to see your smiling face again
Love you and miss you

Oh Maureen...words cannot express my sorrow for you at finding out about Benjy's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I remember a precious little boy laughing and running up and down our little hill. May you find some comfort in knowing that he is at peace now. Honestly, I just don't have the words to express my sorrow for you but know that I will be sending prayers of comfort for you. God bless you and your family.

If I could've given you one thing in life, it would've been the ability to see yourself from my eyes. Then you would know how special you were. You made this world a better place!! I love you and miss you Ben.
