Eric, Anna & Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I know that the loss of a child is a hard thing to absorb as I lost mine at 9 years old. Only the Lord can guide you through this time of grief. I pray the Lord will give you the strength you need to be able to cope. Benjamin will always be in your heart. He has blessed so many lives during his short stay on this earth.
God Bless all of you.

Eric & Anna,
You don't know me, but I was forwarded a message about your precious son and have been following his story through Caring Bridge. My heart was broken when I read that he had gone home to Jesus. I can only imagine the sense of loss that you must feel. However, I hope you will find a small measure of comfort in knowing that your baby blessed the lives of so many people for the very short time that he was here. Even though I didn't know Benjamin, he has touch my heart and I will never forget him. He had such a struggle in his short life, but he is perfect in Christ now. May God bless you in your sorrow and give you peace in knowing that you will see him again.
