I think of your family often and truly enjoyed our interactions during my childhood. Fond memories of a wonderful family we so admired. I'm sorry to hear of Ben's passing, although I know his travels on April 22nd put him in the comfort of God's arms. May all of the wonderful memories bring your family peace.
