The first year after Benjamin's passing is near. And hearts are still very tender. There is no timeline for grief, no end-date for loss. It lessens eventually. But then it hurts differently. His family loved him beyond measure and grieves extra hard on days like his passing, his birthday, holidays, special times. We love you Mitch and Rhonda and the whole family and your pain is shared by 100's of us as we honor Benjamin. On the calendar on my fridge, it just says, 'Benjamin Temple went to be with Jesus this day in 2018.' Thank you Jesus for taking care of this man loved by so many and left earth too soon!'

Mitch and Rhonda, we can't express how sad we are over the loss of Ben. I remember him as such as sweet and cute kid. Since he was your son, I'm sure he was a beautiful, spiritual and talented adult. Carlus and I are praying that God will envelope you both in his loving embrace to comfort as only He can. Although we haven't seen you in a long time, we hurt with you and love you very much. Thank goodness we're all a part of the same family and will have a great family reunion some day! Won't that be a fun day! Much love to you and your family, Ann Gupton
