It's so hard to accept that's its been 16 years since you've been gone. The heartache is still as raw as day one. I miss your smiles,your ability to make me laugh when all I wanted was to scream, our clutziness and laughing at ourselves and each other,your generosity and kindness. You always saw the good in everyone and you had such a loving heart. There are no words to describe how much you're missed. Love you to the moon and back x 10 my sweet BenBen. Watch over us all and protect us until we're reunited. Miss and love you so much.
Love,
Mom

Ben, I realize after looking that you were born on my son Jack's birthday, but sadly you passed away on my daughter's. You were so cool in high school, I'll never forget Mr. Finner and how much fun we had. I know you are at peace with our loving savior but I know how much your family misses you! May you rest in peace! See you when I get there!!

Please watch over us and keep us healthy and safe!

Ben, another birthday is here....your 33rd. I see your picture in my living room everyday before I start my day. I see the feathers you leave for me often, letting me know that you know I am thinking of you - and telling me you are there for me. My memory is long.
I know your spirit is still here...watching over me and the rest of the family....but we still miss seeing you everyday.
Knowing you are at peace is what comforts me.
Thinking of you today...and always.
Love, Aunt Karen
October 19, 2013
Ben,
I think of you often. I will never forget the day you were born. You were beautiful. I will also never forget the day when I say you in the hospital,on life support. My heart broke, but I knew you would be alright.
You and I had the same beliefs and I knew that the Lord took you home to easy your pain. Your suffering was over, but not ours. This family has lost someone so precious and I miss you.
Love you,
Auntie
June 25, 2013
Was a beautiful day today, just like the day you were born. I was over the moon when I had you, so beautiful,so perfect in every way, like your new nephew Gabe. I miss you so much every day, life will never be the same but I am comforted by feeling your spirit with me. Please continue to help guide your brother in staying on the right path and watch over the boys. Happy 32nd Birthday my angel.
Love you forever,
Mom
June 25, 2013
Ben,
I can't believe it, you would be 32 today. Time does fly when it comes to birthdays, yet when our loved ones are gone, somehow that time passes so slowly. I miss you very much...but I am comforted knowing your spirit is here watching over me - and others. Thinking of you always and Happy Birthday. Love, Aunt Karen
December 25, 2012
Another Christmas without your bright smile and laughter. It was a nice day but not complete. I thought of you so many times today and our Christmases past. So many memories but too short
in time.You're in my heart always and I miss you so much. Please keep us all safe and watch over your brother.
Merry Christmas,
Love you BenBen

The day you died a part of me died with you. Its been five years since that day but the heartache and tears are still so fresh. I think of you and miss you every single day. My only comfort is knowing you are with God and that heaven is beautiful and you have so many others that I loved with you. Please continue to watch over us my sweet angel, especially your brother and keep him on the right path.
I miss you and love you Ben Ben.

Four years have passed since that day God took you home. My heart still aches every morning when I wake and realize its real and not a dream..you are no longer here w/us. I know you are at peace my son and happy and full of smiles but damn do I miss that smile. I miss the calls, the way you made me laugh, the joy you found in small things in life. I miss everything about you. Some days are just so hard and I wonder how can I go on? I can feel your presence and smell your cologne some days and it gives me such comfort to know you're here w/me in spirit.I hope you like your plant it will be so beautiful when it blooms...just like you my natural beauty.I miss and love you so so much BenBen.
Love you always and forever,
Mom

My sweet son Benjamin, 30 yrs ago today was such a wonderful joyous occasion for your father and I,the first of two most precious days of our lives. Who would have ever foreseen the sadness we have come to know since that day you left us. You are the first thing I think of when I wake and the last as I close my eyes. The only peace I have is knowing you are with God and no longer in pain and that one day my precious angel we shall be together again. You touched so many peoples lives in your short time here and left a void nobody will ever be able to fill.I miss you so so very much. Please my son watch over us all and keep us safe and please help your brother to choose the right path in life. I love you BenBen more than words could ever express. You are forever in my heart.
Love you always,
Mom

Wish heaven had a phone so I could talk to you again. I thought of you today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too. I think of you in silence. I often speak your name.All I have are memories and a picture in a frame.
I wish we could chat on the phone via heaven, you always knew how to cheer me up and make me laugh n smile, always :-).
I can't believe its been 3 yrs. my angel. The pain is still so fresh,I miss you so much every day. I know you are at peace and heaven is a beautiful place but that doesnt stop the emptiness I feel. I love you and miss you every day my BenBen.
Love,
Mom
December 26, 2009
Another Christmas without you :-(. It was a very small celebration this year.How I missed your laughter, your smile and your joy in sharing your favorite holiday with family. It just wasn't the same,it never will be and that makes me so sad. I Miss you so much BenBen.
Merry Christmas my Angel
Love,
Mom
October 19, 2009
Another anniversary and yet the pain of losing you is still as excruciating as the first day.
I woke this morning and smelled your chew and smiled. Dad and I saw a young man who resembled you so much today it stopped us in our tracks. I knew you were with us today, as you often are, but yet I cannot reach out and touch you my precious son. My heart cries for you every day and it probably won't ever heal til I see you again. Please watch over us all especially your brother and keep us all safe.
I MISS YOU SO SO MUCH BEN BEN.
I love you,
Mom
June 25, 2009
You loved birthday parties whether it was yours or someone elses...you always loved a good celebration. I miss you so so much with every passing day. I miss that million dollar smile and the way we could make fun of ourselves and laugh til our stomachs hurt. All the wonderful memories of you make me smile through my tears.I hope your 28th birthday in heaven was a delightful one my sweet angel.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEN BEN
I love you,
Mom

Happy 28th Birthday, Ben. I saw a feather again yesterday-a reminder. It has also been raining and cloudy for weeks now-but the sun came out today for just a few hours. I sensed that you were saying hi and letting me know that you know I am thinking of you today. I miss you and love you very much, my dear nephew.
Love, Auntie Karen

Ben, I have been thinking about you alot lately....and reminisced with Nanny on Christmas Eve day about what a happy little baby you were and how Christmas just isn't the same without you. But I know you were with me....I saw the feather on the floor in the hall of my building. Miss you lots. Love, Auntie Karen

Ben-I was thinking of you today and I just want you to know how much I miss you. I wish I could have said good bye and told you how much I loved you before you were gone. I remember the times we spent doing things together, running around and having fun, you were such a good friend. I miss you all the time. I love you sweetie

Ben I am so sorry that I never had a chance to say goodbye to you properly! You will always be a part of my heart. You are yet another angel watching over me in heaven. I have been struggling lately, almost picked up the other day. Thankfully i had another friend come nack in my life and it helped me to remember as i so often need to how much i need to keep myself going. I will always keep you in my prayers my friend!
PS i had life saving surgery back in March.
Your friend, one day at a time, Bill Walsh

My Darling Ben,I was thinking of you today,as I do every day.But for some reason imiss you terribly today.
You were such a big part of my life from the time you were born,such a beautiful baby, and a handsome child.
My life, and the lives of your family will never be quite the same.You have left a stamp on all our hearts forever.My only comfort now is that your pain, and anxiety are gone, and you will never have to suffer again. I know in my heart you are safe and happy in heaven with God. We are the ones who are suffering.I take comfort in kniwung that I will be with you in the near future. Until then I will always love you,you are always in my heart and prayers.You would be very proud of me to know that your computer illeterate grandmother finally did this all by herself, mistakes and all.
God Bless you and keep you in his care.
Ilove you so very much.Nanny

Ben, today is a difficult day for all of us-your 27th birthday. I can't imagine how your mother, father and brother are feeling today-especially knowing how sad I am. I have some great memories about that day-your grandmother coming home and waking us all up early in the morning after being at the hospital all night with your mother. I remember she had the biggest smile on her face and tears in her eyes saying "it's a boy and he is absolutely beautiful". I was the happiest Aunt in the world that day. I remember rushing to the hospital to see you-your grandmother was right-you were the most beautiful baby I ever saw-with your big blue eyes and blonde hair. I couldn't believe you were already smiling! Your mother was so tired, but so proud. That's how I will always remember you, Ben-beautiful and smiling. We all miss you very much. Happy Birthday, Benjamin Bunny. Love, Aunt Karen
May 11, 2008
Ben,
Today was extremely rough for me. Becoming a mother is one of the most wonderful and beautiful experiences one could ever imagine, but today I am so sad. If you weren't home w/me no matter where or what was going on in life you sent a heartfelt card and always called me. "Hi Mom Happy Mothers Day...I LOVE YOU!!"
I knew today there would be no card, no call, there would be no "Hi Mom" that I long to hear. Instead I visited you my BenBen. I Miss you so much.
Love,
Mom

Ben,
My first Easter without you..another first of many things without you. I found your tales of Benjamin Bunny book that you got when you were born. You thought that book was written just for you... :-). Remember the Easter Auntie Ellen made the big giant bunny footprints for you and your brother that led to your baskets?
I hope you like your little cherub.
I miss you so much my BenBen and pray you are watching over us all especially your brother.
Happy Easter my awesome son.
Love you always and forever,

I was devistated to hear of Ben's passing. He was a remarkable young man that made a lasting impression on everyone he met. I know I will always remember him fondly. My thoughts, prayers and wishes for healing for all that is involved go out to the friends and family of Ben. We now have another guardian angel to watch over us.

I never imagined that last year would be our last Christmas together. I am so thankful though that you were home here with me. I never imagined not spending a Christmas without seeing you,it was your favorite holiday. No matter how old you got you were always like a child w/a new toy on Christmas. All smiles,so grateful,so content. I cherish the memories of each and every one of them.Today was so empty w/out you. My heart ached so much to put that snowman on your grave. I just never thought we wouldn't be together on Christmas.
I miss you so much my BenBen.
I love you
Merry Christmas My Angel!!

In my dreams, you are alive and well
Precious child, precious child
In my mind,I see you clear as a bell
Precious child, precious child
In my soul, there is a hole
That can never be filled
But in my heart, there is hope
Cause you are with me still
In my heart, you live on
Always there never gone
Precious child, you left too soon
Tho it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever..in my heart
In my plans,I was the first to leave
Precious child, precious child
But in this world, I was left here to grieve
Precious child, precious child
God knows I want to hold you,
See you, touch you
And maybe there's a heaven
And someday I will again
Please know you are not forgotten until then
In my heart you live on
Always there never gone
Precious child, you left too soon
Tho it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever...in my heart
Miss you so much my BenBen
Love always,
Mom

Ben, I remember the day Nov. 29, 2006 that you made Steven and I go out on a date. {Fratinize} Still to this day we are very much in love with one another. Benny Boo I used to think I could talk you out of everything. I miss your smile and your kindness to others. Our long talks. The day you called and asked me to be your sponser. Or what about the time you wanted to come to the house and ride the pigs and cows in the backyard. I am so upset that we never got to say our last goodbyes Ben... When we heard the news about your sudden death we cried. Ben you had told me you were doing great the next thing I get is an obituary of you. Our Hearts go out to the family and close friends of Ben. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Ben, WE LOVE U AND ALWAYS WILL. Please watch over us with the angels. Love always Serena and Steven
October 31, 2007
Ben,
I remember your first Halloween. Auntie Ellen made you an awesome angel costume and you looked so precious with your sparkling halo on top of your golden curls, running door to door w/wings that were practically bigger than you. Such a sweet memory my gentle Ben but such a sad day too. Seems you have grown into those wings and way too soon for us but you are a true angel now my dear son and I know you are happy where you are. Please watch over all of us, especially your brother and know we will always love you.
Love, Mom

Ben, I can't believe that you're gone. I wish that we had spent more time together. I've known you my whole life and it's just hitting me really hard knowing that you're gone. I've tried really hard not to show it, but I just can't keep it inside anymore. I really miss you Ben, but I know that you're not in pain anymore and now you're with Maggie Doodles. I hope you have all the peace that you have ever wanted Ben. I love you man and I miss you. I will never forget you.

I’m so sorry for your loss and just want you to know that my thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I know that you already miss Ben more than words can say. As you draw strength from each other to get through this difficult time I hope that you are comforted by all the happy memories of time spent with him. I’m sure that he sees each memory that's recalled and is smiling with you.
The special people that touch our lives, no matter how long or short a time we have with them, leave an imprint within our hearts forever – like a special gift. When they are gone we can only miss them, remember the part of themselves they gave to us, and be thankful.

My dear nephew, there are so many great memories I have of you, remembering you as a child...looking like an angel...your first words, your first steps...watching you learn, and explore this big world...time passes by much too fast...life is so precious and so short. There were so many things for us to do, so much to say...but God had other plans for you. I pray that he helps you find the peace you have always searched for...I miss you so much, and always will. I love you Ben, and promise to be here always for your mother, father, brother and the rest of the family. God bless you.
