Sincere sympathy to you dear Lesta. Please try to keep in mind that, in Reality, life is eternal; and dear Ben is with our father/mother God. And please get in touch if there's anything with which I can help you during this in your life.

My deepest condolences to Lesta and family. May God bless you all now and at this time especially.
