Not sure what to say?

Diddy, not a day goes by that I don't think about you and wish you were still here with us, but Lord knows your in a much better place! I'm greatful for the times we shared and the lasting memories I will always keep. Whenever I'm feeling down I just think about you and ALL the good times and I can't help but smile. Love you bro, always and forever. Q&L

Always missed but never forgotten. You are such a beautiful soul

Ben was a very wonderful man! He could light up a room with his smile. Pull anyone out of a bad mood in 2.5 seconds & most importantly be a great friend. He always had wise words to share. I love you diddy & I'll see you when I get there. Your family remains in my prayers & I know, for today & the last couple months in general, you'd be very proud of me! That's all that matters to me.

Kris,
Praying peace and strength for you from the memories of BJ you have and that others will share with you in the coming days.
Love you, Tracy

When I think of BJ the first thing that comes to me is that smile...BJ was always looking to find something to smile or laugh about...his heart was full of laughter and fun. Thankfully as he went through one of the toughest stages here on earth fighting the battle with cancer...he was able to be with the ones who loved him...and able to laugh & smile thru the tough days...the pain and bad days are behind you now BJ, you are home. I will miss your laughter and smiles...see ya when I get...

Have alot of great memories with Ben. My condolences to the Arim family with battling this terrible disease. Ben....will be missed greatly.

Matt, We are so sorry for the passing of Ben. We are thankful he is in heaven with Jesus and look forward to meeting him someday. Praying for strength and peace during this difficult time.

I'm glad that you aren't suffering anymore, but I miss you already. Look out for my mommy and daddy up there, I have asked them both to welcome you and take good care of you. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. <3

Bill and Kristin, I am so sorry for your loss. Ben was a special man and fought hard. You were both an amazing support for him. God Bless.
