Benjamin Rice Aston

Rice was one of the finest gentlemen I have had the pleasure of associating with in the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution. He was sincerely interested in our very great Society. And, he was instrumental in obtaining the seed money to begin the effort to build and establish the Center for Advancing America's Heritage. His wise counsel will be missed.

Ursula,
Please accept our sympathies at Rice's death. His life is a model for many to emulate. May he rest in Peace.

Rice was such a powerful voice for patriotism as one of the Sons of the American Revolution and a Son of Texas. He will be truly missed. My deepest sympathies at this time of sorrow.

Ursula- You will remember that we first met when Rice installed me as President of the Athens SAR chapter. It was then that you and I discovered our common Hallettsville roots. I remember you both fondly and will miss Rice and his many contributions to our society.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort. I am still using the message that Rice delivered at Congress when he became President General. I had his permission and everyone just loves it. God be with you. Bob

My sincere sympathy on the passing of a great man from this earth to a better place.
