Read MoreI was Ben's first flight instructor and had the honor of soloing him at the ranch strip. He was the best primary student I ever flew with and although we lost contact before he earned his pilot's license I'm sure he became a fine pilot. I think Ben excelled at everything he did.

Mr. Fortson, Lisa and you only new me for a short time. I was Nanny to your adorable children and y'all welcomed me into your home. I was heartbroken to see you had passed so soon. I'm sorry my stay was short working for you and Lisa. Y'all were such a sweet family and I loved the boys. I grieve for your family. I know how much your precious boys will miss you. Rest In Peace
