Ben will always remain in our hearts.

I am so sorry for your loss. May the Most High God comfort you as you mourn the loss of your loved one. (Psalm 83:18)


It is never easy to lose a loved one, I pray you find comfort in God's promise found at John 6:40 which says that soon we will see all our loved ones again. My deepest condolences to the family.

May the peace of God be with Mr. Harkin's family & friends as they mourn.
