Sending lots of love your way

gentle mellow soul like father
brilliant loving generous soul like mother inspired us to get high on life without substances
a steady climber your whole life
you knew the way Ben ❤ RIP

I was saddened to hear about the loss of Ben. He was a bright and happy student of mine during my first year of teaching. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of the Kessel family.
