My dear long lost cousin, I will never forget that once in a lifetime evening and afternoon we spent with you and Ben. We did not think it would be a once in a lifetime event, but we are so thankful that God gave us that time together...and the wonderful shrimp that Ben cooked with his own loving hands. God be with you and give you peace, as I am sure he has given Ben peace from suffering now.
Love always,

Donna & Children, Ben was among the Greats. I met him during WW-II. We were in Radio School together. During our Railroad years I would see him at meeting in Rocky Mount. He had a built in smile and had an outgoing personality. He made a world of friends. Just want you to know that you are on our minds and in our prayers as you try to adjust to a new way of life without him.
Sincerely,

Donna, I am so sorry to hear about Ben. He was one of my favorite relatives and I have many fond memories of him at the Sunday table eating Mama's fried chicken. Please know that you and the boys are in my thoughts
