Ben, how I miss you brother. My life would have been so different if you were still here. I will always love you and forever miss you. Your little sister Susie

Dear Dad, As the years have flown by, your absence is felt deeply every single day. Life has not been easy for me; it has presented challenges that often seem harsh and unfair. I work hard to better my circumstances, yet I often feel like I am falling short, and not always because of my own mistakes. Despite the numerous reasons I could choose to surrender, I keep pushing forward. I had no idea how deeply your loss would affect me, especially since I was so young when you left. I genuinely...

Wow! My condolences to your Family Ben. We grew up on Bond Street, Wilmington, CA! So many great memories growing up! Manny, you, Jamie and Junior playing paper tag, riding to downtown LA, and playing sports at Broad AVE Elementary! Rest In Peace Brother!

Uncle Ben, it´s been a while. It´s not December 14, 2023. I´m still in the Marines and I know that would have made you proud. Even though we have a common bond that the Marines are better than the Army. Haha. I miss you. I have two kids now. Layla (9 yrs old) and Jayden (8 yrs old). I know for a fact that you would have loved them and I know they would have with you in return. I´m going overseas soon. I´ll see you one day again but just wanted to provide you an update. I love you and I will...

Ben my friend have always been trying to find you and tell you hi and hear how you are doing. Rest in peace brother. I have always thought about you back in the service when we served in the Army I had met you in Fort Ord and we transfered and met again in Fort Carson Colorado. We met again and we helped me when I was down and took me in for awhile. Will never forget I had saved your number and when I called for help you were their. Now you are free brother. Just wanted to give my...

Ben,
Its sad to say good bye. I remember all the concerts & parties we'd go to. All the memories at home, you were too funny always imitating people and dancing. You were never ashamed to show your feelings & tell family you love them. God knew that last summer would be the last time we would see you & you shared all the love in your heart without holding back. I love you Ben....you've taught me alot. Funny how we think we're always gonna be around...I know I need to show more love &...

Dear Ben,
We have many happy memories of the times you and Maria, Janelle and Nathan spent with us in California. We were blessed to be able to spend the time together as family. The telephone calls and conversations, the music you played, and the time spent together as family that we all shared will be missed. Ben we will all miss you very much and wish that you were still with us. We love you Ben, Maria, Janelle and Nathan.

Love you always,
Jim and Candy, Israel,...

Dear Ben a.k.a. Moeman de NSW: well this is the last day to write in this book so I wanted to tell you that I was blessed to have you as my brother while on this earth. It’s funny how we take things for granted when we have each other. We had our good and bad times when we were kids growing up. As we got older we did a lot of fun and crazy things together especially in the NSW. I want to apologize to you for everything I said and did to you that may have hurt you. There was so much I wanted...

Mr. Ben Ponce,
At first I was a bit relunctant to meet you because of the stories your neice would tell me about you. But when I met you i knew that she was just giving me a hard time because you were very kind and friendly. I feel very fortunate to have known you. This is not a goodbye, but a see you later.
