Ben was a hero in every sense of the word. His determination and strength were an inspiration to me as a member of his care team, and the love that you surrounded him with was amazing.

Ben was the strongest little man I knew. I loved his attentiveness, how he watched and followed. You knew your presence and I loved seeing him in his little socks. Rest in peace sweet little man. You are forever in our hearts.
