Benjamin James Scharding

Ben crossed my mind today. We were friends at Lighthouse Brigade and I want you to know his memory is alive amongst his peers. I hope healing has found you all.

Cindy, Bob, & Dylan,

I think each and every day about Ben and cannot imagine what you must be going through. Every time Ben crosses my mind, I am sure to say a prayer for all of you with the hopes that somehow you will be ok. I know that it will all take time and there are no words to help right now, but, please, know that you are in my thoughts and prayers each day.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. May you find peace and comfort, and know that the joy Ben brought to others is not forgotten. Blessings--

Cyndi, Bob and Dylan,

I pray for you daily to find the strength and faith to deal with the devastating loss of Benjamin. May your happy memories stay strong so that you can treasure them always. I will continue to pray for you all.

To the family with deepest sympathy. My heart goes out to you all. You may not remember me but I was Ben and Dylan's swim instructor about 8 yrs ago or so. Even though it has been so long when I read the paper and saw his picture it was devastating. He had the same wonderful smile that I remembered. I am also very sad for Dylan as I remember they were very close. He will always be remembered for the great person he is.

May the Lord help heal your broken heart.

I lost my only son last year in a tragic accident.

It's a long road, may God grant you strength like He did and still is doing for our family.

Cyndi, Bob, Dylan, Cary and other family members:

Our deepest sympathies during this difficult time in your lives. It's hard to make sense of why tragic things happen. We are praying for you and your family that God comforts you and gives the strength to get through this. May God bless you and keep you safe and know that others care and love you all very much.

Dear Bob, Cindy and Dylan,

Although we are far away, our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

Our family has lost someone special and exceptional and yet, he will always be with us in our hearts and memories from all the ways with which he touched the lives of those around him.

With much love and sincere sympathy,
Alexander, Travis and Sallie
