My dearest Ben. It's been 14 years. No matter how many years go by, I still love you and miss you. I wish so many things, but most of all, I wish you were still here. The world was robbed of a funny, sweet, smart, kind, amazing man. You will always be a great love that got away. You are always missed.

Hi Ben, I've had you on my mind the last few days so I thought if I wrote you a note we would both feel better. I think of you so often but one thing for certain we will never forget you nor the sacrifice you made for all of us & we are truly grateful for you. Rest well son & we will see you again in the future. Love you Granma.
