Dawn Rash is a cherished friend, and I was sorry to hear from her about Ben's terrible accident. I'm so very sorry for your family during this devastating time. I have been praying for you, Faith, Katy, Krista, Heather, and Jeremiah. I've especially thought about you, Jeremiah, because I have a son your age. I'll continue to pray that God will be your Comfort and Provider during these days of missing your husband and dad. I'm so sorry for your loss.

I hope God will bless and comfort you and your family during this difficult time. Ben was a very positive person and it was always good to speak with him. He recently gave me a word of encouragement and I will always be thankful for that.

I was deeply saddened to learn of Ben's passing, I will always remember our 'guitar sessions' together in the backroom of Inspection at US Airways.
We shared the love of music and our guitar heroes were the same. I'll remember too his smile and cheerfulness. My deepest sympathy to his family and friends. I will miss him. God Bless you Ben and keep you in his care.

I am deeply saddened to hear of Bens passing. Although I have not seen or spoken to Ben in several years I always smile when I think of the great times we shared while working together in Greensboro. Ben made this world a better place and will be sorely missed.
God bless.
