Not sure what to say?

My deepest Condolences to Family and friends. I searched for you, but not to find you where I could not find you. Be in the Shadows and underneath Our Heavenly Father Wings. Love you..blessings

Ben, many things have changed since you transitioned. However, one thing is the same that is you are still loved and missed by your Cousin.

Remembering her from high school on the last class reunion we had. You were with your friend Candi. Made me laugh a little. I remember when he was a Hall guard he used to tease me walking down the halls. It´s really sad to see so many of our classmates and some of our friends who have passed away. Just lost my Niece Cindy this week. She was only 61. Well have a nice time with all your family in heaven.

TO NATE AND FAMILY;
ON BEHALF OF THE MEADOWS-SOLOMAN-LYTLE FAMILIES; WE WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT TODAY AND ALWAYS... WE SERVE A MIGHTY GOOD GOD! THE SAME GOD THAT YOUR PARENTS SERVED UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF THE LATE REVERENDS MONROE AND WASHINGTON, AT MOUNT OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH (COBURN STREET AND SLOSSON)- BE ENCOURAGED. TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL OF YOUR HEART, AND LEAN NOT, TO YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING, IN ALL YOUR WAYS, ACKNOWLEDGE HIM... HE WILL DIRECT YOUR PATH. THE LORD IS OUR LIGHT AND...

To Ben's family and friends.

I was a classmate of Ben's at Central High, class of 1957. He attended our 50th class reunion in September, 2007. We all knew he was not well at that time. It is so great that he was able to attend along with Candi.

My prayers are with you all.

NATE:
MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
REMEMBER ME FROM SCOTT AVE. YOU USE TO BABYSIT ME.
YOU KNEW ME AS BRENDA DENSON.
I AM NOW KNOWN AS SMOKE.

To Nate, Marci and Family,

I was so sorry to hear of Ben's passing. He was truly a great man, a joy and generous soul to so many. As I've said before, some of the days of my life were spent with Ben Thurmond!
My deepest sympathy,

May your memories of Uncle Ben remain forever in your hearts.

We will always remember you from Brownleigh Court. Ben used to always have some type of poem he would recite and was always full of jokes. We love you and you will be greatly missed, from the Nash and Garnett Family.
