Your mother threw you a wonderful 21st bday balloon release. Your family and friends all gathered again to say they love you, miss you and cant wait to see you again!Your mother described you as 'larger than life'. I honestly cannot think of better words to describe you. Look down on her and all of your loved ones until you are together again.

Lauren and the Family of Ben Judware, Heaven gained another angle when Ben passed.. He was a fighter, and left a little piece of himself in everyone he met.. I considered Ben one of my very few REAL friends.. My prayers go out to all of the family, and Ben is in a better place, even though I wish I could have went to the gun range with him one more time, and I have all kinds of great unforgettable memory's with Ben..I hope you all take care and if you all need anything let me know. Lauren, whenever you have time, no rush, whenever is good for you, send me your phone number please bc I would like to take some flowers or something.. Anything I can do! My prayers and many other are with the Judware family.. R.I.P. BROTHER.
