My Buddy,

I miss you ever so much that words cannot begin to say. You were a great gift given over to my care. For 9 years we travelled many roads together.
I received the gift of your family and co-workers. For this I am a very rich man in spirit and heart. You are my brother and always be. You'll always be my little Ben. We captured the wonder of our childhood and pulled each other through rough times. We became great men and we will always be that in compassion and care for those who suffer in spirit, mind and heart.

I know your heart, your inegrity and your desire to capture the beuaty of life and nature in the work you have done.

Yes, I hurt, but I will go, step by step, in greatest celebration of your existence here on Earth.

I walked with Greatest and his name is Benjamin.

Your Buddy and Brother - Don
