Linda,
My deepest sympathy on the death of Ben. It was my privilege to have been his, Mason and Jacob's counselor and to have gotten to know you. Your sons are the reflection of the generous, creative and compassionate person you are. I can't imagine the profound grief and sorrow you are experiencing now. I will keep you and your sons in my prayers.

Linda, I was so sad to hear of Ben's passing. He was such a sweet, personable young man. Although I didn't know him long, it was a pleasure to have been his dentist. He will be dearly missed.
