My dear Madolyn,
I am so sorry that you have lost your precious Ben. Words can't express the peace that you must feel - just knowing that he's at home with Jesus, or the pain of losing such a wonderful son. Just try to remember that his pain and suffering is over and that you'll spend eternity together some day. So many mother's can't say that about their children.
My love and prayers are with you,

Madolyn and family,
May our Lord continue to hold you up as He embraces Ben in a very special place reserved for him. I am sure Mimi has already given him a hug,
Love,

My dear Madolyn I know your heart must be breaking but you gave Ben the two greatest gifts in the world. The first gift was bringing Ben into this world and loving him as much as you did. You taught him so much and you raised such a wonderful and loving young man. Any mother would be proud of him. You loved him unconditionally and would have done anything for him. You have always proven that especially over the last few years. You always thought of him first and then of yourself. You were the best mom ever. The second gift was the hardest of all and it was letting Ben go so that he could be with God. I know how hard it was for you to let go but just know that God will take care of him and God knows how much you love Ben and he won't let you down. Ben did not leave this world without the love and support of a wonderful mother. God knew exactly what he was doing when he gave Ben to you. Just know that I love you and I am praying for you.
