marge , rich, and Claire...yup Claire get's capitalized. I am so sorry, Ben was such a fun person and just completely his own. I keep remembering all the mud pies we made when we were little and playing in your tree house, and of course, the epic Fourth of July's. I am amazed by your strength and ability to see God in everything that has happened. You are all amazing and an inspiration to where faith can take you.

Dear Richard, Margie, and Claire,
My heart broke for you this morning when Wayne told me what he had just read. i still see Ben as that sweet, skinny little boy in Sister Tess's room who won my heart the first time I met him. I'm sure Tess was there to welcome him home to Jesus. i wish i could be there to give you a hug but know that our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love,
Martha and Wayne Render
