It won't be the same without Ben Jr. He was a good man and loved his family. He always kept family gatherings lively. So, I'm doing as the Christ told us. At Mt. 6:10 he tells us to pray for God's Kingdom to come, his will be done on earth as it is in heaven. I'm so looking forward to seeing Ben Jr. again in PERFECT health when Jehovah's Kingdom comes!
