Ben, Your sense of humor has carried on. We still laugh when we talk about you, and the things you said and did. Like when you and Steve went bike riding and you drove right off the side of the cliff. Even though you were bleeding and bruised, you were laughing at yourself.As for me you were such a big part of my childhood. We were country kids. In the summer we all ran around barefoot, and went swimming in that nasty creek. What were we thinking? You have left us with great memories, and I think thats what living is truly about.Even though your time with us was only 28 years, you lived a full life, and touched so many along the way. We all continue to go on, but as you can see we are still hurting. We know you are at peace, and that eases our pain. Please continue to watch over our family.

Steve, Jackie, Steven and Jackson Pannell

Son,

The little Tot helping me fix my motorcycle (grease all over your hands and face, but Mom understood),the young boy who came walking up the road from Denton Creek, with so many sandbass slung over your shoulder, we spent two hours cleaning them! And you skinning your first deer from your moms clothsline pole. The last camping trip we took together, just you and me. I'll always remember and always miss you.

love,

Ben, What a time it has been. Although I didn't see as much of you as you got older cousin, I can still remember when you were just a scrawny little kid! We lost my Mom in September and it has taken us all by surprise. Do me a favor, find her and tell her I love her and I miss her. Let her know that I did the best I could to help make it better for her. I hope she liked the service...and the Pastor, he was a God-send to the family. Keep an eye on all of us down here. We miss you all terribly.

To the Crawford Family:

We want to let you know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers at this time. We only want to let you know that Ben was a great neighbor to have, as he was always ready to help anyone in need; even our son Joey, when he cut his foot wide open. Ben carried him home and even offered to drive us to the hospital. Keep all of your wonderful memories of him in your hearts.

You were a kind, caring young man who always had a smile and touched all of our lives in so many ways. You were our son's best friend and you will always have a place in our hearts. Our morning breakfast will not be the same without the bisquit watcher, the sausage turner. Rest well dear Ben, you are in God's arms.
