It has been 2 years ago since my baby brother left us. He is so dearly missed. I still long to hear his voice and laughter. My heart will forever carry the pain of losing him.

Benj....It has been a year since you left me, baby brother. I miss your laughter, your corny jokes. I miss not being able to share our memories of our childhood and memories of our loved ones. Until Jehovah resurrects you, I will continue to keep loving your memory. Love your sister/sister...the looney one.

I will greatly miss my Uncle Ben and his larger than life personality. He was always joking, and always wondering when dinner was going to be ready (or where he could find the snacks). He was a wonderful man with so much love to give. I´m always going to remember how he brightened the room and made us cry-laugh with his stories. Love you so much, Uncle Ben. Rest easy.

Though in the recent years I was not very close with uncle Ben I do remember the time spent with him in past years. I remember the corny jokes, the football and his warm hospitality. I remember his face and the hustle to the kitchen when food was ready. I love and will miss my uncle Ben.

I´m going to miss my uncle Ben, he was funnier than heck, although some of his jokes weren´t very good, but a lot of them were really good. He was loving, caring, and a very sweet guy. Going to miss eating all those bologna sandwiches that we ate together! I love you, uncle Ben!

I'm going to mis my Uncle Ben, we laughed together, we fought with one another, and we watched a lot of football together. Uncle Ben used to say that every day with me was an adventure but those adventures wouldn't have been so great without him. He was a great person and easy to love.

Our deepest condolences to my cousins on the loss of our dear cousin, Ben. Although we did not see each other very often, I remember how sweet and gracious Ben was to us when we visited, as were all of you. Please know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers. Love, your cousins, Becki, Isidro and family.

As Ben's sisters we enjoyed being with him. He always had a joke to tell. We enjoyed cooking together, our contest was to see who made the better salsa and of course eating together. We loved our brother deeply, and we are truly going to miss him. We are going to miss the laughter!
