There are so many emotions that I don't know how I feel. I'm angry with the world. My brothers meant so much to me. I believe that God knows best and I except that it was their time to go. I just pray to God and to my brothers to give my mother strength. I don't want to lose her too. I can't bare the pain and the sufferring she is going through. The biggest pain is the lose of a child gone to soon and my mother has to endure double the pain because she has lost two of her children. In my heart there is a big emptiness that could never be filled. I am no longer a whole person without them. I thank God for giving me this time with them. My memories of them will be with me forever. Their smiles and there bright eyes I see everytime I close my eyes. I do take comfort in knowing that they are together in heaven and they are finally at rest. I want to thank everyone for there support and there love. Our family has suffered a big blow but we will overcome and we will seek justice for Benji, Harry, and our family.

I guess there are no words to express what I am feeling. The pain for one brother was unbearable, but for another brother to be taken from us is a bit too much. I haven't had the change to understand what happened with Harry and why. I don't now how to feel with this whole thing it’s something that hasn’t set in yet, I can’t begin to imagine what that rest of the family is feeling, but as for me when it does set in I only hope for some sanity and I also hope I can get though it with ease. I can only pray for some understanding of life… Life is rough now a day and it can destroy you.

God Bless My Brothers always

My deepest sympathy to the Baez family. Its so devastating to hear not of one, but two losses so close in timing. As they say - the pain will diminish, but the wounds will never heal. I hope God gives you the strength go on.



Jenny - I'm greatful that I was able to be there for you, and comfort you in your time of grief. I've always considered you a great friend!! Deep down inside i truly believe Benji was a good husband to you, and you made him a happy man.



May he rest in peace - eternally.
