What memories of Uncle Ben I have...ALL GOOD! The last time I saw him was on Good Friday, last, when I was privileged to serve The Sacrament of Holy Communion to him, Aunt Peggy, Doug and Lynda and Chip. it was a sacred time when we all recalled the Supreme Sacrifice made for us all through the death of our Lord and expressed gratitude to God for this most gracious Gift. We expect to be with our Lord, Uncle Ben, and all who have made preparation to be with Jesus, our Savior and Lord, and Live forever with all we love so because we have been loved so.

Jesus said, "I am the light of the world". So thankful Uncle Ben knows the Lord...and that he will be ushered into the gates with honor.

We send our love to the entire family and rejoice that this is but a passage~~Yeah though I walk through the "shadow" of death, I will fear no evil...it is but the "shadow" of death. Only life everlasting for Uncle Ben. With loving thoughts for all who will miss him so much...especially to you, Aunt Peg....Rob & Cindy and family

Doug and family, In the short while I have known Mr. Cornell from The Highlands, it was readily apparent that he was a loving man of character. Please know that my prayers are with you. May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories as you celebrate the life of this man well lived.
