As I sit here thinking about you all on this very difficult day, it breaks my heart that I cannot be there for you. Please know I am there in spirit with an aching heart. It is so hard to understand why someone is taken from us, especially a child, but find comfort in knowing he leaves a gift of memories in exchange. Hold on to those memories and let them guide you during this time of sadness. I wish I could take away your pain but am here for you if you want to talk. You all remain in my thoughts and prayers! God Bless!

Dear Ben, although I didn't know you well I can say that the few times I've been in your presence you were kind, funny, warm and such a gentleman. You will be missed by many in this life. Know that we all find comfort that you are now with so many loved ones. Keep an eye on your family and hear our prayers. God bless you.

Chris, Margie and family,

I was saddened to read in the Naperville Sun of Ben's unexpected death. I have many memories of driving him and Susannah to the WDSRA events and how much he enjoyed going. I hope that in time you will be able to remember the joy he brought to your family and those around him and smile again. We are all praying for peace and comfort for you at this difficult time.
