Mallie Kay,
It's been a few years since I've seen you and your dad but it seems like not long ago. My daughter, Jamie, was on Ms. Sylvia's "Wildcats" cheerleading squad with you -- I'm Ms. Ginger, remember me? You'll probably also remember that your dad and I would usually keep each other company at the practices. He was so easy to talk to--I remember at that time your mom was having alot of health problems and he was taking care of your grandmother (his mother) too while still working and keeping up with your activities as well. He sure did have a lot on his plate but I never once heard him complain--he was always so kind and compassionate and above all (without a doubt) he truly adored his "little girl"!
Mallie Kay, I just wanted you to know how truly sorry I am that you've lost your dad. My heart goes out to you and your family. He was a fine man and you were the center of his world. In the short time we were around each other your close father/daughter relationship was quite evident...and something you should be grateful for and proud of.
I remember you being such a cute, sweet, energetic girl -- having an amazingly bubbly personality. I'm sure you're becoming a beautiful young woman now and I know you couldn't have made your dad more proud. I can't imagine the sorrow you must be feeling...and at a time like this...no words can express what the hearts feels or make everything all right...only God, time, and the love of your family and friends will get you through this--and yes, you will get through this!
Your parents may not be here physically, but they will always be with you...in your thoughts, in your heart and watching over you throughout your life---MAKE THEM PROUD!!:)
I'm so glad our paths crossed
and we had the chance to know
you and your dad...
if you ever need someone to
talk to I'm a pretty good
listener and would love to
hear from you! 757-0532
You're in my thoughts and prayers,
Ms. Ginger

I was a high school friend of Benny's who will miss him dearly. We lost touch over the years, but he was never forgotten. He has always been in my thoughts and prayers as now will his family. I will pray for Kay as she rebuilds her life with the promise of the future.

Ben will be missed by many people. He was a very kind and considerate person. Always soft spoken and always had time to lend an ear. Ben is the type of person you never forget. He was a very special person. I feel lucky to have known him

To Ben's Family,
I've known all of you for so many years, and was always treated like family by all of you. Ben was my best friend for many years and I loved him dearly. He was there for me as well as his other many friends whenever we needed his help or support. I haven't seen a lot of Ben in the last few years, but I will never forget him and all the great times we had together. He will be truely missed. May God be with you in these sorrowful times.

Would like to say we are very sorry to hear of Ben's death,
He was such a kind and caring person,
He was always's caring for his child, and his mother in out standing ways.
I know it was so bad on him, after the lost of his Dad, then his mother being so sick, then his wife passing, but he was a great Dad to Mallie, as we say we are so sorry to hear about this. Rest in Peace Ben, you job on earth has been Done. Now take on Heaven as a lot of your loved one's are there!
And to the family especially Mallie, we pray that God will put his loving arms around you all and go forward remembering , the loss of a brother is devastinating, but he does have great rewards in Heaven.
Worked with Ben for years!

To The Etheridge Family,
I worked with Ben several years ago at Liberty National we both started at the same time. I remember Bens commitment to take care of his Dad and how he would go to Lunch at Kays School so often. He was a great friend to me during my time at Liberty and though we lost contact I would pray for him as he crossed my mind (that was often as I would remember his crazy antics) My prayers are with the Family and I am sure that all of Heaven is celebrating with a shout and a dance at Bens homegoing...... IN Gods Love, Troy Mimbs
