Benjamin Scot Bryan

Marsha,



I am so sorry about Ben. It's at time like these that family and faith can provide comfort. I know this because me and my family helped by sister, Kim, in getting through a similar situation over the past year.



Take care,



Greg, Karen, Ashleigh, & Christopher Hendricks

Dear Marsha, Cole, Jaci, Aunt Nan, Uncle JC, Alan and Doug,



My prayer for you during Ben's time in the hospital these past 5 weeks was for God to be so close that you could just reach out and touch his face. I continue to pray that you will find peace and comfort and that God will continue to surround you with his loving arms.



When I heard of Ben's passing on Sunday, one thought came to mind...isn't he lucky to be able to see Mamaw again. I know Ben, Mamaw and Pappy are having a wonderful reunion.



I love you all!



Melanie

Ben was a young man that we consider

a blessing to have known and we are sure that he will be greatly missed. Although we will not be able to be there, you will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Marsha & Family...



My prayers are with you in this time of sorrow and reflection. Ben never failed to amaze me with his passion for everything he did. We are all blessed to have known him.

Marsha,

Mike and I never got a chance to know Ben personally. Our loss, but we were privileged to hear him sing in church. Words alone cannot express our sadness in you and your family's loss. We will continue to pray for you and all your family during this difficult time. Only our Lord can give you the strength to endure life without Ben.

Marsha: Just a note to let you know our thoghts and prayers are with you. Ruth and I have just met Wayne and Luarie sinc ethey have come to serve in our church. They have kept us up to date about Ben and our

prayers and thoughts are with you. What little we know of Ben has deepened our faith and what an inspiration he is to all around him. I say is because his what a legacy he is to all who knew him, and by knowing him lifes have been changed and will continue to be changed.

God bless you and keep you and your family in the palm of his hand. Monty & Ruth Tucker

Marsha,



God takes the best one's first. Ben left an imprint on your heart you'll never forget. God has him now, he will no longer suffer. May the Lord bless you, Cole and Jaci and the rest of your family as you continue your journey in faith and in Ben's honor. God promises the best is yet to come and Ben is experiencing God's glory first hand.

Marsha and Family,



Loss of a loved one is not easy to understand but our faith, family, and friends help us through these difficult times. As a classmate of Ben's, I remember him fondly as kind and fun to be with. My thoughts and prayers are with you and know that he'll always be with you in spirit.

Marsha,

May the grace of God give you and

your family peace and comfort. My heart goes out to you.

Dear Marsha and family,

I went to school with Ben from grade school on and I remember him as a kind and humorous man. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Those who have spent time among us are never truly gone..they live on in the hearts and minds of those they touched and influenced...

Marsha,

My thoughts are with you and your entire family during this time of loss. Having known Ben since we were children, I know he was a fine man, husband, and father.

Marsha--



My heart goes out to you and your children, to Ben's parents and to yours at this awful time.



I knew you as a little girl (I published that adorable picture of you at age 6 catching a snowflake on your tongue). I never knew Ben, but I know from mutual friends of his courage as he fought the demons that assailed him. I also know of his love for you and his children.



I pray for some measure of peace for each of you in the days ahead. May the love of God surround you and keep you.

Our deepest sympathy to the family. The Lord must have needed another flower for his bouquet. Our prayers are with you.

Such a gift to everyone who knew him. Taken from family and friends too soon. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Marsha, and your children and family.

Sincerely,

Margaret & Stuart O'Connor

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
