Dear Gardner Family,
I was a classmate of Ben Lewis and I often tell my 16 year old daughter funny stories about our days at Lillington High School. He was my very first boyfriend in 6th grade and I wore his friendship ring proudly. We shared the upbringing of a hard working farming family and all that kind of life entails. We all envied Ben Lewis' 1973 green Camaro with the custom white stripe on the side compliments of Tony Mangum's body shop in Coats. Like yourself; I will always have my photographs and memories.
I am so sorry for your loss,
Teresa Johnson
