My condolences to the family. I am sorry to read of your loss. May the Almighty God (Psalm 83:18) comfort you during this difficult time.

Claire, my sadness about Ben is tempered by the kind of servant he was to his savior. Deep sadness is for those who never committed to Jesus; for now, Ben awaits what we believe to be the impending realisation of his return. My best wishes to you during the adjustment to his absence.
