Benjamin Bonham Obituary

Benjamin Curtis Bonham May 5, 2007 Our precious little boy Benjamin will be greatly missed and never forgotten. He came with a spirit too big for this world, and touched so many lives during his short time with us. Benjamin was born and returned to his Heavenly Father May 5, 2007. Survived by his parents, Brandon and Emily; siblings, Rebecca, Joshua and Janie; grandparents, Richard and Annette Curtis, Brent and Robin Bonham; great-grandparents, LeGrand and Patricia Curtis, Phillip and Linda Rasmussen, Robert and Donna Brewster, Stan and Anne Bonham, Clarence and Emily Andrus; many aunts, uncles and cousins. He was preceded in death by Lloyd Stone (great-grandfather), Rachael and Rebecca Curtis (aunts). A graveside service will be held at Holladay Cemetery on Tuesday, May 8th at 12 noon.

Brandon, Emily, and family,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. It was so comforting for us to recieve a card from you while your are also going through a horibly difficult trial. We have recieved so much comfort from the spirit, and are so excited to know that we will be able to raise Gabriel one day, just as you will be able to raise your precious baby. It seems so unfair that we have to endure the rest of our lives without these beautiful babies, but we need to remember that they have truly recieved "the Crown Without the Conflict". If you ever need anyone to talk to or to cry with, I will be here! We are praying for you and your family, Ryan, Kay,and boys

Brother and Sister Bonham,
You don't know us, but we know President and Sister Bonham and are serving in India with them. They told us about your "celestial" son. Surely Father in Heaven is pleased that another of His sons could come to earth and be with such great parents if only for a short time. Knowing the eternal perspective and of His plan somehow makes us do and think differently than the rest of the world. God bless you always.
Love,
Elder and Sister Pulsipher, Rajahmundry, India

My wife and I are sorry over the loss of your son. We too lost a son at birth, and know of the hardship you are experiencing. We know that your Benjamin will never be forgotten. I'm not sure that we know you, but my Dad is first cousin to Phil "Bud" Rasmussen, so I'm assuming that we too are cousins.

Dear Brandon, Emily and family
Our thoughts and prayers are with you . You are a wonderful family and we know that you will face this trial with courage and faith. Recently I (Isabel) met Rebecca and I was really impressed with her level of maturity and understanding as she told me about her new sweet little brother that was coming. She is darling and reflects the upbringing in a good and strong family. May the understanding of this perfect plan bring you peace and hope that you will be together again eternally. We send you our love and sympathy.
