You were there through the best parts of my life. I'll never forget the times we had just hanging out in the old neighborhood with not a care in the world. My thoughts go out to Kristine and the Cabacungan Family.

We met in the past 2 years and for a time and a wonderful time it was, Ben, some others and I were inseparable friends. Its only now I can feel the void and tend to replace it with the fondest memories and biggest smiles. Ben, I know your watching over us all now and may you rest in peace homie! God Bless.

My prayers go to Auntie Elsa, Uncle Ben and Kristine
Knowing you guy for as long as my family has, we have collected a lot of great memories. Many of those memories were set in stone when I was a child, and now stand as a foundation of how I look at the meaning of “Family”. I believe family is not limited to those with the same last name but is an endless connection between many families that create one huge family.
I am privileged to say that I consider Ben and the Cabacungans as a part of my family and always will. I love you guys. Ben has touched many of our lives with his sense of humor and a smile that says a million words with out saying one.
Ben you will be missed my friend and all I ask is to save me a seat at the table, till I get there and don’t hog all the lechon. God bless
M.O.C 4 life

Auntie Elsa, Uncle Ben, and Kristine:
You have always been a part of my family and so losing Junior was like losing my little brother.
Doon Doon is in a better place now. He doesn't have to live in this violent world. God made him a guardian angel. He will speak to us when we are lonely. He will give us guidance when we are lost. He will defend us against the bad things in life. God has made him more beautiful than we have ever seen him in this world. And one day we will all be together.
I hope that God blesses your family for the rest of your lives, and that you will be healed from this tradgedy. I love you all. Please don't hesitate to email me. Anytime you need me, I'll be here.
Long live Ben's Memory and M.O.C.!

Dear Cabacungan Family,
I did not know your son Ben but watched as car after car pasted me on Lonestar Rd on your way to lay him to rest. I was so touched be how many young people were in line and how very sad they seemed that I begain to cry for you all. Today as I have read the many notes of love and kind words to your family about Ben my tears will not stop. I too would like to add my love and prayers for your family. My our loving Father in Heaven fill your hearts with sweet peace until your sadness turns to wonderful happy memories of your special son Ben.

I want to send my deepest condolenses to the Cabacungan family. I attended Stanton College Prep with Ben and Kristine. Although I did not know Ben on a personal level, I am truly saddened by his loss. My prayers are with his family and friends. I know that this is a very difficult time for all who knew him, but I do believe that he is in a better place watching over all of us. May God bless the Cabacugan family in their time of grief.

I worked with Ben for several months and we became fast friends. After I left our mutual employer Ben was one of only a few friends that I did take from there. Ben was always working to improve himself and I have become a better person by following his lead. He will be missed.

To ninang Elsa and ninong Ben, my deepest sympathies to your family. I miss Jun Jun so much. I'm thankful that I was able to grow up with him. Without him, my childhood wouldn't have been as memorable as it is. I'm glad to have a godbrother like Jun Jun. He will truly be missed by everyone, but he will always remain alive in our hearts. We haven't lost him, we've gained an angel to watch over us from the heavens. Kristine, godsis, I'm always here for you, don't hesitate to call. God bless your family.

Ben, Elsa & family:
John and I know your family Pete & Beth & Jason through our son and daughter-in-law, Paul & Josephine DeAngelis. Although we didn't know your son well we wanted you to know at this time how saddened we are for you and all of your family. It was such a sensless and tragic loss and we can't even begin to imagine how you all feel. We can tell you our hearts and prayers are yours and we do know that Ben was a wonderful son, brother and cousin who will be missed forever, and although he is in his heavenly home with God he will always be with you in your hearts. God bless you and your family and God bless Ben, Jr.
