Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends that Ben's life touched. We certainly know he touched our lives, and was the best friend anyone could ask for. So many memories are floating around in my head - and everyone of them was Ben laughing, smiling, saying something to make you feel special, and doing his best.
