May God Bless You All with wonderful memories and peace of mind to know that you have a angel watching over you always. He sounded like a wonderful guy here on earth. I can only imagine his presence in heaven. May God give you the peace that you need to move thru this kind of loss.

Benji was one of the sweetest kids you'd ever want to meet. I haven't seen him or the family in quite awhile and was so sorry to hear of this tragic accident. God Bless You all and I'll keep you in my prayers.
