I just want to say thank you to the Parents of Ben. I had the pleasure of meeting Ben when he was visiting Childrens National Medical Center. He also put a smile on my face when he would come pass Pharmacy and share his "Harry Poter" Jelly Beans with us. Thank you for such a wonderful, bright and sweet spirit, that we call Ben. You are in my prayers.
