    I am praying for your family. Ben could make anyone laugh and I remember the times we all spent together fondly. Ben never met a stranger. I still have friends that ask about Ben that met him once 10 years ago. My heart hurts for you Jessica and for his family. I can imagine Ben walking through the gates of heaven, making those around him chuckle at his humor. We will miss you Ben.
