Everyone has been in my thoughts and prayers all week. I have so many memories of Ben, one of my favorites is when he was about 4-5 and I took him and Jesse trick or treating, we stopped at a house and the owner came out and said "trick or treat smell my feet" at which time Ben proceeds to get down and do just that. I smile every time I think of that. At Jesse's wedding just a few short months ago, Ben came right up to Craig and I, and even though he had not seen us for years, said you are Craig and Laura and gave me a Ben hug, I will wrap myself in that hug for eternity. I pray for everyone in Bens life, all family and friends. Craig and I love you Dan and Helen!!!!

Prayers for Ben's family. Hold your memories close. Ben was shy but once he was comfortable around you he was hilarious and had a smile that could melt even the ice queens heart. He was loved by many and will be missed by many. I enjoyed working with him at the drive - in when Sandy had it. Sending a special hug for Helen and Dan. Very sorry for your loss.
