You were so strong, but I'm glad you are not in pain anymore, you are sleepin with grandma grandpa and your 3 sisters.. I love you uncle I hope your happy. Love jonathan

My deepest sympathy to the family of Ben. That is who I will always remember him as. Ben his sister Marie and wife Linda and Me carol raised our families up togehter. What fun times we had. Marie and I lived right next door to each other. I have not seen Ben in years. But the wonderful people they were will never be forgotten
My heart goes out to the whole family. And if there is any thing I can do. Please feel free to call. Soon we will one again be together with the lord. And what a wonderful time it will be.love you always

Spending the last 4 days with you was one of the best things I could have ever done. Seeing you bare with all the pain you had to and still you stood strong through it all. Loosing you hurts the most but knowing that you are no longer in pain puts joy in my heart. It hurts to see you go at such a young age but your no longer in pain brother, I wish we could have had more time with each other but it was your time to go. I will forever love you and miss you. Sleep with the angles peacefully. Give mom and dad a kiss for me.

Love always your sister murff

Love your little sister

A couple of words for my brother Ben. You've left this earth but you have a lot of love in a lot of hearts. I will always remember special times in our life. Like when I was little, you used to catch grasshoppers and pull the legs off. You chased me with it. I was such a crybaby, screaming and freaking out. You felt bad and gave me a hug and said its alright. I wasn't scared anymore. Now our mother can give you a hug with the tenderness that you deserve.
Love always your sister

You will be in our hearts forever, In loving memory.
Love your sister Grace, Bob, Tiffany, Tisha and Rae Ann

Nino, I will always remember your strength, bravery and unconditional love. I take comfort in knowing that you are amoung loved ones in heaven. I will hold the memories that I share with you very close to my heart. Your unshakable courage has touched the lives of so many, including mine. You will be greatly missed but never forgotten.  
Love always your niece/goddaughter

In our minds we always knew 
this time would come to pass.
But knowing it, and living it,
has come and gone so fast.

Goodbyes are often hard to say,
they hurt so very much.
Though you're not gone You still remain in the minds, hearts, and lives you've have touched.

Love Always your niece
Nicole

TO A GREAT FRIEND,A VETERAN AND A BROTHER.YOU WILL BE MISSED BUT NOT FORGOTTEN,TAKE CARE OF YOUR SISTERS THAT ARE ALREADY THERE.LOVE YOU BRO

These are challenging times for my Family.
There may be some difficult days for them along the way.
I want to be there to help.
Please don't let my own fears get in the way.
Sometimes I may not have the right words to share.
I may feel insecure and not know what to do.
Please guide me ...let my love for my family
teach me what they need.
Let my greater self come forward to serve this higher purpose of helping and healing.
May my loving prayers be heard and manifested for healing.
On difficult days or other painful memories 
May my love and the love of the Infinite surround, embrace and strengthen my family.
May the Healing Light of the Infinite find its way to them and be directed to all the places that need healing
And make them whole and healthy.
May they be surounded with your Protective Healing Light
May your hand rest gently upon them and may they
feel your presence
May I, too, know your presence so I can gather the strength.
I open myself to your guidance.
I breathe in trust ... goodness ... and peace so I may share it with the family I love so much.
May my family be healed. 
May my family receive the gift of peacefullness and wholeness.
May my family be free of pain and suffering.
May my family
recover fully through your mercy, grace and kindness.
May the memory of  my Uncle Ben they love so dearly come without pain and suffering.
May your blessings find us in this higher place of love and sharing.
And heal us.  
Peace, Prayers and Blessings

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, Love leaves a memory no one can steal.  I will remember  My Dearest Uncle Ben who i adore my hero the leader of a family who gave us more and more. There were so many lessons Most important how to fight and to be proud of who we are and to stand up with all our might. The day i came to see you Determined to give you strength. Refusing to believe anything could hurt you. At least not to any length. Your time with us was wearing thin. You grinned and bared the pain. I knew that I was losing you and still the pain didn't matter. You fought, strained and clung to life you are the strongest man i know. That is what I'll remember. Your Strength, Bravery and Your Love with that caring wise and watchful eye that now peers at us from above. I Love You so much my Uncle.
                                 Love Always,
                                           Dominique
