Tomorrow, November 29th, is the first anniversary of our dear friend, Ben's passing.  We think of him often during this past year and we miss him dearly.  Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with the Diu family;  Jess, Dexter, Brendon and Liana.

I often visit Ben's burial site and remember the great quality person he was.. his legacy lives through his family and his friends.

Please take a moment and remember him this week, and give his family a call.

To Jess and Family,
We were so saddened to hear recently about Ben's passing.  Ben was a good person.  We were very fortunate to have known him.  We remember the last time we talked to him, he was telling us about a soccer story and he made us laugh so hard.  These are the type of memories we will always cherish about him.
May he rest in peace.
Ed, Rosy, Kyle and Brandon Chin

Celebrating a life well lived. We will cherish the memories forever.

Our deepest sympathy to Jess and the family for the loss of our good friend Ben. Even though our meetings are always short and far in between, Ben had always been a good and sincere friend to me and my family. Our prayers are with you at this difficult moment. 
Rest In Peace Ben.
Dominic, Rose, Lester, Oliver & Chris

Dear Jess, Dexter, Brendon, and Liana
We are so very sad for your loss.  It's ours too as we will miss his passion and support during the boy's soccer games. We'll also miss one of the few dads who can keep up with the kids during the Father/Son game. Hope you will find peace and comfort in the memories of love, guidance and caring that he gave to his wonderful family. These are precious and everlasting. Please be sure to let us know if we can help out in any way.
Love and prayers,
Khoon, Grace and Brendan

Dear Auntie, Dex, Bren & Liana, Uncle is gone but not forgotten, it's ok to grieve, but don't forget to laugh and smile about all the great times and great memories.  
It's so true that absence makes the heart grow fonder and that we don't really know what we have until it's gone.  
I miss you Uncle and I know that you'll always be watching over Auntie and the kids and we will never forget you.  Miss you and love you lots.

We are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts are with you and your family.

Dear Diu Family,
May God be with all of you during this tragic time as he is with your dad, your husband.
I didn't know Ben long, but right away felt this was a man and father of considerable substance. Believe me, your family has been admired by many from a distance and I am sure that Ben has instilled his excellent paternal skills upon Brendon. God must have needed a helper.

We will be together again.

Dear Jess, Dexter, Brendon and Liana.  We were very sad to hear that Ben had passed away.  We will always remember him as being a very kind person always supportive of his family and friends.  It won't be the same watching our children's sports without him there.  He will be missed and always remembered in our hearts. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.
