I remember when we were in 5th grade and Preston was ripping up Kleenex’s and I sat in between the two of you. Preston eventually had a humongous stack of tissues and you leaned over me and blew a short breath sending his tissue hill into an explosion. It was hilarious. Love you and miss you Ben, and I’ll see you when I’m old enough to understand.
Dear Son, We should have celebrated your 18th birthday on the 8th, but instead we remember you and lean on God for hope, strength and courage. We can’t wait to see you again. Love you, Mom and Dad
Hello Ben. I wish I knew all the great things you are doing in Heaven. We miss you so very much. We step forward each day with our eyes on Home. We pray it’s not a longtime in coming. You should be off at college now. Where would you go? Would you play soccer? What would you choose to study? Our hearts are broken forever. Please keep a blessed eye on Jack and Grace. We love you, dear boy!
Hard to believe 5 years have come and gone. There are no words to describe how much we miss you and all the joy you gave us. We keep our yes on heaven and await Christ so we can see you and Jesus and so many others again. So many other parents have lost children since we lost you….so many other broken hearts. May God be merciful to this broken world. I love you, son. Mom
