I am thankful to the universe  for sharing a part of Bens life with me. 

I am hoping that those closest to him may find acceptance. You have my sympathy.

My deepest sympathy over the passing of Ben. I will forever be grateful for his kindness and all he has done for me over the years. He will be missed. Rest in peace Ben.

I will always be grateful to Ben for the many times he guided me through some tough medical issues... menopause, chemotherapy, etc. and for his valued suggestions of ways to stay healthy, providing me with reliable compounded Rx, and just  always being there with an answer. The fifteen years he was married to my daughter, Charlene,  provided me a comfort zone I will always remember. Ben was a caring son-in law. I can only imagine the many people who will grieve his loss.

My heart is heavy knowing that we lost a such a great man. My deepest heartfelt condolences to Ben’s family, friends and all who loved him dearly. Ben gave so much of himself to others and left us all with incredible gifts. It will be the gifts he gave me that will carry me through even though I will always miss him and our talks at the pharmacy. Ben, you’re a lot to miss.  Peace.
