Mary, We were so sorry to hear of Ben's passing. He seemed far too vibrant to be gone so young. He epitomized following his passions, yet still found time to do so many thoughtful things for others. It was our good fortune to have counted him a friend. We hope the service for him is comforting, and all the wonderful memories you have of him will give you comfort and courage as you carry on without him. Our most sincere sympathy to you, your daughters, and their families. You will all be in our thoughts and prayers. Sincerely, Jeanne and Allen WellsPark Ridge, IL 04/10/2012 4:11 PM
