Dear Natalie and family,
Your dear husband and father was loved by many. I will miss his ‘smiles’ and jokes that he used to tell me, when he came into to see me for his pacemaker checks. He was always a happy person to take care of. May God comfort you and give you peace during this difficult time! I’m praying for you.
-Rachel (Nurse at Heart Specialists of Lancaster)

Dear Natalie and family,
When thinking back on the years of happy memories in the past that we have shared with Ben and the rest of you, I can only hope to believe that this is just the beginning for Ben. Life holds so many facets, this earth is only one. Ben will always live in those whose lives he touched, someone who is loved can never be lost.
Deepest sympathy and love,
Cono, Carol-Anne and family.
