- Update from Erin's most recent Caring Bridge Post (Donations to the family can continue to be made at this site):
Our amazing Ben stepped from this earthly life into his eternal life on January 2, 2023 at 7:15pm. We were playing worship music and he seemed really comfortable and at peace. Our hearts are just shattered but we do find comfort knowing that he is in such a better place where there is no sickness, sadness, or disease! He is in the loving arms of his Heavenly Father! We will forever cherish the time we got to have him with us.
When a memorial service is set, we will post that information. Thank you for loving on us all so well through this journey. We are forever grateful!
“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:35, 37-39
“Indeed, God is my salvation; I will trust Him and not be afraid, for the Lord, is my strength and my song. He has become my salvation.” Isaiah 12:2
“Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die;” John 11:25
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.”
2 Corinthians 1:3-4
