One of Ben's best friends died this this past Saturday November 28th. There are no words for how this has effected us! He was such a great friend to Ben. His wife is a great friend of mine, and there children are the cutest, sweetest kids! I just have to keep believing that there was something in heaven that needed only Brian. It has been very hard to understand why this happened, how this happened, and what kind of purpose there is for this to happen! We will miss you Brian! We are NEVER going to forget about you!
