I want to give all the family my condolence. Ben will be dearly missed. My grandparents Ethel and Jesse Nelson lives next door. My papaw Jesse and Ben were best of friends before my papaw passed away in 2001. I knew Ben since i was a baby and i always called him uncle Benny as i was growing up and then i got married and had a daughter Shae which is 16 now and she grew up calling him uncle Benny to. Ben and his family were family to us. Ben was a great person and he is now in Heaven with Barbra and my papaw. I'm so sorry i didn't get to make it to the funeral. I was in a serious car accident.
I love you all and God Blesse
Love, Karen and Shae
