Dearest Mr. & Mrs. Garcia: I can’t even begin to put into words the joy and happiness your son Ben brought into my life and all the lives around him which he touched. A few years ago, I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Ben through one of my very close friends, Jenny Estabrook, and right off the bat me and Ben became friends. He had such a great personality and after just a few mines of conversation you would have thought we had been best friends for years. I don’t recall exactly what it was that we were discussing, but what I do distinctly remember is how much I was laughing. He had such a positive and realistic outlook on life, and he had something funny to say about everything. Ben was one of the most wittiest and humorous individuals that I have ever had the pleasure of knowing, and he will be deeply missed by all. As his parents you must be so proud of the son that you raised, knowing what a huge impact he made in the lives of so many individuals that that came into contact with him. I would like to offer my deepest heartfelt condolences for the loss of Ben, and I am thankful that I had the pleasure of knowing him. Words cannot describe the grief and sorrow that I have felt and continue to feel after this tremendous loss, and I cannot even fathom the heartache and pain that you are enduring at this time. However, please rest assured that my entire family will keep you and your family in constant prayer that, the Lord will comfort and ease your sorrows in the days, weeks, and months to come. Life will never be the same without Ben, but I thank God for the time He gave us to enjoy Ben. It is my hearts desire that Ben and I will meet again one day within Heavens gates. Eddie Sahakien
