I feel for your great loss. Before Bill and I were married, Ben was always teasing me about anything ( nicely and with that little chuckle). After Bill passed, if I was in hospital, Ben visited me several times. I have always liked Ben,he was a good man. Jacob made the comment :Ben and Bill are talking in heaven and watching over us,always. Hugs and love, Vicky
