We never did get to meet. We had a lot of conversations about life and similar experiences. The last few years you always took a moment  to check in and see how I was doing. I wish I had checked in with you more, you deserved that so much more than you know.  Your energy will continue on forever.  May you find peace and love in your travels. I know there’s a creator embracing your spirit with love right now. 💜
You had become so important to me as you helped to plan our honeymoon. Â I loved our chats, and I miss you terribly. Â You are beautiful, inside and out. Â Thank you for coming into my life. Â Love you mucho.
So very sorry for your loss,.
Ben we had so much fun swapping stuff for Disney…us setting you up with Disney pins you showing us the new spell cards. So many fun chat about everything Disney and Harry Potter. Though we didn’t get to spend much time together in person just a couple hours here and there we sure used up data chatting. May your soul fly free and return with all the knowledge it learned this turn of the wheel.
You will be missed and I truly wish we had gotten more time.
You will be greatly missed my friend. We know that you will always be in our hearts.
