Not sure what to say?

Thanks to all of you for your kind words. When Ben was sick, he knew that you were asking about him and sending your love. He appreciated that. To say he'll be missed is an understatement. There is a huge hole in our family now, but we'll have to fill it with precious memories of our brother. Missing and loving you, Ben. xoxo

To all the Taylor family my deepest sympathies upon hearing about Ben. When I think about Benny all it does is recall nothing but good memories. From grade school through jr high we were all lucky to have known him and shared experiences with him. From the back yard tackle football to the all day fishing excursions to the Sportsman club and general mischief we got into, yes we had a good time with Benny in company Rest in peace Ben.
