An empty place at the table

Tonight we sat down to our first family dinner this week. We politely told others that we would just be family tonight: it was time to regroup. And there were only six of us.

My many memories of Ben are almost always as part of the sensational Mulherin seven. I weep thinking of the hole that will be there when we spend time together. I miss you Ben.

Chris, Lindy y familia: muy dolidos por la despedida de Ben seguimos acompañandolos desde aca con nuestras plegarias.

El Martes 11 junto con todos los chicos de la pile hicimos una misa para rezar por Ben en San Martin de Porres y el jueves 11 publicamos dos avisos en la gaceta, puden verlos en:

Estamos tambien en campaña de avisar a todos los que deseen estar este dia en la misa homenaje que le haran a Ben.

Un gran Abrazo y mucho cariño.
Los queremos mucho.
Simon y Lucia.

HULLO. MY HEARTFELT SYMPATHIES TO BEN'S FAMILY AND FRIENDS. I DID NOT KNOW BEN AT ALL BUT READ OF HIS PASSING IN THE DEATH NOTICES. THEN WENT ON THE NET TO READ FURTHER ABOUT BEN. AND FAR AS I CAN GATHER BEN WAS A VERY, VERY BRAVE YOUNG MAN AND I'M SURE YOU AS A FAMILY MUST HAVE BEEN VERY PROUD OF HIM. I KNOW BEN HAS LEFT YOU WITH WONDERFUL MEMORIES. JUST HOLD ON TO THEM AND MAY THOSE MEMORIES BE OF GREAT COMFORT TO YOU. BEN IS NOW REJOICING WITH THE ANGELS AND IS IN A PERFECT BODY. IT MUST ALSO BE A GREAT COMFORT TO YOU KNOWING THAT BEN HAS GONE TO BE WITH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. TRY NOT TO CRY THAT BEN HAS GONE BUT SMILE THAT HE HAS BEEN!!!!! ABSENT FROM THE BODY BUT PRESENT WITH THE LORD------ WHICH IS FAR BETTER!!!!!!!! REGARDS BRENDA
