Mr and Mrs Neville, When Ben would come into the office for his visit, we had this connection. I told him he has a voice like Elvis, every since then he would smile and laugh, Ben would ask Mrs Jacque do you have your blue suede I would smile and you better believe I have my blue suede shoes. Every since then we become friends Ben made my day, and I made his day. Ben I will not ever forget you, my friend you will always be in my heart. When wear my blue shoes at work, I always think of you my friend. Rest In peace Mr and Mrs Neville you will always be in my prayers. Mrs Jacque

- Jacque Tootle, Savannah, GA

Ricky and Lisa, We know that “Life isn’t measured by years, it’s measured by the number of lives you've touched along the way”, and we are sure that Benjamin touched many hearts. We know in our heart and mind that he is “With the Angels”. May we all take comfort in knowing there is one more Angel above us. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal; love leaves a memory no one can steal. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. With caring thoughts, Ed and Sandy Cole

- Cassandra Cole, Cumming, GA

I was Ben’s teacher in middle school. He was such a sweet boy. I always enjoyed working with him. He was quiet but had a good sense of humor. Even as he grew older, he would shyly say hello. I could always count on a smile from Ben. He will be missed. I am so very sorry for your loss. Just know that others will miss him, also.

- Linda Fidler, Savannah, GA
