Danny, Jenna, Ronnie, Lauren, and Tina. My thoughts have been with you ever since I heard about Benjamin's passing. No words of comfort are strong enough, I'm sure, to ease the pain, but I wish you all great strength in your grieving.

Dear Wellner Family,
On behalf of the Oak Park community, we are all mourning for you. There are a lot of people that you don't know personally who are praying for you and your family. I think about you all of the time and hope that you and your family are doing okay. Wish there was more I could do for you. I will keep praying that you are getting through this.

Dan, Jenna and Simon,
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. There is probably not much you can hear that will help, but for all it's worth, you should know that we are all thinking about you during this difficult time, and are here for you in any way, most of all in prayer.
With love,

I think of you often
and make no outward show,
But what it means to lose you,
no one will ever know
You wished no one farewell,
not even said good-bye,
You were gone before I knew it,
and only God knows why.
You are not forgotten
nor will you ever be,
As long as life and memories last,
I will remember thee.
To some you may be forgotten,
to others a part of the past,
But to me who loved you dearly,
your memories will always last.
Nothing can be more beautiful
than the memories I have of you.
To me, you were someone special,
God must have thought so too!
If tears could build a staircase
and memories a lane,
I would walk all the way to Heaven,
and bring you back again.
-Anon.

Jenna, Dan and Simon and beloved grandparents and great-grandparents, Aunts, Uncles and cousins - There are no words to express the grief we feel for all of you, each in ways so similar and so unique as Benjamin was unique.

Dear Jenna, Daniel and Simon,
Aspen and I are deeply shocked and saddened that we will no longer have our Benjamin with us. Aspen's greatest times of his life has been with his Glasser Preschool buddies. And even now that I write my words, I have this memory of Ben at Aspen's birthday party playing "star wars" with Casey. Ben is our little angel watching over all our children--especially Simon. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Love, Amber and Aspen
