    Our sincere condolences to Mr. Ben’s son, family, friends, and loved ones. Raymond and I were blessed to be his neighbors for three years. His kindness will always be remembered. Whenever he mowed his lawn, he mowed our front lawn as well and would not allow us to pay him. We hope to pay it forward and show kindness to others as he did to us. His light shined brightly on earth and his reward is in heaven. He was a very humble servant leader and we believe God is well pleased. Love, Raymond & Lisa Edwards
