Dear Ruth, Jeff, and Michelle.
I'I remember the day in grade 5 at the little Horndean School when Ben became one of my best friends. Later in grade 9 or 10 Ben and I accepted the Lord the same night in our little Mennonite Brethern Church in Horndean. Later in Winniipeg Bible College, as it was then called, it was a great pleasure to meet you, Ruth, and fondly remember the great times we all had together. Then in 1960, when Ben and Ruth and Dennis and Ruth got married, our friendship continued and grew as or families joined us. Wonderfull and Blessed times. Yet we are reminded that 'this world is not our home and that we are just a passin' through,' and it hurts. Ben was like brother to me and inspite of the distance between us these last years, it didn't diminish my love for him.
Ruth I know the love you and Ben shared and will miss hm terribly. Thank you for the long and loving care you gave Ben. Ben is enjoying his reward already and we won't be far behind. God has been so good to us. Thank you Jesus.
Blessings, Ruth, to you and your family, in Jesus' name. Dennis and Suzanne
