Dear Fouquette family,
Please know that we are so sorry for your loss; words cannot express our feelings for you, family and friends. Our prayers and thoughts are with you. Love, C. LeRoy Erickson and Laurie Raymond
I am so sorry for your loss. Please know that there are so many mourning with you and keeping you in our prayers. With deepest sympathy to you all.
I am so sorry to hear of this tragedy. My children Randy Kasper and Cody Evers played ball with Ben several years ago. I remember that he was a wonderful guy. We will be thinking of you and your family.
I am sorry to hear of your loss. May God comfort you at this difficult time.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this very difficult time. I didn’t know Ben very well, but his presence was great at BHS. I am one of the secretaries in the front office at BHS – while Ben was a student at BHS, he was known for his wonderful attitude and big smile. He will be missed greatly.
Dear Tom and Lisa and family,
We just got home from Ben’s “Resurrection Mass.” It was a beautiful goodbye – inspiring and moving. Like the writings on Ben’s blog which I have been fortunate to recently discover. Ben was a sweet young man. Kory is lucky to have him as a buddy. Our prayers and hearts go out to you now and over the coming weeks and months.
Lisa & Tom,
Our sincere condolences. Our hearts hurt for you. You and your family are in our prayers.
