Dear Sal, wish I could be there but will be overseas with work. However, I can hold the high watch from Europe since there is no time or space in God.:) I am sure it will be a beautiful ceremony and a fitting tribute to the unique and courageous soul that Ben was, is and ever shall be. Many blessings, Steph xxx
Hi Sally,

Ben was my second cousin and although I haven’t seen him since we were children I have many memories of going on holiday together with my grandparents and visiting the nursery where they used to live. I am deeply saddened to hear about Ben and I wish you and your daughter my sincere condolences. I will be thinking of him and you and the rest of his family next Friday xxx
Hi Sally,
Chris and I will be coming. We will be bringing Wendy Bamford with us. Wendy used to work with myself on the nursery and knew Ben well.
Jenny
Hi Sally, I’ll be there.

Hi Sally,
This is Diane – David’s cousin. I was so shocked and saddened and really upset to hear about Ben but very moved and humbled to read Ben’s blog . You have both been so brave and strong throughout this ‘journey’. I shall be at the funeral together with my father Bryan Edge, and look forward to meeting you there.
Thank you
Hi Sally, I’ll be there as will my mum, Pauline.
See you on Friday,
