Benny, you were supposed to be at my 11th birthday on January 29,956 and had to miss it because you had to work. The next day I went to the store to buy the newspaper and you were on the front page after that crash. That day I will remember til I die. It was the saddest day. You are always remembered in my prayers. Rest In Peace, Benny.
