[jeandiver]

My prayers go out to the family and friends.

And my thanks and prayers go out to ALL of the recovery divers/personnel. I never have been in the cave at Vortex , but reading thru the posts , I thank the Lord that all of the recovery divers are safe.

I lost a good friend last year in Ginnie. Nuff said.

I've been friends with Ben for 8 or 9 years. He was someone who was almost always smiling. He usually could make you smile too. He had an infectious laugh.

He is also the reason my 30th birthday is the one I will always remember most.

Ben you have touched us all.

We miss you.

Toughts and Prayers to Ben's family and friends. And prayers for the recovery workers for a safe successful recovery operation.

It's been a week since Ben was reported missing with no resolution on exactly what happened. I'm sure the not knowing has been very trying on his friends and family who are still searching for answers. I hope everyone continues to keep them in their thoughts and prayers.

There are no proper words to convey how sorry I am for your loss of your dear friend and family member Ben. No doubt the situation made that much more difficult without solid answers.
I pray you find comfort in knowing he was, obviously, so well loved by those who knew him best.

[Darth Diver]

Will pray for them.
