Todd Benjamin Obituary

May you rest in piece uncle

Sending my love to you and yours, across the years and the miles. I don't have the words.

Dearest Benjamin family there are no words to express our deepest sorrow for your sudden loss. I know the pain of your hearts. We will keep all of you in our thoughts and prayers during what I of all people understand too well right now. I know what fine young man he was just in the short time I knew him and up bringing of his loving family. I know Mark will take care of him in heaven. We love all of you very much.

Dear Benjamin Family, I was saddened to hear of the sudden loss of your husband and son. I knew him really as "LCpl Benjamin" through F Company, and had the privilege of serving with him both in the Carolinas and most recently overseas. I was always impressed at what a fine, dependable Marine he was - well-respected and loved as a brother by his peers; I can only imagine what a great husband and son he was. We will continue to mourn with your family the loss of such a fine man. Prayerfully, Rob & Heather Hepler and Family

To the Benjamin family, I am so, so very sorry for your loss. I served with Benjamin in Iraqi and I will miss him. I cannot begin to express the sadness I felt when I heard. I will keep all of the Benjamin family and Todd in my prayers. With all the love and sympathy I possess.
Sincerely
Mr. and Mrs. Avery

To the entire Benjamin family,
I am so sorry for your loss. No words can ever express my heat felt sympathy.
A young man just beginning a life taken from us way too young.
Although we met at the worst times of your lives, your son's memory will live on for a long time to come. Know that he is in heaven above and shinning down on all of us.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
