I am soo deeply sorry for your loss I can somewhat understand what your going through and people might say that within time it will get better but sometimes it gets worse, but believing in God and excepting that he has his reasons for calling Benito home, and cherishing the good and not the bad is what will get you through your difficult time, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Monica M. published a tribute .

My cousin...
Throughout the years, I watched you grow up. It was always such a treat to stay at your house and visit with you and Billy. Both of you are very special to me and always will be. In your passing you have left people here who loved you and love you still. I only wish there was a way to help you through the rough times in your life. At least now, there is no more restlessness or worry. Your spirit can be free. Go with God, my cousin, and be free. If you happen to know where Grandma Beatrice, and where my brother Gary are, please give them my love. Hugs and prayers for my precious Benito, Billy and Aunt Katie. I pray that God wrap His loving arms around Benito, and the Holy Spirit bring Billy, Aunt Katie and Uncle Victor peace and comfort. All my love, your cuz, Mona
