We can’t believe this is happening. Ben was at ours at the end of April and the boys had the most amazing time having a water fight in the garden. Ben was such a lovely, kind and funny friend to William and although we are heartbroken for you all, we are also grateful to have had Ben in our lives since reception. He was incredibly popular at school and we will miss him desperately. We wish we could take away your pain but hope you take comfort from the fact that Ben has touched so many hearts and will be remembered for being an absolute star! Please let us know if we can do anything but we will keep you all in our hearts and thoughts.
All our love
Mike and Nina with William Tommy Bertie and Tilly XxxxxX
