I have thought about her often but never got her email address, and hope that she and the children were doing well. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17575#post-389745 Mon, 01 Jun 2009 15:02:32 +0000 Moonshadow_NZ 389745@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I can remember the day Ben's wife informed us about Ben's death. Wasn't one of them a vet or vets' assistant. Yes, they had adopted 2 young children from Europe somewhere and they were expecting a baby very soon. Not long after Ben passed away Christine found several wee kitties who became family members and helped to ease the pain.<br /> Wow, that made the old brain cells work as it was some time ago. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17575#post-389716 Mon, 01 Jun 2009 14:20:43 +0000 JoanfromNewJersey 389716@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Perhaps KM has a way of contacting her... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17575#post-389713 Mon, 01 Jun 2009 14:17:49 +0000 mollycat71 389713@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Does anyone have a way to contact Ben's wife? I think it would be special once the site was up to share it with her. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17575#post-389712 Mon, 01 Jun 2009 14:16:36 +0000 Sheba's Mom in Phoenix, AZ 10/8 389712@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I LOVE ALL OF YOU, MY TDK FAMILY! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17575#post-389698 Mon, 01 Jun 2009 14:01:41 +0000 HuddysMama 389698@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I remember him.

Would that work, or do we want a stand along website for this? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17575#post-389559 Mon, 01 Jun 2009 10:16:42 +0000 2bpurring 389559@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I vagley remember mention of Ben when I first joined, I believe he passed just before I joined. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17575#post-389548 Mon, 01 Jun 2009 10:07:51 +0000 Karenopa 389548@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I don't remember this CW but hear such sadness in it.

I can't remember if his wife was pregnant or if they were in the process of adopting another child. I felt so bad for her. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17575#post-389531 Mon, 01 Jun 2009 09:51:36 +0000 2 Popoki 389531@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Thank you for the reminder CW .. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17575#post-389510 Mon, 01 Jun 2009 09:28:49 +0000 mollycat71 389510@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>We definitely need to talk to KM and see about setting up a Memorial Page. We have lost such wonderful people here and they were each so special in their own way. It's so little to do for such special friends. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17575#post-389509 Mon, 01 Jun 2009 09:28:03 +0000 Catwoman 389509@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>He was only in his 20's! :-( </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17575#post-389508 Mon, 01 Jun 2009 09:28:00 +0000 Tigerlilly 389508@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Thanks for telling us about another TDK loss. It was before me also, but I will say a quiet prayer for his family. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17575#post-389507 Mon, 01 Jun 2009 09:27:10 +0000 JoanfromNewJersey 389507@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Yes, I do remember Ben. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17575#post-389505 Mon, 01 Jun 2009 09:26:18 +0000 cricketsmama 389505@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>how sad...<br /> both were before my time here. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17575#post-389504 Mon, 01 Jun 2009 09:25:51 +0000 KarenCentennial 389504@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Thank you, CW, for reminding us. I remember when they adopted the children from Russia and how excited he was when she got pregnant at almost the same time. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17575#post-389503 Mon, 01 Jun 2009 09:25:34 +0000 GreatDane 389503@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I remember Ben, too. It was after Chester, because Chester was before I joined and Ben was after. And yes, the wife's name was Christine - wasn't she pregnant, too? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17575#post-389500 Mon, 01 Jun 2009 09:23:31 +0000 Catwoman 389500@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Remember the young man Ben whose wife was a veterinarian? They had small children, she was pregnant, and he was killed in a car accident. I think it was after Chester. I was so sad for his wife. She logged on to tell us what happened and logged on a few times after that. I think her name was Christine. I remember her saying that the dog kept running to the door everytime a car drove up, then slinking away in disappointment when it turned out to be someone other than Ben. :-( </p>
