She continued, “Then, I think of my daughter and the pain she is going through as she was a doting mother. Ben’s father, Danny, who is completely lost, as Ben was his only son. Riley, so loving and so close to him; Harper and Finley, who absolutely adored Ben. Navarone [Priscilla’s son], who struggles deeply with loss and death. Rest In Peace Ben, you were loved. ❤️”
