Compassion In A Difficult Time

To the Editor:

Thank you!

We would like to extend our gratitude and say “thank-you” to all our family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers for the outpouring of love, support, and gifts with the tragic loss of our son Ben.

A special thanks to the Newtown Police Department and the Dodgingtown Fire Department for their compassionate help in this difficult time. We are so grateful for all of Ben’s friends and co-workers who made a very special effort to attend the services, many of whom traveled many miles to be here for the services, especially those who came here from the University of Rhode Island. This is a very difficult time for all of us who loved Ben. Please remember us as we will remember all of you always.

Sincerely, Phil & Kathy Carroll
