Have not been on here in awhile.
Just wondering how everyone is???
The DMD community of WNY lost another one too soon. Benjamin Muller, 27 passed on Friday, April 13, 2012. Ben, his Mother Christine, his Father Rick & his Sister Michele started The Independence Foundation of Elma, NY...the foundation has opened 3 group homes for adults living in wheelchairs may have a more independent life if so desired...Ben lived in the 1st home located in East Auroura, NY...Ben even started a wheelchair soccer leage. RIP Ben! We will miss you very much. His Memorial Service was beautiful & his life so inspirational. Ben's Father wanted everyone to know that Ben did not suffer during his life, he lived his life to the fullest. www.theindependencefoundation.org
