Showmen's Prayer
O my God, I believe in you, I trust in you, I thank you for all my blessings. I love you and ask forgiveness for all my sins. Guide and protect me and all those dear to me. Make me mindful of my privilege as a showman to bring joy and happiness to all people...especially the poor, the lonely, the less fortunate. And when my last act on Earth is completed and the final curtain falls, take me to yourself to be happy with you forever. Amen.
....Rest in Peace my friend....

This is Ben's daughter, Stormy. He always told me the show must go on. Little did I know he lived by it. No matter how bad the cancer was he smiled every day 'til the last. Thank you to everyone.
