Benjamin Joel Money

Benjamin Joel Money, 4 months, Rollag, MN, died on Sunday, August 14th, 2011, in his home. Benjamin was born on May 4th, 2011 in Fargo, ND, at Essentia Health to Lynette Anderson and Joel Money. He was welcomed home by five siblings. To them, and to his parents, he brought love, laughter, and joy. During his brief but beautiful time with his family, Benji was a blessing. Following in his father's steps, he was a social butterfly, captivating hearts with his bright blue eyes, cuddly hugs, and sweet smile. Like his mother, whose bubbly personality he shared, he was an overachiever, already rolling over at six weeks and at three months verbally communicating which parent he wanted. The "Little Monkey" left his tiny footprint on the lives of all those he met. Every day with him was a gift and he will be deeply missed. Benjamin is survived by his parents, Lynette Anderson and Joel Money; his siblings, Katherine, Madelaine, William, Isabella, and Samantha; his maternal grandparents, Joe and Christy Robertson, Rollag, MN; paternal grandparents, Duane and Kathryn Money, Valley, WA; maternal great-grandparents, Wesley and Carol Erickson, Hawley, MN; uncles and aunts, Matthew and Liz Robertson, Hawley, MN, and Dave Money and Mel Anderson, Oronoco, MN. He was preceded in death by his aunt, Melissa Jo Robertson. Due to allergies, please refrain from wearing heavy fragrances.
