Ben, you
continue to inspire me and my family. Your strength is amazing. Your
family is so wonderful. My boys continue to ask about you each day and
your updates and they pray for you every night. It brings me so much
sadness to bring them today's news. But I'm praying for healing, for God
to take away your pain, and for your heart rate to get to normal and
stabilize. You are so loved around the world and I can't wait to meet
you and your family someday. Hang in there Big Ben...you are strong,
loved, and God has his arms tightly around your precious body. We love
you here in Fresno....The Perkins Family :)

You don't
know me, but I am praying for Ben and your family. I know the Summers
family (Jonathan) that are at the Target House now. I'm sure that there
are many more people that are lifting you up in prayer, even though you
are not aware of it.

We wanted
to let you know, that as neighbors of the Hentz's, all of you there at
St. Jude's are in our prayers. These young children are in all of our
thoughts, and have been such soldiers, and are so totally inspirations
to all who know anyone going through what you all are going through.
Take care, and remember, you are not alone....

We are
praying for the pulse rate to return to the higher levels. We were with
Dad this weekend. He asks about Ben and prays for him as we do. Love, L

Been
praying throughout the day for the pulse rates to go up. We had a
special time of prayer at church yesterday and are still believing that
God can perform a miracle in Big Ben's body. You remain wrapped in His
arms, Mary Ann

The
weather has been horrible over here in Az, so I was just able to get on
the computer. Read Ben's update and instantly said a prayer. May God
continue to give you all peace and much FAITH. Never give up that's
exactely what the devil wants. May the God up above come upon the scence
and we all pray for a MIGHTY MIRACLE. Our God is an awesome God and he
never fails us. Always remember- God NEVER does a half job. Believing in
FAITH, The VanNierop's

Tom, Jen,
Eli, and Ben, Please know that our thoughts are with you, and that the
congregation of Westmoreland Baptist Church is lifting you up in prayer.
Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will
strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My
righteous right hand.’ Isaiah 41: 10

Jennifer
and Tom, I can't imagine what you are feeling right now. With McKinleys
cancer, the prognosis is so great that the fear that you are going
through is something that we never had to experience. I can only try to
understand. I just wish we could do more. I would just like to squeeze
and hug Ben again. Brian will be bringing McKinley back for her surgery
on September 6th. He will come check on you guys. Love and Prayers,
Amanda

Praying
for Jennifer and Janet to have a restful night with Ben---which of
course means that we hope Ben is pain-free with a steady, increased
pulse. Great news about the tumor; now if the radiation will just zap
that thing! You and Eli rest and relax in the arms of God tonight. Love
to all involved.

Dear
Bowen Family, I continue to check on you all a couple of times a day. I
can't imagine how exhausting you must be day in and day out. I pray for
your strength to help you with the difficult times. I pray for Ben to
not be in pain it saddens my heart and soul to think such a precious
little boy is in such horrible pain. I pray for good days for your
family. It is such an inspiration to me what wonderful and strong
parents you are to Ben and Eli. You are always in my thoughts and
prayers. Love, Ms. Ashley

Tom, I
know you probably don't remember me. I am Harry's first cousin and I
remember when your Mom and Harry were first married. You came to the
reunion a few years here in Kentucky. Harry told us yesterday about your
precious baby. Mom and I, as well as the rest of our family, will be
sure to keep Ben and the rest of your family in our prayers. I will
check often for updates and news. As a mother, I can not imagine what
you are going through. Just know that there are thousands of people
praying for little Ben and you just have to believe that God does work
miracles and He answers prayers. God Bless! Thelma & my Mom, Carol

Tom,
Jennifer, Eli and Little Ben - We continue to pray that the Lord watches
over you and protects you. We wish for a peaceful night for Ben. We also
wish for grace and peace for Eli as he deals with his brothers illness
and missing his friend Hanna. The video pictures of Eli and Hanna are so
very precious. Thank you for sharing them with all of us. You and the
families at St. Judes are always in our thoughts and prayers. Your faith
is an inspiration to all of us. You are truely a wonderful reflection of
the good God has brought to this world. Peace, Dawn, Jim, Jimmie and
Tommy Sykora (Kerin Hentz's cousins)

Tom, you
and your family are definitely running on inspiration and energy that is
heaven sent. I have never stopped praying daily for Ben, you, Jen and
Eli. This is all in God's hands, as it has always been, but we are all
praying fervently for the miracle that we know can happen.
