Still
here with you, Ben hasn't left my thoughts today nor has the rest of his
family and friends. My prayers will not stop. We're blowing kisses from
KY to Ben and sending big hugs to everyone.

Dear Tom
and Jennifer, I was so shocked and sadened by the news about the tumor.
I am hurting for you guys as you learn more about the tumor growth. I
will continue to keep you in my prayers durring this time of struggle in
your family. When my 19 month old son, Gregory sees the pictures of Ben
on my computer, he immediately says Baby. I know that Greg is also
thinking of Ben who is so close to his own age. Please keep up the
faith.

As I sit
at my computer, i am asking myself WHY? Sometimes I don't understand
God's will, but I do know that He is always with us. Don't give up or
give in. I will be saying prayers for all of you. Sending you prayers
from Indiana.

My heart
is so sad - my tears fall. I have been praying for your family and will
continue to do so with this sad news. Eli, you hang in there buddy, you
have a lot to try to understand and when we adults can't understand we
don't expect you too either. Know that Jesus loves you and Ben and
Hanna, he knows you are hurting right now and loves you very much. Tom &
Jennifer, I pray for strength for you to get through the days ahead. May
God hold you close.

Ben and
Family- I learned about Big Ben from Louie Hentz's web site and you have
been on my mind and heart constantly for the last couple of days. Please
know though we do not know each other you are being prayed for and cared
about. I will continue to pray for Ben and your family through this most
difficult of times. Strong are the Arms of the Lord... collapse in them
and find Peace.

Tom,
Jennifer, Eli and Big Ben I just got home from the office where just
before I left I read of the latest update. I was saddened the whole way
home thinking of the state you both must be in. I continue to pray and
am encouraging others daily to do the same.

Dear Tom,
Jen, Eli and Big Ben I am so saddened by the unexpectedly negative news.
Come what may, we are standing with you, arms outstretched, and so is
God. Still praying for a miracle - I believe they still DO happen. Bill

Tom,
Jennifer, Eli, and Ben, I have been connected to your site for some time
now. Sorry to say I have never written but have prayed for your family
and Big Ben for months now. I met you through a friends website. Her
name is Catie and she was diagnosed with medulloblastoma on her 1st
birthday. She asked us for prayer for Ben (and many more babies!) Your
faith in our God is AMAZING and I only wish I could be like you and
witness so well. I just wanted you to know that you have touched me in a
way I can't describe and felt the need to sign the guestbook. Praying
for Ben's health, Eli's complete understanding of all he is facing as a
little boy, and for Tom and Jennifer to know they are loved by their
boys. Thank you for the strength that you add to my own faith. Much love
being sent your way. Amanda

What a
fantastic circle of people you have about you -praying and supporting
you! The faith and love expressed always inspires me. I have spent the
past two days thinking of Ben's ordeal. May he have rest now and have
some relief. The air is filled with angels watching over him. Comfort
yourselves by know that he has a strong spirit. Kiss Eli for me. He is
learning so much about this life, perhaps too early. Your strengths will
surface in him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Carol and Jerry

We just
read the 3:30 update---we're shocked and saddened beyond words. We still
believe, still trust in His plan, still pray (harder,longer) each
moment. Our love grows for you guys and we hurt for what you four are
going through. Eli, we don't understand God's plans for our lives---it's
tough for you to make sense of these times. Please remember that so many
of us who have never met you are holding you, Ben, your mom and your dad
very close in our hearts.

I am at a
loss for words. So I pray and send you this scripture to help you as it
does me. The lord saves good people; he is their strength in times of
trouble. Because they trust him for protection. Psalm 37:39-40 Dont
worry about anything, but pray and ask God for everything you need,
always give thanks. And Gods peace, which is so great we cannot
understand it, will keep your hearts and minds in Jesus Christ.
Phil.4:6-7 Believing. For Eli my heart aches. I dont know how to even
explain the last weeks events to such a sweet and pure mind. Keep
reminding him he is loved by Jesus, Hanna, and his family. People who
have never talked to Eli pray for him. Same for Big Ben. Believing and
praying.
