I know
that there are no words that will help ease the pain that you must be
feeling right now. But, just hold Ben tight and love him for as long as
you can. I will be praying for you and your family, as I have done for
many months now. God keep you in his wonderful, loving care.

We have
all prayed for you numerous times today. Thank you, God, that Ben is
able to rest this evening. My son, Jared, has really been wanting to
know how Ben is doing. Five-year-olds look at things so simply...he
says, "don't worry Mommy, God will take care of him." Bless all of your
hearts this evening. If you need anything, let us know.

It's
almost one in the morning and although I've been in bed, I can't sleep
because I can't get you off of my mind. Just read the latest update that
you wrote at 11:45, and I laughed and cried at the story of Ben waking
up and saying, "tickle, tickle". These are sweet, precious moments the
Lord is giving you and priceless memories that you will always have. I
pray for a good night's rest for both of you and the Holy Spirit's
presence to surround all of you and be very real to you as you face the
days ahead. Praying and loving all of you, Bonnie

I wanted
to write and tell you I'm praying for you, as well as my mom's church.
(she is a pastor). Your story has truly touched me and I know you are in
a difficult hour. Only He knows the outcome. I pray for you all to have
strength, peach and that God's Holy Spirit will bring you comfort. May
the Lord Bless you and Keep you. May the Lord make his face to shine
upon you and be gracious unto you. May the Lord give you peace. God
Bless Allie Lambis

I just
read your update from this evening and, with tears streaming down my
face, wanted to reach out to you and let you know you're in my prayers
every night. Ben is so very precious and amazing. I wonder if he has any
idea just how many lives he has touched. He is such a gift, not only to
you (his parents), but to all of us as well. Even though many of us have
not ever met him, he has changed our lives. We love him and we thank you
for sharing his story with us.....

How many
times I sigh a big sigh, knowing how heavy your hearts are and how tired
your bodies are. My prayer is for an overpowering rest and a peaceful
calm for all of you. Much love, hugs and kisses, and most importan, a
tickle-tickle. God Bless!!

Praising
God for easing Ben's pain and for that precious "tickle, tickle," we
continue to celebrate Ben's life, to pray for comfort and peace, and to
rest in total assurance that we will spend eternity together. No parents
have shown greater, STRONGER faith and love than you, Jennifer and Tom,
that the rest of us have been able to maintain our own. We are so very
grateful for all that you do in the name of Him. As we are reminded of
that old hymn, "Love lifted me...when nothing else would do, love lifted
me!" may the love of thousands lift you and carry you through these
moments. We are faithful to Him and to you.

I
remember sitting in church the morning you were able to bring Ben. You
came walking down the isle with him in your arms reading scripture. You
stop in front of the pew where I was sitting and I make eye contact with
Ben. My first thoughts were how privilege I felt to be able to look at
the face that would be looking at the face of my Lord Jesus Christ. My
prayers are with your entire family. I was glad I was in church that
morning. You have a son that is dying and all I want for my son who is
20 years of age is to realize what a wonderful person he is, to give up
drugs, and turn his life over to Jesus. I'll never give up praying for
my son, because God is working in his life. Our children are only gifts
from God.I am sure you guys have heard everything, but Ben's gift, even
though it may be a short time, was a life time for the people he touch.
Thank you for giving me this time to speak to you. Rejoice and know that
some day Ben will be in heaven watching over you. God Bless this brave
family. Love in our Lord Jesus Christ, Bre

Just
wanted to let you know that I am still praying for you, Ben!! Also I too
tried to order some bracelets and got the same thing the person earlier
did, the page keeps expiring and won't let me continue. I will keep
trying periodically, because I can't wait to wear my bracelet in your
honor.

Ben, I am
praying for God to heal you and make you whole. I am also praying for
your mommy and daddy to be strong. I pray that God gives you His healing
here on earth but if he doesn't my son JP will play with you until your
parents can join you. God's love and mine, Susan

Still
thinking of you, praying for you and believing with you. We continue to
pray for the peace, comfort and strength you all need. (I also am having
a problem ordering the bracelet - it keeps saying I timed out. We'll
keep trying)
