Thinking
of you now and praying for strength in the days ahead. Your Big Ben was
bigger then this world and the challenges it threw his way. He taught us
all old and young about being a BIG person no matter what our size. A
story that will live on in the hearts of many. Much Love and Prayers

Tom,
Jennifer & Eli - I am so sorry for the certain grief that you're feeling
right now. As you rightfully acknowledge this profound loss know that in
Christ, Ben has already found everlasting life and peace in the
resurrection. The congregations of City Road Chapel United Methodist
Church & West Point United Methodist Church will continue to hold you up
in prayer. Pastor Jarrod Hunt (former member, RCCC)

the
angels were rejoicing today as the lord called ben home i pray for gods
grace to come upon the family and ease your pain. also today i recieved
my big ben bracelets in the mail and i will always cherish these
bracelets but at the same time when i look at them i will be sadened
because i will be reminded that the day i received them was the day ben
lost his battle to cancer but you know at the same time he has won a
battle that the ones he leaves behind must continue to fight and that is
the battle to get to heaven sweet dreams my dear sweet ben until we meet
again

I watched
the news tonight and cried when Ben's story came on there. Please know
your in my thoughts and prayers and I am so sorry for your loss of such
a special person. He has touched so many lives. He has been such an
inspiration to so many people and I know he will continue to be. God
gave you an angel to watch over while he did his work here on earth and
he will be so missed but still loved and thought of daily

I heard
about your beautiful and brave son from a member of a military spouse
support site that I am also a member of. I visited Ben's site just the
other day, and I cried and prayed for all of you. I am so sorry to hear
about the loss of your sweet little boy. I cannot even begin to imagine
your grief and heartache. Please know that I am still praying for your
entire family. May you find comfort in your memories. Because of you and
those precious memories, Ben will live on. ~Jennifer DeRosia & family

praying for you. May you find peace and comfort from each other. The
days, weeks and months ahead are not going to be easy, but lean on each
other and as you already know, the love for Ben will stay with you
always. All my best, Sharon Lawson

Dearest
ones: I have checked this website every couple of hours, sensing that
the end was near. It has kept me in much prayer for you all. My heart is
heavy for your grief. I know that you will draw from that well that
never does run dry....Jesus' love and comfort. We...the rest of your
fellow believers will not forget nor will we stop lifting you up in
prayer. God was truly glorified in Ben's life. Love to you from the
Moore family.

Words
seem so inadequate at this time. But how can we reach out to hold you,
or hug you right now. Just know that our thoughts, prayers, and
sympathies are with you at this time. Our only peace is in knowing that
Ben is pain free and playing joyfully at the feet of Jesus. We can not
express how grateful we are for haveing had the opportunity to share in
Ben's story. You will never know how much it has meant to us and how
much it has changed and impacted our lives. I wish there was an adequate
way to express how much it meant to us to have known Ben through his
story. We have come to love him and the rest of your family so much.
Tom, Jennifer, you are good parents and this is something to be very
proud of. We will continue to keep you in our prayers. Dana and Ken
Pennington

very strong and brave. Just know that he has made it to his true "home"

arms and show us around his glorious mansion. Im praying that yall three
can be as strong as Ben has been. You are in my thoughts daily. Take
Care!!!!

God
looked around His garden And He found an empty place. He then looked
down upon This earth and saw your tired face. He put His arms around you
And lifted you to rest. God's garden must be beautiful, He always takes
the best. He knew that you were in pain. He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again. So He closed your weary eyelids And whispered,
"Peace Be Thine." He then took you up to Heaven with Hands gentle and so
kind. It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone. For
part of us went with you The day God called you Home. -Author Unknown
