My heart
and prayers go out to you all. Ben fought long and hard and never gave
up. He earned his wings and is no longer in pain. Heaven has a new
little angel tonight. We will never forget Big Ben. We will light a
candle in the front window in honor of Big Ben. God Bless You all.

Dear Tom,
Jennifer, Eli- Only tears fall tonight for the BIG boy that "Changed" so
many. You are not alone in the tears you cry, as those affected cry with
you. How bittersweet that those tears are of sadness at the loss of such
a great little man but also tears of joy that he is in a place that he
is free to play and be without pain. God will take such good care of him
and the good news is that those of us who were only CHANGED by his story
and never had the blessing of actually meeting him, will one day get to
personally Thank Him (Ben) for the special way he made us all look at
life in a better light. Umongst your sadness and tears, may the Lord
give you amazing strength and peace to know that He is going to take
such good care of "America's Biggest Hero." God Bless and much Love,
Chandra

Peace at
last! Dear Ben, what a voyage you have made. A beautiful and strong boy
you will always be. Your parents and brother will miss you so much but I
hope that all the wonderful memories will fill some of the holes and
their faith the rest. Much love to you up high and your family here on
earth.

Dear Tom,
Jennifer and Eli Thank you so much for sharing Big Ben with the world.
Today my heart is broken and my tears won't stop BUT my resolve is
strong. We all must do whatever we can to raise money for research so
that a cure for this disease will be found, and on that day there will
be a very very happy Angel in Heaven. God Bless

battle with his brain tumor. I am thinking of you all and praying for
your family. leah yancey (our son patrick had a brain tumor removed at
lebonheur on aug 13th-my husband met tom in the hallway and spoke to
you) I can't begin to imagine your pain but please know that we are
praying for you and all of your needs.

I just
wanted to let you know that my prayers are with your family and pray
that God will continue tp comfort you at this time. Eli, Jennifer & Tom,
just keep thinking like you have through this whole journey that you
have experienced, with keeping the strength of God inside yourselves.
Ben has touched many, many lives, and has brought the word of God into a
lot of people's lives that have lost touched with Him. Ben was here for
a reason, and I truely think it was to open people to the word of God
through you (at least that is what happened with me). There are people
that keep up with this site daily all over the WORLD. That is amazing.
Take care..with much love, thoughts, and prayers. ~*~Hugs~*~

Dear Ben,
Since we know that a BIG party is going on for you right now as you are
welcomed into Heaven, we wanted to add our own personal touch. We sent a
balloon from each of us up to you. We love you very much and hope you
like the Balloons. (They are the ones that say "I Love You" on them.) We
miss you already but can't wait to play with you. Josh, Lauren &
Emmalee.

I just
wanted you to know that you are being prayed for. I'm thankful that you
shared so much of your walk with us, many of us strangers. Ben's story
is being told far and wide. How amazing his day must be today, no more
pain, sent with love from an earthly family to his heavenly family. You
are an amazing family, Bowens. I'll be praying for you and especially
Eli as you miss your Ben.

Tom,
Jennifer & Eli, My heart goes out to you all tonight as well as my
prayers. Big Ben is now an angel, resting so comfortably and peacefully
in Jesus' arms. I am in tears because I feel like I have lost a loved
one also. I know how hard it must have been to have shared something so
personal with the whole world. However, I know that it has changed many
lives, including mine. Eli, stay strong little buddy, know that one day
you will be with Big Ben again. Tom & Jennifer, I love you
guys...too..even though you are complete strangers... I feel so close to
you. Remain strong, Ben's suffering is over...Pure and whole, all
sickness gone..Lots of Love, Hugs and Prayers...The Jennings
Family...Lisa, Michael, Sabrena, Dalton & Hosanna..God Be With You
Always

Dear
sweet, tired, and torn Bowen family, I have prayed for you and to an end
of your baby's pain. Now that I see he is finally pain free, I am crying
with you, in both sadness and joy as I write. Thank you for sharing your
life with us during such a difficult journey.

It is
amazing how people I have never had the honor to meet have taught me
about faith, love, and family. It has been a privilege to be able to
have a glimpse into your lives and to learn from Ben. Once again, thank
you and as always you are all in my heart and prayers selena

I'm so
sorry for your loss, but rejoice with you that Ben is pain-free at last.
I will be praying for the three of you, and your extended family as
well. May God cradle you in the palm of His hand as He's now cradling
Ben.

Just

has touched my life and lives of many others. I really dont know what to
say, except, take care and everyone is going to miss Ben, even tho we
never met him. God Bless you and your family.

My
prayers are with the whole family. I have been following the story
closely and prayed nightly for you all. It is a comfort to know Ben is
with the Lord now and no longer in pain. His job is not done and he is
now looking down on us! I pray you find peace through the heartache
knowing he is no longer suffering and he is now an angel in heaven. I
also pray that Eli will find peace as well, I hope his heart will find
joy in all the good times he had with Ben. Love to you all Dawn
