I just
read about Ben. I am so sorry to hear you lost your little angel, but I
know that he is in a far better place. I hope that your healing for your
hearts comes swiftly. I love the pic you posted he was just so precious.
I hope that the next few days are okay for you all. We are still praying
for you all! The Jantz family

I am so
sorry about the loss of Big Ben. He was such a cute little boy, who
touched the lives of millions I'm sure, His story and life was so
powerful, and helped people around the world to see how serious these
illnesses are. I hope people will wake up and not ignore this, something
needs to be done, Ben has changed a lot of peoples views' on this from
his story. He is no longer suffering and is now truely an angel, along
with the other kids, R,I.P Big Ben you will never be forgotten. I'll
always remember you, I'm sure everyone will always remember you,. Love
always, Karleys auntie,

I am a

have been with you since hearing of Ben. I know that you have the faith
that God has had his arms wrapped around Ben and all of you. My heart

To Ben's
Family - I have been hearing a great deal about BB the past few months
from my good friend Emily Kaiden, and I have been inspired to say the
least. I am deeply saddened to hear about his passing but I know (as I'm
sure you do), that it is ONLY that - a passing; a passing to the next
life, the eternal life, in Heaven with Jesus. Please know that all
though I never met Ben, both you and him will be in my thoughts and
prayers. I look forward to the day when I WILL meet him, and until then
I will where my green 'Big Ben' bracelet, in honor of the hero I have
yet to meet. God Bless you and your family. Love, Muck Phil 4:13

I am so
very sorry for your loss. A dear friend of mine shared Ben's Story on
our Preg/infant loss forum. We were all touched. I know the pain and
emptiness you feel are overwhelming, and life doesn't seem quit fair. I
prayer God will bring you comfort and understanding. My son died 2 years
ago at the age of 14 months.. without the Lords help, I know I would not
be able to post to you today. There is strength in number and you have a
world of people praying for you today. May God Bless you and keep Ben
safe in his arms until you reunited. God Bless, Carla Davis, mommy to

Trish and
I continue to lift you up in our thoughts and prayers. We know the wide
range of emotions that accompany the loss of a child. You rejoice in
that Ben's suffering is over and He is now completely healed of this
monster and in the presence of Jesus. At the same time, we remain
grief-stricken at our temporary loss. We know that in these times, God's
grace does work in abundance, and His grace is definitely sufficient,
something I know you are experiencing right now. May God's grace and
peace and comfort be with you in these times, and continue in the
future. We love you all, God bless, Tom & Trish

A LETTER
FROM HEAVEN "To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say. But
first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay. I'm writing this
from heaven. Here I dwell with God above. Here, there's no more tears of
sadness; here is just eternal love. Please do not be unhappy just
because I'm out of sight. Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon
and night. That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was
through, God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
"It's good to have you back again, you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on. I need you here
badly, you're part of my plan. There's so much that we have to do, to
help our mortal man." God gave me a list of things, that he wished for
me to do, and foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you. And
when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight, God and I
are closest to you... in the middle of the night. When you thi

I am so
sorry for the loss of your wonderful son. Thousands of lives have been
changed forever by your son and I, for one, thank you for sharing your
son with us and for sharing your family with us. Even tho I am unable to
attend the funeral, I will release a balloon in Ben's honor tomorrow and
send a memorial in Ben's honor to St. Jude's. I am so thankful that he
is no longer in pain. Take care of each other and especially little Eli
who has had to become a "little man" well before his time. My thoughts
and prayers are with you. Sara & Walker

Tom and
Jennifer, I think of you booth every hour of everyday. I have three
children and cannot imagine the heart ache that you have endured with
such faith. I have learned a great deal from Big Ben and your family. I
just keep saying to myself that Ben is in the right place with no pain.
What A wonderful feeling that must be. How lucky Big Ben is. Your family
has demonstrated such faith and compassion. I just pray that I can be as
strong as you all have in all the challenges that life faces us with. I
pray for Eli and the questions that he must have, but with the parents
that he has he is also a lucky boy.

I co-host
a morning radio show in Kansas City where we just concluded our St. Jude
Radiothon. During the Radiothon, I personally adopted Ben's story and
his battle with cancer. We raised $334,000.00 for St. Jude. I believe
Ben's struggle encouraged many of our listeners to open their hearts
this year to the work of St. Jude. I am so sorry to learn of your loss.
Although I can never know your pain I too feel a loss this morning. May
God hold your family in his arms during this time of great loss. Mary

Family, I am so sorry to hear of Ben's passing. Although I never had the
pleasure of meeting Big Ben - I always kept up with his progress through
his web site. His pain and suffering is over and now he is at peace. An
Angel in Heaven. Peace and comfort for your family during this difficult
time. Ben touched my heart and he will never be forgotten. God Bless

Mr & Mrs
Bowen, Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts today. I
have followed Bens Story and have prayed for him daily. Keep in mind
that God only takes the best and He took Ben because He needed another
Angel in his garden. The pain that your family has endured will be
lessened by the courage and strength you have given others through out
Ben's illness.

Dear Tom,
Jennifer and Eli, I am thankful Ben is no longer suffering. I have been
following Ben's story since last summer, and was heartbroken to learn
about Ben this morning. I have a young child and cannot imagine all that
you have gone through over the past year. I wish you continued strength
and belief. Please give Eli a hug from me. Sincerely, Sunday Conine
