I just
wanted to let you all know that your whole family is loved, thought of,
and a prayer is said for you everyday. I have been reading this website,
and visit it daily. Like some others are saying, I have lost my faith
and just by reading about your family's faith and Ben, you have made me
realalize that I too need to get God back in my life, and the He can
help us through anything, and that we all have a purpose, with him by
oursides. Just know that Ben has touched many lives, and this we will
never forget. God bless you, Jennifer, Tom, Eli and of as well as our
little Big Ben...I love you all! ~*~Hugs~*~

I was
just sitting here, looking for an update, when from the other room, I
heard Ben's name on the TV. I ran in there just in time to see his
smiling face, sitting in Jennifer's lap. WREG news 3 was talking about
the Big Ben wristbands and giving info on how to order one. He is rich
with the love of many. Extra special prayers for Eli. Children get
scared when they don't understand things (just as many adults do). Maybe
he is trying to distance himself to help prepare himself for the day
Jesus comes to take Ben home. The love these brothers have for each
other is very obvious. How could anything else be possible, with all the
love their parents have for them.

You are
all in my prayers, Bowen family. To Ben -on the headstone of my
beautiful 2 year old niece's grave is a quote: "Look for me in the
nursery of Heaven" - so Ben, give a hug to Elizabeth Rose. Till then,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Dear Tom
and Jennifer, I have been following Ben's progress for quite some time
and there are a few things I would like to share with you. I feel very
strong that God is using Ben's life to do more that just get people to
realize the need to support ST. Judes. I will be attending the Radiothon
with WQBE tonight with my mother Toni Lynn. We have had numerous talks
about Ben and are very touched by his wonderful life. It is amazing how
someone so little can make such a BIG impact. He has made my
relationship with my mother closer that it already was and more
importantly, it has made me aware of how to be a better mother to my 3
babies. Jennifer and Tom, you have truly showed me how precious life is
and given my such inspiration. I have told everyone I know to help ST.
Judes in honor of BIG Ben. I pray that God's strength be with the 3 of
you as you endure every emotion you are being faced with. God Bless,
Chandra Powell

Dear
Bowens, I know it has to be hard to share something so personal and
heart wrenching with others all over the world. But Ben's life is not in
vain, you have made all of our here better people

I read
about Ben with tears in my eyes as my children argue and fight beside me
and I'm saying a thankful prayer that they are crying and screaming at
each other. I can't imagine how you must be feeling, but know that a
stranger in Indiana is thinking of all of you and praying for Ben to no
longer be in pain. He is a beautiful child and will make a perfect
guardian angel for Eli, who has had to learn so much about the hardships
of life at such a young age. May he grow up to be a happy, healthy, and
caring boy.

I am
devastated to hear that Ben is getting worse and suffering with pain.
Ipray that god will help him with his pain and help Tom, Jennifer, And
Eli with the pain and heartache they are going through. God will help
Eli to become close to his brother again. I know he is just scared
because he loves him and does not like to see him suffer. May God bless
all of you and your families.

Our
prayers go out to your family. Our youngest son, Ben, as well as all 3
of our children and our granddaughter, bring such joy to our lives. We
cannot imagine what you are enduring! In honor of your Ben, I tried to
order some wristbands to be sent to our Ben and his friends at college.
The site keeps telling me that my session has expired and will not let
me complete my order. I have tried several methods to clear the
information and start over, but it remains. This concerns me for the
safety of my information, and it is frustrating since I cannot place the
order. Maybe someone has a solution? Thanks! Love and prayers!

Tom and
Jen, I remember both of you from Youth for Christ, years ago, before you
were married. I remember how well-grounded you both were and what a
breath of fresh air it was to listen to the both of you talk about your
relationship with God. It's been over a decade since then and I hadn't
prayed in years until I heard about Ben. Now I find myself praying every
day. Thanks for the nudge, Ben.

Still
believing . . . believing that God is real; believing that Ben has been
used to bring thousands to their knees, many who may have never had
faith before; believing that God is greater than our earthly pain. I
pray for peace and comfort for your precious son and I pray that Eli
will have WONDERFUL memories of his best buddy and not just remember the
sad times. I pray for you as parents and as husband and wife. May God
keep you clinging to Him during this journey. God bless you. Thank you
for sharing your lives.

I found
your story through a caringbridge site for someone else and I have been
checking daily since then. Ben's story is amazing, but it seems his
parents are also very amazing people! Please know that you are in my
thoughts and prayers daily.

My
daughters have been keeping up with Ben's Story through a club they
started called "BFF" (best friends forever!) They decided a few months
ago (before they knew of Ben) to start this club to help children with
cancer. When they heard of Ben, they knew they had to help. They have
been working hard to raise money for you all to help with your living
expenses. We are sending $150 to your trust fund. I am so proud of them.
I can't imagine what you are going through, but I am confident that God
will not give you more than you can handle. His purposes are being
worked out through you. And we give Him all the glory.
