Feb. 17,
2005: I have sat for over an hour reading thru your website. I am so
very touched by the love of your friends and family Ben. I wish you
nothing but the best of everything in your life with all of us here. You
have an amazing older brother and always remember how much he loves you.
I visited Hanna's website and a few of the other children's sites too. I
am very blessed that I got the opportunity to meet you and your family
online. I will remember you tonight in my prayers with all of my other
Angels watching over me and to protect everyone I care about in my life.
Have an amazing day Big Ben, Eli, Jennifer and Tom. Many blessings to
you from South Dakota.

Bowen
family, my heart breaks for you. I have been following you through Ben's
web page and want you to know that I am another that has been touched
through Big Ben. His impact is far from over. I took the liberty of
passing along the address for Ben's web site to the country radio
station here last week and told them I thought it would be okay to use
as inspiration for anyone questioned their motives for this fundraiser.
Well, I just heard the announcer talking about Ben. She was in tears as
she talked about visiting his site and what you all have been through.
Big Ben's inspiration, like ths ray of sunshine that he has been to your
family, is spreading. May you find peace in the arms of Jesus.

I was
driving home today from my trip and turned on the radio about the time
your story was playing on the local radio station. i am a active donator
for St Judes. I also spend a year working on the local Med/Oncology
floor at a local hospital. From working there the hardest thing was
people my age and small children. Hearing your story on the radio hit me
hard because I have a 3 year old little boy and dont know what I would
do if anything would happen to him. He is mylife for he is the only one
I will be able to have. I know lose is hard for anyone but losing a life
before it begins is the hardest. I called the local radio station and
donated additional money today and posted a link on my website for Ben
to collect donations. I work for the airlines and going to spread the
world. For your story is only one of thousand little lives that deserve
every last drop of life we can offer. Forever your in my hearts Heather
and Elijah

HI! I was
wondering if you knew Carrie Bramle? They go to my church (near athe
Budwiser plant). She was telling me about Ben. When she told me I feel
so sad. How you both are dealing with Ben's tumor. I would like to say
that I know what you are feeling, But I don't know. I kind of know what
you are going though because my mom(Marquetta) had a brain tumor, but
her brain tumor wasn't as bad as Ben is. I can't remember what kind it
was. My mom have got to it removed. When she had ae opertion, when the
doctors went to take it out the tumor was on her brain stem. Thank GOD
that it don't have any canser. Now it's has when about 2 years since
opertion. My older brother and me couldn't go with my mom and dad. They
didn't went us to miss any days of school. My brother was 12 in the 6th
grade at John Adams Middle School. Now he is 14 and is in the 8th grade
still at JAMS. I was 10 and in 5th grade at Ruthlawn Elementry School.
Now I'm 12 and in the 7th grade at JAMS. I thought I would share my
story with you(Both) and let you both kno

In an
interview with Christopher Reeves wife, she said while he was considered
very successful, he always talked with great concern about how he wanted
his life to really make a difference. God's plan gave "Superman" the
opportunity through a spinal cord inury. Certainly NOT what anyone would
choose but his life DID make a difference in the lives of those with
similar injuries. Big Ben is our new Superman! His story really is
bigger than any of us can fathom and his tender life has already made a
tremendous difference in so many ways! Big "Superman" Ben has had a
profound impact on me and he will live in my heart forever. Thank you
for sharing him with me. ~Shirley

I just
wanted to let you know that Ben crossed my mind today. Ever since I
heard of your heartbreaking story I haven't stopped thinking about that
little guy and how brave he is. He also has a brave big brother. Just
don't ever loose faith. If you don't have faith you don't have anything.
I will continue to pray for Ben and you all are in my thoughts and
prayers everyday. Crystal Zirkle

Always
praying, firmly believing, forever touched by all that God is doing in
and through your 'story'. There are no human words applicable or
sufficient it would seem, only HIS words - find rest, oh my soul in God
alone ... May He lift you up tonight - may HE strengthen you tomorrow -
may HE comfort you continually ... we love each of you dearly -- Mary
Ellen (for Scott, Annie, and Abigail)

I just
read your entry on the rhabdoid kids webpage and i'm both thankful and
sad at the same time. I'm thankful for another day with Big Ben here on
earth, but i'm sad because of the pain this fighter is having to deal
with. For that I am sorry. For Eli, You are such a sweet little guy, and
you make a wonderful big brother to Ben.

Tom,
Jennifer and boys, I just wanted to take a few moments to express my
sincere gratitude to your family. Your unwiavering love, faith, and
strength in God has been such an inspiration. Instead of saying "I'm
sorry", I'd much rather say "congratulations" to Ben. What a soldier!
It's hard to imagine how many people Ben has touched through his story.
I have no doubt Heaven is smiling on Ben tonight, and on a job well
done. I continue to pray that God will bring peace and strength to you
all. Ben is such a hero!
