What a
glorious day it will be when Ben can run and jump into our Father's
loving arms. What a glorious day it will be when he will be completely
healed of cancer. What a glorious day it will be when the world is rid
of this horrible disease. God grant you peace.

May you
feel God holding you even tighter today. His arms are bigger and
stronger than we could even imagine. No matter what happens today, this
week, or this month, God loves you! Your faith is greater than all the
rest of ours combined! When all is said and done, I hope you are one of
first people I meet in heaven! With love, Bruce, Neisy and Micah (2 yrs
old)

Today I
am praying for grace for all of you. For Ben, I pray for grace and
relief from his pain and suffering, and for Eli, I pray for grace for
him to continue to be such a passionate, caring child, and for Tom and
Jennifer I pray for the grace to get through every day and to continue
to trust in the true and living God above. Please know I care! Through
Christ's Love - Sonya Bowman

Tom,
Jennifer, Eli, and Ben- We prayed for you in our dept. staff meeting at
the YFC national office. Many of us have wept for you and pleaded for
God to continue to sustain you and bring you His peace. Four years ago
my Mom went to be with Jesus. Just a few days before she passed away, I
was sitting by her bedside and suddenly she said, "I see him, I see
him!" When I ask her who she saw she said,"I see Jesus and its all true.
Everthing we believe is true and he is the kindest man I have ever
seen." In the midst of great sorrow, I had great joy. May God comfort
your pain and remind you that it is all true and soon Ben will be in the
arms of the kindest man who loves him so completely and Ben's pain will
be gone forever. You all are so brave and faithful and are touching so
many lives! Nina Edwards

Hello,
Bowen family. It's been awhile since I've posted a message to you, but
you haven't been far from my thoughts. I check your site daily. As
classes begin during the day, my students come in asking the same
question, "have you checked on Ben today?" If I have, we take a few
minutes for me to give them the latest....if not, then we go to your web
site. Even though we don't know your family personally, we have grown to
care very much about you. We are praying for peace and comfort for you.
Give Ben and Eli a hug for us. Praying..praying..praying.

Dear
Bowen Family, Praying that the Lord will continue to supply all the
strength that is required during this painful time in your lives. There
are no words that I have that will make any difference in your pain.
Just wanted to let you know that I join in prayer with your family and
friends for Ben and you. THANKS FOR SHARING you faith and Ben with me.
God Bless.

Just
wanted to let you know that Ben was on the Memphis news today. They were
talking about all the Professional Tennis Players wearing the Big Ben
band at the St. Jude tennis match in honor of Ben. Your family is
continually touching people all over the world. And you have truly
touched my heart. All of us here at HP check your updates everyday and
are always praying for your family.

Dear
Bowen family, I want to thank you for all the info. that you are putting
out there for all of us to know and share with you and your family! I am
in the process of packing for our family trip to Disney World. Our 1st
thing to when when we get to the park is to release 2 mickey balloons! 1
in the honor of Big Ben and 1 for Hanna! Your family and I have never
met, but please know that you will be forever in my thoughts and
prayers! I have placed my order for the big bed wristbands for my
family! I have started to explain why we are wearing them to the 8 & 5
yr old. And they can't wait to tell everyone about "big Ben" and his
story! I have been truly blessed by you. I will be starting to donate
platelets in March, and its all in honor of Ben! Give those babies a
kiss for the Genova's in Southaven. Eli always has a playmate in
Southaven! Andrew (3.5yr old) looks at the computer and says thats my
friend Eli! And he hasn't even met him! Kids they are AMAZING! I pray
that Ben gets the rest he needs before entering that amazing hous

Dear
Bowen family, my heart goes out to you during this difficult time. I
have a grandson named Dexter who has had an atrt tumor removed in March
of 2004 and a resection in November. He has had chemo, stem cell
transplant and radiation so far. He is awaiting an MRI that is on the
25th of this month. We pray for him daily also as he had been through
sooooo much for such a little guy. He will be two in June. Your story
has been an inspiration to me and I folow it regularly. Dexter is on
Carringbridge.com. He lives here in Utah and is under the care of
Primary Childrens Hospital. Thanks again for your inspiring lives!

dearest
bowens.. such a little body, such a little boy, such a huge impact on
this world. Ben IS so much bigger then this, bigger then this disease
and bigger then the battle that has chosen him. I know in my heart that
Bens suffering in this world will be rewarded when he crosses over in
the the glorious Heaven that awaits him. May Ben have peace in his heart
and feel contentment as he makes that transition. i cannot imagine the
heavens as they prepare for BEN BOWENS return home. Praying for BEN and
for you.

Hi Big
Ben, Eli, Tom and Jennifer, It's been awhile since my last post.
Sometimes you just don't know the right words. I check in daily and your
family is constantly on my mind. I pray that Ben is comfortable and that
he is greeted with open arms. My heart breaks for your family and I pray
that you can find peace in something so devastating. Your faith is an
example to follow.

Dear
Bowen Family, I have been following your story for a while now. I check
on you daily. I found you while checking on a little boy in my church
who has neuroblastoma. His name is Chandler Booth from Moultrie, GA.
Your faith is so inspiring to us here in the south. We uplift you in our
prayers daily. Ben is such a miracle child. We pray for peace and no
pain as he tell you so long for now, and greets our Heavenly Father who
loves us so much. We pray that he keeps you in his loving arms and wraps
you in comfort as you come to grips with having to say goodbye for now.
May Ben smile with joy as he enters heaven.
