Prayers
for Ben are going out daily to all of our Monterey Free Will Baptist
Church "email prayer buds". We're a praying church, and we have seen so
many miracles. We're praying now for "Ben's Miracle", and for God to
give you grace and strength through His love. We're all praying to Our
Heavenly Father for Him to touch Ben with His healing powers....this we
ask and pray in the name of Our Lord Jesus. May you be comforted in His
Love. With love and caring, Carole, Jim D, and your "Monterey, TN.
prayer buds"

I just
read the article about Ben and your family in the Charleston Daily Mail.
I wiped away tears the whole time. May god bless Ben and your family. As
a mother of 2 I can not imagine what your family is going through. Your
family and Big Ben will be kept in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless!

Also, for
anyone reading this in the Charleston, WV area...I encourage everyone to
contact WQBE (344-9700) to volunteer to take pledges during their yearly
St. Jude's radiothon. It is next Saturday and Sunday (February 19-20).
This is another great way for the people of WV to show our support for
Ben and for the hospital that has helped him and so many other children!

such saddness for your family and what you have to go through but also
happiness that Ben has such loving people around him to care for him. I

at Olan Mills in Saint Albans WV and I would love for your family to
come down for a complimentary potrait package to keep the memories alive
forever. I know its not much but its all I have. Please call my studio
to set up an appointment anytime at 722-0500 we have a answering machine
so if no one is at the phone please leave a message and I will call you
back asap. God Bless you and your family.

I bet Mr.
Eli will be a great doctor one day and cure the monsters who are chasing
Ben and some many others. Freeing other children in his brother’s name.
You watch. Eli will make a big enough mark for him and Ben. He is such a
great kid. You are right he has endured so much in such a short time. It
will make him stronger and help him to see how everyday is a gift. Just
as Ben has showed us. People know a good thing when they see it what can
you say. Buy Ben Bands!!! I have sent messages to everyone I know and
still have people emailing me asking for info. So I send them to his
page. Buy them. Buy them ALL!! I can’t wait to get mine. When you do
return to Disney you ALL will be there. Not in the way you had hoped. He
will be there at every corner and reminding you of the wonderful trip
you guys had for his birthday. A priceless time forever treasured by one
family. As I read Bens updates. I often find myself wishing, praying for
the sweet faces we seen at Disney. Full of smiles, love and excitement.
I continue to

continue to be thankful for the answered prayers and pray for you guys.
God is good. Just bigger and better plans for Ben, I guess. Rest sweet
Ben. You’ll need your strength to present your fat check to St. Jude. I
am so proud of you Ben. You are a shining star. Rest well Mommy and
Daddy. Eli my man. I’d follow you anywhere. Much love big guy.

Eli you
are the best brother that I have ever read about. I'm sure Mommy and
Daddy agree that you are a wonderful son and brother! Mickey Mouse is
probably happy to have you for a new friend too. Smiles sent your way!

Big Ben,
there comes a time in a persons life when they meet or have heard a
story that touches them deeply. As a mother of 4 children, I could not
imagine the trials that you and your family are going through. Rest,
knowing that someday you will be whole. No more sickness, no more pain.
I have lost a family member to cancer, but could not imagine my own
child having it. God is there in your time of troubles and in him you
can count on. I will continue to pray for you Big Ben. Mom and Dad, keep
strong, you have a beautiful little boy and God will take care of him.
Hug and Kiss him for me and I'll continue to pray for you all. Lots of
Love, Lisa, Michael, Sabrena, Dalton, Christian, & Hosanna.

We
continue to pray night night prayers for your family Tanner is only 2
but he knows when I check Bens site that the beautiful little boy
playing with the "big truck"(as Tanner calls it) is a sick little baby
and says "baby sick Mommy", we keep you in our thoughts and continue to
pray God bless. Congratulations on the sale of the wristbands cant wait
to hear about Ben presenting the check. Hope you can get some rest.

Tom,
Jennifer, Eli & Big Ben, I've been all over your website tonight and the
haunting feeling of wonder if Ben is still with us or if he has made his
transition to heaven overwhelms me. I had such high hopes of his
complete healing that I hurt so bad and have avoided posting any entries
for this reason. I questioned myself if I've done my part by requesting
enough prayers for Ben or if maybe I'd fell asleep without praying for
him enough. Either way, I'm so terribly sorry for all that you are going
through. I think of Ben so much and have grown to love him like one of
my own children from your entries. I scower the newspapers and your
website for any new updates about him as if he were my own. I wish for
you to give him our love from my family to yours and know that I will
always be thinking and praying for you and your family. You are an
incredible family...
