Tom,
Jennifer, Eli, and Baby Ben, I just wanted to thank you for being such a
great witness for Christ. I am sure that through your story and updates,
that many people have turned their life over to the Lord. You and your
family are in a lot of people's prayers. I will continue to pray for
your family. I hope that you and Jennifer are able to get some rest so
that you are able to help Ben through his pain. Remember the saying "If
God leads you to it, He will see you through it". I believe that saying
with all my heart. God Bless you and Your family.

I have
been watching your site from a link on little Erin B's website. I took
care of her here in Omaha at Children's Hospital. I just want you to
know I pray for Ben, he has touched so many lives in his short but
precious time here, one thing I do know about him, he is a fighter.
Probably stronger than I will ever be. He is adorable and I can tell he
has wonderful parents and a very great brother! God Bless you all.....

Good
Morning Ben, Just checking in on you. I hope your doing better. Big Ben,
you keep that beautiful smile shinning through. I know your not feeling
good right now and hope you are comfortable. God picked out your family
specially for. Eli is the best big brother you could have...and what a
great mommy and daddy you have...they are so lucky to have you. You and
your family are held tight to our hearts. I wish I could do something to
take this monster away from you. We will wear our Big Ben Wristbands
with pride and tell your story. I want to see Big Ben present that check
to St. Jude too. God Bless and watch over the Bowen family. Diane & Ryan

My heart
is still breaking for all of you, as well as my own family and all the
other families of children with this disease and the families who have
lost children to it. I ,also, plan to do as much as I can to help make
sure that research for a cure continues. I thank the Lord that we
received some good news this past week about Isaiah, but I want so much
more! I guess this is the reason we all need to pray for understanding
from God, since there doesn't seem to be any understanding it on our
own. I admire your strength and faith and when I read your entries it
helps to shore up my faith. Only sometimes it makes me feel really weak
and selfish to think that you're in the situation you're in and I need
to lean on you to help myself. (And you don't even know me) I hope my
entries can do the same for you at times. I still believe in miracles. I
believe that God is healing Isaiah and I'm continuing to pray that He
will heal Ben. I just realized that I've only prayed for a cure for
cancer a few times, even though I've lost

even
though I've lost several family members to it, have a brother in
remission(Thank God!) from mantle cell lymphoma and Isaiah's been
fighting it for about 4 years now. I think it's about time I added that
to my daily prayers. Thank you for allowing me to borrow from your
strength. God Bless You and Keep You!

constantly lifted up to God. We know that our Lord Jesus is with Ben,
and through Him, God will hear our prayers. With much love and caring,

We heard
about Ben through our son who works in Huntington...he has been on my
personal prayer list for over a year...he is the first name I look at
when I open my book. I think of him daily know you are being prayed for.
The kids in our Middle School Youth Group just raised money and bought
bracelets. We love you without knowing you personally. Keep the faith.
Your friends at Cross Lanes United Methodist Church.

Dear Big,
Beautiful, Brave, Brother Ben; While I wish with all of my heart that
you didn't have to know about cancer - I am extremely thankful for the
opportunity you have shared with us to support St. Jude and to pray for
the friends that you met there. You have taught us how to live life to
the fullest! We bought even more wrist bands today and we can't wait to
show them off and tell your story. In the midst of your pain and when
every moment is precious; you and your family are still giving to
others. Thank you for serving God in an awesome way and for encouraging
us to do the same with our lives. And a little child shall lead
them.....

My heart
breaks for every one of you! I want you to know that you are constantly
in my prayers! I know that I have no idea the type of pain that you all
must go through, but I know that God understands. Keep the faith and
always remember that God is on your side!

I have
often asked myself how much to tell my child. With his age (6) he is
very wise to what is happening around him. He basically knows the risks
and has alot of faith in the final outcome. Often, it seems as though a
devine intervention is taking place at times. The first time we asked
our doctor what we should do or how we should act, she told us to live
everyday to the fullest and commit your time ensuring happiness to your
child. My prayers continue to be with you. Hug him tight and continue to
believe in Ben's resiliency and God will come to all of our rescues. God
Bless!!
