Hi Tom &
Jennifer, Our hearts ache with you as you are missing your precious Ben,
I think many people all over the world misses Ben, what a special gift
he was. Thank you for taking the time to share your journey with us. It
is filled with so much "hope", and your testimony of faith inspires me,
and encourages me daily. I can see your love for Jesus in every thing
you write, truly He has been glorified from day one. I pray that the
Lord will comfort your hearts, and fill you with His peace that passes
all understanding for the days, weeks, months and years ahead. I will
continue to keep your family in my prayers! In His Love, Susan

Tom,
Jennifer & Eli: I started following your story in January and have
continued. My heart goes out to you and your family to this day. I read
your updates and I sympathize with you. I know what you are going
through. I know the hurt and emptiness that you feel, and if there's
anything I could ever do for you (listen, talk, or offer encouragement)
I would. The road you have been on is a difficult one; and the road
ahead is just as long. You will make it--you have the strength and the
faith to do so. And, you have Ben watching over you. You're in my
thoughts and prayers.....

Dear Tom,
Jennifer and Eli, Praying for you; hoping for you; and believing in what
God has in store for all of you. It will be glorious! "...on the day He
comes to be glorified in His holy people and to be marveled at among all
those who have believed. This includes you, because you believed our
testimony to you." 2 Thes. 1:10 Love in Christ, Kim

I feel
compelled to write to you because you and your family are such an
inspiration in not only my life, but many of my friends and family. I
followed your story and was completely torn apart to hear of your loss.
I have a 7 month old son and I cannot even imagine the devistation you
and your family have been through. I want you to know I truely think
about you and pray for you daily.

Tom,
Jennifer and Eli, You all in my thought and prayers there isn't a day
that goes by that I don't check the site to see how you all are doing.
Tom is seems like our family has really grown apart over the years. I
was going through pictures the other day of all of us at Granny's at one
of the many outings at her house or at your Nana's house. Boy where does
the years go. Love you all, Lisa

Tom,
Jennifer and Eli, I started thinking the other day about how long I have
been keeping track of your family. It seems like I look everyday to see
how you guys are doing. Although complete healing will not happen until
we are with Ben, I can see that God is strongly using you all to be a
testimony for Ben. I pray that you will continue to gain strength and
that some kind of understanding is given. Please know that you are
prayed for daily and thought of more. Continue to stay stong in Jesus
and His hands will continue to guide you down this path you were chosen
to walk. Much love, Chandra

Dear
Bowens, Was glad for the latest update. I'm still praying for God to
help you deal with the loss of Big Ben. For Eli to understand all of
this and for your family to heal together. I can't imagine your pain,
but I know that the memories of Ben will surely someday help to make
your heart feel some better. God Bless You All. God is good, all the
time. Keep on, keeping on!!!! Your work and Ben's isn't complete yet.

What a
road you must walk, i am so sorry, the better day's are ok, and bad days
are too sad. Just when you think you'll be ok you start missing them so
much your arms hurt, you need to hold them so bad you dont know what to
do.But for each other you get up and take that first little step then
next then the next to try to help each other find a new road.Good luck
my dears, I KNOW if any people can do this it will be Big Ben's parents
and brother.We all look to you for hope and your healing is our
healing.If you can do it, so can we.God Bless you dear ones...Meme and
her Jordy

Just
wanted to let you know that I introduced someone new to Ben's story
today. She had mentioned that she is making a donation to St. Jude as a
favor for her wedding guests, so I pointed her in your direction so that
she could see just how her donation will help. She was, of course, moved
to tears by Ben (and all of you, for that matter). Another person to
pass along Ben's story... My thoughts and prayers remain with you.

I got up
thinking of you guys today. Went about my day and saw cookies today with
Ben and Eli's names on them in the Huntington Mall. Strange how you are
showed that friends may need an extra prayer that day. Saying one for
all of you. Hope you are well and that we hear from you soon. Take Care.

I have
followed Ben's story for a while. I was so heartbroken when he passed
away. Your beautiful son touched me so deeply. You and your family are
