Hoping
you all feel the love of our Lord this Good Friday and praying that you
all find overwhelming peace this Easter season. I continue to be amazed
by the feeling of pure and sincere love and compassion that overcomes me
when I read this site. I hope one day I could meet you all again and
tell you in person how deeply your Little Angel has touched me. Love to
you all. And Eli I hope the Easter Bunny brings you lots of Goodies.
Love Wendy

Dear
Bowen Family, Was happy to read the latest update. So glad your trip to
St Jude's was love & heart felt. That is the place that you shared many
of Ben's smiles & love. Encouraged many people, shared your faith,
laughed & cried with many. What an inspiration you have been there and
around the world. God is still going to use Big Ben's story in a very
powerful way. Keep On! Still praying for your family and still
remembering Ben in a very special way.God bless you all. Happy Easter to
your family. Praise God. Christ is alive today and always!!!!!

Thinking
of you guys everyday, and keeping you in my prayers. I hope you all have
a wonderful Easter Especially little Eli. I found this verse in a book I
have and I thought of your family as soon as I read it and I wanted to
share it with you, " I look back and see how I've become who I'am by a
Family that found sweetness and joy somewhere inside when... life
experience tasted bitter." Jennifer this one is for you. "However time
or circumstance may come between a mother and her child, their lives are
interwoven forever." I wear my BIG BEN band all the time and I even have
Bens picture saved on my cell phone. that way when Someone asks about my
BIG BEN band I can show them his picture. and Then they can see What a
beautiful brave boy he was. he is my hero. and I will continue to pray
for all of you. much love. ~BELIEVEING~ Heather JAckson

Happy
Easter to all of you! I hope your holy week has been very spiritual and
peaceful. I was in Huntington for spring break this week, and I saw the
three of you coming out of Toys R Us. It was so nice to see you all
smiling, and Eli seemed thrilled with whatever was in the buggy. I
didn't stop you because you seemed so happy and at peace...I didn't want
to intrude on your family time. Just wanted to pass along that it did my
heart good to see that you are enjoying your time as a family and
enjoying Eli. I was amazed at the amount of people I saw wearing their
Big Ben bracelets. It seemed I saw at least one person in every store or
restaurant that I went to while I was there this week. I see them at my
school here all the time, but I was still amazed at how many are out
there in your hometown! I continue to lift your family up in prayer. God
Bless you all! Angela

Easter
holiday, is a celebration of the resurrection of Christ! Jesus Christ,
The Son of God, bled and died for us in a sacrifice. This Spring day's
celebrated, generally in the month of April. All of the bright and
pretty colors, of the Easter outfits with frills. Women and children
will wear their Easter bonnets. In the Spring, you'll hear the various
musical sonnets. April will bring many rain showers. That'll bring us
various beautiful flowers. One special flower for this day is the Easter
Lily. It's color is white, and yet snowy & milky. The birds will sing
their songs of praise. As we begin to feel the warmth of the sun's rays.
As we say "Goodbye" to the winter's gloom, The flowers and trees have
already begun to bloom. All of life's beauty, The Lord created, for us
all to share. Spring breezes begin to flow, sending fragrances through
the air. The winter's thawing will let the rivers, lakes, and streams
rise and flow. The beauty of the Earth will make us all feel aglow!

Farmers and gardeners will start to hoe. And then they'll begin to sow.
On Sundays, we'll hear the various church bells ring. Let's be grateful
for the LORD, let's rejoice and sing. If it wasn't for the Lord, we
wouldn't have anything!

Hi Tom,
Jennifer, and Eli. I wanted to wish you a happy Easter, and tell you
that you all still amaze me every day. Just reading your entries gives
me a sense of togetherness in being able to relate to someone else. I am
worried about the days ahead with my son, and hope that I can remain as
strong as you all have if that is what is in the cards for us. Thank you
again for your deep thoughts and inspiration.

Tom,
Jennifer, and Eli.
I'm
certain today was very hard without Ben. I pray you were able to feel
Gods comforting hand guiding each footstep. May he whisper softly words
of comfort as he continues to carry you through each day.
Love
you guys

Bowens,
you continue to amaze me with Ben's story and your work for the Lord.
Your a blessing to so many. I hope you enjoyed Easter Sunday. I know it
was hard without Ben, but its inspiring to know he's with the one who
died and rose again for us. I pray God gives you peace and comfort to
help you through each and everyday. You're truly amazing. I continue to
check the website daily for updates and wear my bracelet in Ben's honor.
May God Bless You! All my love.........

Bowen
family- I'm still praying for you and keeping you in my thoughts. As
I've followed your story for months on end, I've grown to love your
family. Again I want to thank you for sharing your story, for making a
difference in the world, for impacting me. Ben's story makes me want to
be a better person- give more take less. And it is with this in mind,
that I plan on dedicating my life to taking care of children like Ben.
As I finalize my plans to start medical school in the fall, I think of
Ben. And I can promise you next year he will never be far from thought.
I wish you continued strength and peace of mind. I can't even imagine
how much you miss Ben. All my love and prayers.
