This
weekend was Camerons 2nd Birthday party today is his actual Birthday and
I cannot help but to think of Ben. I think it is awesome that in your
time of finding a new normal you are able to go to St. Jude and support
the friends you made in there time of need. I pray for them all and hope
that they can be healed here on earth. God bless you all and as you know
you are always in my prayers.

I went to
St Jude this past Saturday and when I pulled up to the gate, I thought
of your family. Seeing the hospital there, I wondered what you thought
the first time you saw it. From reading your last entry, I know you were
full of strength and hope...I pray that you always carry that hope and
strength with you, for Ben, and for all the other children there. God
will be with you as you walk through the halls of St Jude, as will Ben.

Tom,
Jennifer and Eli, I just to let you know that you are forever in my
thoughts and prayers. It sounds as if your trip to Memphis was full of
bittersweet emotions. You all must have had heavy hearts walking through
the halls of St. Judes. Just remember that you were not without Ben. He
was right there with you. I continue to keep your family and of course
Ben in my prayers. I know that he is laughing and smiling in Big Ben
fashion in Heaven. The sky is so sunny here today, I can only assume
that it is because all of the Baby Angels are smiling down on their
loved ones and all who care about them. Ben will never be forgotten.
Always BELIEVING - Barb

I went to
St. Jude last Thursday to drop off part of the $4000 gift to the
hospital, in Ben's name. When I told them who we were honoring, their
faces lit up. They had all been keeping up with your family's story.
They are still keeping up with you, finding much encouragement in your
faith and your determination to help fight this disease. My family's
prayers are with you as you forge on in this fight, and in life.

I felt
honored to be there to witness the ceremony that celebrated Ben's life.
My son Joe wanted you to know he raised $75 for St. Jude through his
Math a thon. He was very proud and so was I. The day we turned in the
money I prayed for your family and the thousands more who have
traveled/are traveling your path. Even though I couldn't say any words
that day, I hope the hugs let you know how much I care and think of you
both and little Eli.

It was so
good to see your smiling faces, even through the toughest times right
now for yall. Eli is getting so big it looked like he had grown a foot
taller. It's always a joy watching the parents having to watch out for
the children riding the tricycles. Be carefull on your trip back home
and hope to see you again. Believing Kristi

Tom and
Jennifer, My heart is broken for you. I just sit here and can't even
imagine seeing you at St. Jude without Ben. McKinley spent the night
with a family member the other night and I was sick from missing her. I
began to think of you two. I can't even fathom. I thought how would I
feel if I knew that she wasn't 15 minutes away. I could not sleep the
rest of the night. The only assurance that we have is that Ben is with
Jesus. I think the trip to Memphis is going to be hard, but time with
David and Tammy is always a comfort for you. We love you and call us
when you get home. I think the Walk-a-thon is going to big. We are
getting a great response from people. WQBE has committed to helping and
we plan to get the news stations involved. As always you are in our
prayers. Brian Amanda Joshua and Mckinley

I read
your entire story and updates about Ben tonight. Starting from the
bottom, little did I know that this journey would end so recently for
you (last month). My heart goes out to you and your loss. I will pray
for you. I have worked in a hospital and working with the really sick
children was so hard. Please hug Eli for me, I am especially sad in his
loss at such a young age. Love, Jen

I am just
dropping a line to let you know I check on you everyday and my heart is
with you. I am sure when you look back on your life someday in heaven
you will only see one set of footprints in the sand for this time
period, because God is carrying all of you right now. Kim Hellmann

You are
in my thoughts and prayers everyday. Please, if you do come to Disney
with Eli, call or e-mail me. I would love to come down and say, hello to
you and mom (Alicia) would too. It's been a while since we've seen each
other (Union Missionary Baptist). I hope you received my e-mail that I
sent Feb 28th. If not, just let me know so you can know exactly who I
am. :) Praying and thinking of you always, Love In Christ, Stefany

Hello, I
wanted to let you know my sons 4th grade class, as well as the 5th and
6th grade classes (only about 30 students, this is a small school) at St
Lawrence School in Ironton, OH participated in the St. Jude's Mathathon.
They were able to raise $1,167, and made the donation to St. Jude's in
honor of Ben. The kids are aware of Ben's story and many can be seen
wearing Big Ben wristbands. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Kevin, Jennifer, Eli, and Jonah Lewis

My
prayers and thoughts go to Ben's family, he touched my heart more than
anything in the world. Never have I seen so much courage in a little
person like I seen in Ben.God works in mysterious ways and I know in my
heart Ben is up in heaven and bringing joy to all the angels, he has
earned his wings.
