Dear
Bowen Family, I am so deeply sorry for the loss of your precious Ben. I
can say with much certainty that he changed my life. Through your words,
so many are sharing in your grief and loving God all the same. Your
faith so clearly shines through every word - Ben's life is a true
testimony of how it just takes one person to share God's love and bring
people closer to Christ. Thank you for "believing" when we know this is
the hardest thing you ever imagined enduring in your life. Thank you for
sharing your life and your precious Ben with us. I look forward to
seeing your updates. God's peace and many blessings to you. Bless you.

Dear
Bowen Family, I am so sorry for your loss. I am a 15 years old. I feel
that God has a great plain for Ben. He is looking down on his family
right now and watching everyone right now. He is probley wishing he is
here to play with his brother but then he remembers God has a plain for
him. I am praying for your family because i know you all are in a great
deal of sadness.

I can
remember a time last year before the Disney trip, that there was a
possibility that Ben would not make it through that trip. He showed us.
He has shown us for a year that he wasn't ready to give up. I want you
to know that Ben is my HERO among heros. If I can face anything I have
to face with the dignity and grace that that child did it with, I will
be a better person because of him. My prayers are forthcoming every
night for your family, especially Eli. Please look for those signs from
your Big Ben to let you know he is with the ultimate healer. Your
journey has inspired me to be a better person. And even though I don't
have any kids of my own, I do tell my family I love them daily. Thanks
Big Ben. YOU ARE TRULY MY HERO!!!!

To the
Bowen family- I am Aaron Hunters cousin from central Illinois. I was
there In aaron and marylin's last days together, and I have seen just
how devastating This can be. I wanted to say how truly sorry I am for
your loss. I was brought to the site via aarons, and was very touched by
bens story. He truly was a precious little boy, who seemed to brighten
everyone around with just his beaming smile. We can all feel comforted
that ben and aaron are playing together now...with God, and smiling down
at us, with NO pain, NO tears, NO struggle. Just pure love. I consider
aaron one of my guardian angels, as I am sure Ben will be watching over
you. God bless...and love to you all. Teresa Johnson

To the
parents, your child was a gift that taught everyone so much about what
life is really about. Know that he is safe now and everyone is praying
for your family.

Dear
Bowen Family - you have been on my mind a lot lately. I wish that there
was something that I could do for you to ease your pain. Just remember -
when you feel that you can't make it, just reach out and take God's hand
- he is there to carry you through. I thank God for little Ben and what
he has meant to so many people. His reward is surely great in heaven.

Hi there
Eli, I just wanted you to know that I am thinking about you and praying
for you. I am praying for your Daddy and Mommy too. I know you miss your
brother Ben... but someday we will all be together with Jesus and Ben in
Heaven. Please give your Daddy and Mommy a hug and keep a great big one
for yourself. Love and God love you, Ruth

I just
returned from Disney this week and was heartbroken to read that Ben has
passed away :( I thought of your family when I saw the Grand Floridian
from the monorail and was so happy that you had that wonderful week with
Eli and Ben. God Bless Your Family and may you take comfort knowing that
Ben is resting in the arms of Jesus until you meet again.

Psalm
30:11 says "You changed my sorrow in to dancing. You took away my
clothes of sadness and clothed me in happiness." Thank you Bowen's for
being God's messengers. You all have taught me so much about love and
life and God. I am forever thankful for your son's life.

Hey guys,
I know you are trying to figure out what a "normal" life is like again.
I'm sure it is very hard. Just remember to keep on loving on Eli and
loving each other. Your strength through God has gotten you this far,
and he won't let you fall now. Missing Ben but still believing, Debbie
