Hello
Bowen Family, I recently received an email from a friend who has the
opportunity to work with Eli at the Preschool. She expressed how great
your children are and proceeded to tell me about Ben and encouraging me
to take a look at the site that has been made for his cause. I was very
touched, and I wanted to let you know that although I may not personally
know you I am praying for your family and especially your beautiful son
during this trying time.

Hello
Tom, Jennifer, Eli and Ben: Thank you for updating us on Ben's condition
since the start of Chemo on Friday. My children and I check the site
every evening before bedtime. My 2 year old, Beckett, seems to have made
a connection with Ben while viewing the video clip of Tom and Ben saying
Hello. Beckett is now asking to see Ben and his Daddy every evening.
Beckett has said that his PaPaw can be Ben's angel too. (his papaw
passed away before he was born) I hope that one day Beckett can meet
little Ben. Our family has been truly touched by your story, especially
me. The faith that you demonstrate is remarkable and should be a
testiment for everyone who hears of your story. We will continue to lift
you up in our prayers each day. Please remember this "Then you will call
and the Lord will answer, you will cry for help and he will say hear am
I". ISA 58:9. May you continue to lean on the word of God for comfort
and guideance. May God Bless and Keep You! Keri Sites and family. P.S. I
loved the pictures of Eli's birt

Yea, I
finally got to see the webcam (at work). It was wonderful to actually
see Ben (and I guess you too Tom). His little face is so big and puffy
in that video...I miss him so! Praying specifically for your marriage
today...and as always trusting/believing God. Laura

Hey
guys.. Glad Ben isnt vomiting. Hope he continues not too. He is one
tough guy. Sounds like he is making the best of his stay at the
hospital. Making eyes at the nurses and all. :) Eli's party looked like
a GREAT time. Such a pretty weekend. I loved the pictures. He is one
handsome guy! Glad that Mommy and Daddy where able to go out and get
away for a little while. I am sure it was much needed. We check on you
guys through out the days and send a prayer. Hang in and take care.
-Becky

Hi
Jennifer ~~ we are both in Huntington at a Management Meeting and looked
on the Web page. So glad Ben is tolerating the medication. Kim says
hello and says she is sorry she has not written but she has been doing
the "Mommy stuff". Imagine she does not have any time. She was
computerless for 6 weeks and is now back to the cyber world. (I received
your activity notes, thanks) Take Care ~~ love, Barbara and Kim

Jer.
33:2-3 ,6 ,11b 2. This is what the lord says, he who make the earth, the
Lord who formed it and established it - the Lord is his name: 3. "Call
to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things
you do not know." 6. "Nevertheless, I will bring health and healing to
it; I will heal my people and will let them enjoy abundant peace and
security. 11b. "Give thanks to the Lord Almight, for the Lord is good;
his love endures forever."

Tom &
Jennifer, We visit the website daily to get updates on Ben & your
family. We are ashamed to say that this is our first time attempt at
signing the guest book. Regardless, please know that the Nolan household
prays for you ALL on a daily basis. Our 5 year old (Aaron) prays for Ben
EVERY night before he goes to bed. Regardless of how tired he is, he
always finds time to include Ben in his prays Also, the Cubbies Awana
class at Church pray for litte Ben (as they call him) every Wednesday
night. It is inspiring to hear 15-20 3 & 4 year olds praying for Ben.
Please know that you are covered in prayers by the River Cities
Community Church body. In Christ's Name, The Nolans.

wanted to take a minute and say even though i don't know the Bowen
family, i feel as though i do. i have been talking to Janet( who
obviously loves you all so deeply) as we are organizing the FR(Avon) i
am going to do for your family. I will be meeting with her Wednesday for
the first time but i can tell you as a mother and grandmother, i feel as

Ben in anyway she can. I will pray for each of you and know that god is

Had a

relax together for awhile! Eli's birthday party pictures were
wonderful--great timing for him to have a special day. With continuing
prayers for successful chemo...

Hi
"little Ben": Just read the update on how you got along today, and was
happy to hear that you were going "home" tonight. Our LORD JESUS will be
with you as you undergo another chemo treatment tomorrow, so just relax
and rest in the arms of our LORD.....He will be with you at all times.
And through HIM, we're praying that our HEAVENLY FATHER will bless and
heal you. As we pray everyday for "little Taylor", we also include you
and your family in our prayers. With much love and caring, Carole Vaughn
and family

Hi Guys,
Just looking at updates and thinking about you as we do every day. It is
so incredible to see how God is working in Ben's life. Eli's birthday
pictures were wonderful-so glad he had a good time, we know this made
him feel very special. Hope tomorrow's treatment goes well for Ben and
we are praying he has no sickness from the chemo. In Christ Love, Pat &
Mary Ann

Dear Ben
& Family, We learned about Ben's illness through prayer requests at our
church. So many people are praying for you and your family. We did not
realize until looking through your web page, that we know your
grandparents, Janet & Harry Mayenchein. They are wonderful people. Your
faith and hope have been a blessing and encouragement to us and others.
For He is "able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or
think..." God Bless, Tim & Lesa

I wanted
to let you all know that my husband spoke to our pastor yesterday in
church and inquired about the idea of a rummage sale as a fund raiser
for you all. He agreed that it would be a good idea and we will meet
with him tomorrow evening to make plans. I always handle the Lavalette
Vol. Fire Dept's Winter Bazaar each year and have many resources for
advertising. After we speak with the pastor tomorrow I will write to you
and let you know when the rummage sale will be. Hoping little Ben is
doing well and continuing to pray for him. God bless you all.

another as much as time permits! Do not miss an opportunity to tell one
another you love each other! You are special people! God Bless You!

As the
choir sang "Total Praise" Sunday and the words encouraged our hearts,
may they encourage yours... "Lord, I will lift my eyes to the hills;
knowing my help is coming from you. Your peace you give me in time of
the storm; You are the source of my strength; You are the strength of my
life. I lift my hands in total praise to You. Amen" Keep lifting your
eyes and know that there are many, many friends who love you carrying
you to the throne of grace daily. The pictures of Eli's party are great!
We'll be much in prayer for Ben and all of you this week. We love you.

Dear Tom,
Jennifer and family: I have spent the last half hour or so just going
through all of the messages people have sent you over the past month.
It's amazing how your story has traveled so far and how God's people are
calling out your names in prayer even in other countries! I haven't
signed the guest book since March 24th, but want you to know I check the
website every morning and evening. I feel like I know you personally, as
I'm sure so many other do too. My thoughts and prayers are with you
continually. I hope our Pampered Chef Fundraiser is a huge success for
your family. "My grace is sufficient for thee; for my strength is made
perfect in weakness." 2 Cor. 12:9

Hey Tom
and Jennifer: I have been checking the website for updates. I am so glad
that Ben is holding his own. I got to see the pictures from the party.
Great! Kyndle and Blakelee said they were so glad they went. I wish I
could have been there also. I worked until 2:00p.m. I will call Cathy
Sartain to check in about your immediate needs. I am praying for your
rest and sound sleep. Also, for Eli and Ben. Debbie
