I just wanted to concede my deepest sympathies to the Bowen family and those whom have been touched by Dorothy and Ben's lives. It is truly remarkable to think that a life such as Ben's and an endeering love for others such as Dorothy's could make such an impact on the community of Hunington and furthermore to the rest of our country who have followed the story continually. Dorothy showed the true serving love that was not self motivated and therefore stands as a testimony to others on how a true Christian love and self sacrafice should be conducted. In following of the Lord she has shown herself to be a true servant.

I know you're family has been in a rough spot lately and i will continue to pray for you along with a lot of people i know. You are right, Ben and his grandmother are together and cradled more importantly, in God's arms. I am fifteen years old and along with many of my friends and such, have been following Bens amazing story. His aunt graduated from our school last year and we will keep ALL of you in our prayers. Stay strong, keep your head up and dont lose faith. With Love-Briana

Dear Bowen Family,
I followed Big Ben's story. I am saddened by the loss of such a beautiful boy. I just learned now of his Nana leaving this earth. I'm sorry this brings you much sorrow. I pray you find peace and comfort in knowing Big Ben is in such sweet arms of his Nana. God bless.

What a comfort to know that Big Ben has his nana there to watch over him! I am so sorry for your double loss. But I too believe and I know they are with Jesus and running with the angels.

So much loss in one week. But yet so much love being sent to heaven. Who better to care for Ben then his loving Nana. May they play in peace.
