Benjamin Stowell

Tim, Stacey, James, and family; I can't believe its been over 14 years since Ben has gone to be with GOD. I'm sorry we haven't kept in touch, but I still think about Ben being such a trooper during his battle with cancer when I see these children fighting for their lives now. I just wanted to let you know that I joined St. Jude's in honor of Ben. Feel free to reach out if you would like.

We will remember Ben on the 12th of October. We think of him often and I wear his little white pin on my blazer, (the Green Drakko Man). He will always be remembered by everyone who met him. We are friends of the family- Faye Gerard ,his grandmother and her daughters.

I'm the Son of Caroline Condon. She worked with Mr. Stowell at IGC. I don't know your family well but I understand the loss. I just wished to give my sympathy for your loss around the holiday season and hope you will always recognize the wonderful time you have spent with Ben. My prayers are with you also.

Tim,Stacy,and James. I had Ben's prayer card on my kitchen table when my eldest grandson came in. He saw it and said, did you know Ben. I explained how I came to meet Ben through Ms Kathy and saw him at the hospital. He said his girlfriend also knew Ben. Seem her father is a member of the Latham fire dept where Ben was honored as a member. This great big world seems to shrink so quickly when we come together for something. Our little hero lives on through memories and friends. You're in...

To the Stowell Family,
I just received the news on Monday about Ben. I want you to know how very sorry I am for your loss. I want to thank you for letting me be a part of Ben's and yours family. Even though I have never met Ben or talked to him, I feel like I knew him. I always enjoyed writing him letters and telling him about my family and the things we were doing. I loved sending him pictures of everyone, so he knew who I was talking about. Ben was a very brave and courageous...

To the Stowell Family,

I am so sorry for your loss. Camp Adventure was a better place this past summer due to both the boys presence there. Ben never stopped smiling the entire week. Thank you for sharing him with us. You will all be in our thoughts and prayers.

Unfortunately I never met Ben personally but taught his dad and coached him in soccer at WHS. I was a bit hesitant to attend Ben's funeral, thinking it would be such a sad and depressing event. How surprised I was to find it so joyous and upbeat, no doubt the way a Christian service should be. I was so impressed by the love and caring nature of all involved. What a tribute to a young man who apparently lived a life fuller than what most adults experience. I wish the family well as they...

To James and Ben's mom and dad and the rest of the family. My name is Amy. I had the pleasure to get to know your boys and hang with them during the week at Camp Adventure this past summer. I did not know how sick Ben was and I am so very saddened to hear of his passing. Ben and I bonded a bit at camp.. he was a smart, funny, and kind of old beyond his years kid. I remember at field day... getting him a piece of pizza - even though he told me was kind of particular about his pizza.. and I got...

Tim, Stacy and James,

Please accept our deepest sympathies.
Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.
Love,
