I love you my darling. Even though the days get easier, my heart will never forget your loving tenderness. I will never understand why God took you home so early; therefore, I know He must have needed you more than me. Please prepare a place for me beside you.

The tide recedes but leaves bright seashells on the sand. The sun goes down but gentle warmth still lingers on the land. The music stops and yet it echoes on in sweet refrains. For every joy that passes, something beautiful remains. We will never forget the times spent with you and Ben.

Ben was the best. The one time we had the opportunity to spend some time together were filled with laughter and mostly good clean fun. I grieve with Terri and all his family and friends.

I love my Popie very very much. I liked it when he took me to the Atlanta Aquarium and to the movies to see Beverly Hills Chiguagua. We had fun going to the Braves game, he bought me a red foam finger.
We had so much fun when he pretended to unscrew my legs and arms and then I had to try to walk without legs and arms. It was sooooo funny, everybody always laughed at me walking funny.
He was the best Popie ever, I miss and love him very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very much.
Love,
Heath Bell, your only grandson.

I love Popie very much. I especially liked it when he sang my favorite song to me "Livi so Sweet, Live so nice" Livi so sweet and nice. He is so funny with his funny mustache. His mustache tickled me on my face when he kissed me. I miss him very very much.
Love,
Olivia, your granddaughter

Dear Terri,
We don't always understand the "whys" in life but we do understand our belief in God and our love for Him. He comforts us when we hurt and strengthens us as we put our trust in Him.
We only knew Ben a short time but in that time we knew he was a brother in Christ and a wonderful man. Terri, when people offer condolence to you for your loss, hold this thought close in mind. "NOTHING is ever lost if you know its location". You know Ben's location is with his Heavenly Father and how comforting is that? He is not lost but very very safe in the arms of his savior!
We love you.

I will always remember when you and Ben first met. It was all so very romantic. You and I were working together when you met and you shared a lot with me. I remember your wedding. You have lots of good memories of your time together. I know it is very rough for you now, right after losing Ben. You have all my sympathy.
Love, Marcy

I am really sad that my Popie died. He did everything that he coul for everyone. He supported my Nana and took care of all his daughters and grandchildren. His daughters names where Elissa Eberhardt, Heather Bell and Melissa Lowe. His grand children's names where Madison Gregory, Heath Bell and Olivia Bell. He was smart like an encyclopedia, he know almost everything there was to know about anything. He played with his pal Daisy 24/7. He teased about her liking UGA from the Georgia Bulldogs and her liking steak tartar. I love my Popie very very much, and will always miss him.
Love his granddaughter, Madison

Dear Terri,
We were deeply saddened when we heard about Ben. He was such a hard worker who gave so much of himself at St. Peter's Place. He was always willing to lend a helping hand and for that we will always be grateful. The Sunday after his death we closed our service by playing Spirit in the Sky in his memory. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I remember the first time I met Ben I thought he was a little odd not like my mom or us. But then as we got to know him he kind of grew on us. I know now why I thought he was odd because he was an extrodinary person, step fahter and a loving soul mate to my mother. I loved him so much for all the love he offered up unselfishly to her. He was her everything he was so much to us all in his own little wsy. Ben was always concerned for others and leaving himself last. I love him so much and he will be dearly missed and loved forever. Mon hang in there Ben would want you to be strong and not be sad as he has gone home and one day you will both be toghether again and untill then love, live and enjoy your life as Ben would have always wanted you to...

He always spoke of you Terri and his daughter - you guys rocked in his world. I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to know him. He will be missed.

I am so sorry that this has happened however try to remember "God is In Control"..I know you believe that and so did Ben. Love Linda

Dear Terri
I was so sorry to hear of your loss. Ben was a special person and together you were a match made in heaven. When the term "soul mate" was coined, they had you two in mind. That's what he seemed like to me, your "soul mate". Most people go a lifetime and never find one, you were blessed to find each other. Smile when you think of him and all the good time you shared. The memories in your heart will last a lifetime.
One day again- you will be together.

I talk to Ben every day; we are bound in one of life’s incomprehensible circumstances. I tell him that I understand how the end came too early. I feel his warmth, love and humor. Death is often graceless; but there was grace in those final lonely hours. I witnessed the careful behavior of strangers who may have seen the warning on my face and decided to tread cautiously. But I also saw the kindness and respect of those who knew the pain that would ensue for Terri. I think of all those Ben was prepared to help, those needy souls who just wanted someone with compassion and courage to give them a boost and a little self confidence. I think of how he probably embraced that day, looking forward to going out to work his magic and put some warmth and faith around the shoulders of those who felt anxious. I wonder what he was planning that day, what energy and thoughts he had about his clients, how he was missing Terri and ready for her to come home. I think his day started with a smile and happiness and even excitement about how he would own the hours ahead, that he was destined to do good. I tell him that I get it now; the lesson is not one I will soon forget. There are only so many hours left to do good. Gena

I'm Still Here:
Please don't mourn for me
I'm still here, though you don't see.
I'm right by your side each night and day
and within your heart I long to stay.
My body is gone but I'm always near.
I'm everything you feel, see or hear.
My spirit is free, but I'll never depart
as long as you keep me alive in your heart.
I'll never wander out of your sight-
I'm the brightest star on a summer night.
I'll never be beyond your reach-
I'm the warm moist sand when you're at the beach.
I'm the colorful leaves when fall comes around
and the pure white snow that blankets the ground.
I'm the beautiful flowers of which you're so fond,
The clear cool water in a quiet pond.
I'm the first bright blossom you'll see in the spring,
The first warm raindrop that April will bring.
I'm the first ray of light when the sun starts to shine,
and you'll see that the face in the moon is mine.
When you start thinking there's no one to love you,
you can talk to me through the Lord above you.
I'll whisper my answer through the leaves on the trees,
and you'll feel my presence in the soft summer breeze.
I'm the hot salty tears that flow when you weep
and the beautiful dreams that come while you sleep.
I'm the smile you see on a baby's face.
Just look for me, my love, I'm everyplace!

Terri, I pray in time, that your wonderful memories of Ben will ease the pain in your heart and once again bring a smile to your face.

Dear Terri,
My deepest condolences to you and yours during this time of loss, but we are not like those without hope! We'll see Ben again when our Lord returns or should He tarry and we depart this earth prior to His return.
Our circumstances for meeting and interacting were unique and some would even say coincidental, but we know there are no "mere coincidences" with God. Be encouraged, my sister. There is work for you still yet to do. May God continue to give you His grace to run race until you see Him face to face.

I think I met Ben only once, but I could see his love and devotion to Terri through that one acquaintance.
Ben was a very accomplished man, as I have learned from reading his obituary, but the greatest thing about him is he had a heart for those he loved, for others and a deep love for God.
What a comfort to know he is now in the care of Christ where we may one day join and rejoice with him.
But what a great loss to those who are left behind until that day.
I pray peace and comfort, especially to those who were closest to him.

Benjamin Matthew Lowe, our nephew and friend, spiritually and intellectually, left us too soon. He is with his Lord and with father and mother, but we must with our memories in till we can be with him again. Wife and friend, Terri, God bless you. Sister Sally, God bless you. Daughter Melissa, God bless you---your father loved you. While his intellectual accomplishments were many, his greatest accomplishment was simply to be a friend to those near him and a friend to the Lord who redeemed him.

I'm so so so saddened at the loss of Ben I just can't find the words to express my emotions; he endured so much and worked so hard all his life that it feels especially tragic to me. Though I am far away and have been for so many years, I still feel the loss. I can only begin to imagine what it must be like for Terry, Sally, Melissa, and all others who were a part of his daily life. I'm so glad I got to spend an evening with him, Terry and Aunt Nell in August of 2006. He was truly a remarkable man. Love to you all at this time

Terri, I am so sorry to hear about Ben. Since we haven't talked much, I have no idea if it was a shock to you too or it was expected. Either way, I know you must be hurting. I can still remember your wedding and how you guys were so good together. You will be in my prayers. I'm sure Ben is enjoying rejoicing in Heaven and you will be when you to see him again. Take care, June

Ben is my first cousin. I'm 42 now, with a wife and 3 kids and a very busy life. It has been a long time since I last talked to Ben, but I will always remember Ben Lowe. My first memory of Ben goes back to my very first vacations as a little boy (ages 8-10) to Florida...first a week in Jacksonville, then later 2 weeks at Ponta Vedra at a private beachhouse (truly one of the best vacations ever). I remember Ben throwing the football with me and me thinking how intense his facial expressions were when he ran a passing route...it was so funny I couldn't throw the ball because I was laughing so hard. I remember playing putt putt in St. Augustine, and Ben getting so frustrated that he threw his putter in the St. Johns River (at least that's how I remember it...that was a long time ago). That was sooo funny. Those are good memories (and there's more), but I need to say now that Ben truly was a great man. Accomplished (despite life's obstacles), inteligent, faithful and a man of integrity. He lived a life that honored his family, and honored his heavenly father. I am thankful for heaven and proud of my family heritage...and Ben is and will always be a part of that. Terri, Sally and to all of our family, I am truly sorry for this loss, but know that we will see Ben again...where there will be no tears...but instead joy..and maybe a little football and putt putt.
Sincerely,
Sarah Littleton

Dearest Terri,
I will never understand why God always calls the good ones home so early in there
lives. We are so very sorry for your loss. I can not begin to know your pain. I do know that God is with you although it is hard to believe at this tragic time in your life. The one time I met Ben he seemed to be so nice and I could see you and he were in love. Our talks by phone and F/B let me know you had finally gotten a beautiful man inside and out to grow old with. He was so smart and even though your time together was short, you found your true love. Some people never get that. I love you and any time you need me I am there for you. Ben, make a nice place for Terri when she comes to be with you& God. Watch over her everyday and let her feel your love though far away as I know you will be reunited someday. Terri,I told you The other night I can not stop praying for you. God keep you in the shelter of his arms as you reajust to life in a new way. We will be in touch with you once you settel in Jax. again.

Dear Terri,
No words can ever express how I feel about a man who was such an important part of my life since we met in 1996 at the Bull Run Troubadours. Since then, Ben and I have been through a lot, both good times and bad, but I always felt that no matter rough times were for him, Ben rarely let it get to him. I remember especially his law school graduation, Nell's 80th in 2006, and, most of all, your wedding in October 2009 when I had the honor to be best man. One of the things I shall most miss is calling Ben and enjoying the pleasure of his always interesting discourses. I wish you and your family all the best. I am sorry I cannot make the services but you and your family will be in my thoughts and in my prayers. Anna and Sarah join with me in expressing our great sorrow. They also have fond memories of Ben's trips to Virginia. Love, Martin

Ben will be missed by all who knew him, I have never met a man with so much love to give, He was a Charter Member of "The Potomac Ramblers", formed in the early 90's in WDC area. this is where I got to meet Ben. Always positive, always helping anyone in need, always smiling and always showing his love for his daughter.
Yes, Ben, you will be missed by everybody you came in touch with, That is for sure. I know I will miss you as well as the over 100 members of the Potomac Ramblers.

To Ben's Loved Ones and to his Beloved Terri:
When we learned of Ben's sudden passing, our hearts broke at the emptiness and void his absence was sure to leave behind. Ben had the wonderful ability to relate to anyone, no matter his/her walk in life. He captured his dreams, making them his realities... and shared the joy of the journey with all of us. He loved deeply and unconditionally; especially, his Terri. We are honored to have called him "friend" and are confident that we will see him again one day. This amazing gentleman of our past is now one who has become a part of our future. We look forward to that reunion. God bless you, Terri/family, as you face the days ahead. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. We love you. Wayne and Shirley Nash

What a gift Terri gave me when she married Ben. What a great friend he has been to me. I will miss our conversations, his laugh, his big amazing brain and most of all hearing him there at the other end of the phone line laughing and talking with Terri and me on our "I've put you on speakerphone" calls. Ben Lowe was a fine and decent man and a loving friend, he is deeply missed.
