Jumbo Sized Fun
My brother Pat and his business partner Fofi used their Jack Abramoff-like lobbyist powers for good and arranged for Ben to feed the elephants at The Denver Zoo. The zoo staff was amazing and went out of their way to make Ben’s wish come true. He was a little scared, but you’re supposed to be around 10,000 and 7,000 pound elephants.
Hold on to your trunk - we got lots of pics…

Doesn’t she have beautiful eyes? And Melinda’s aren’t bad either.

Good Morning! Thanks for the pictures. Your mom told me the elephant’s left “slime” on her hands when she fed them, but she didn’t tell me about the elephant breath. WHAT A COMBINATION!
Just want you to know that, as always, you are in our thoughts and prayers. Sending much love, Rich & Dottie
What fun! And what a wonderful wish! I’m so glad you all got to go feed the elephants, and yay for the Denver zoo responding so well!
I hope you are having a great morning this morning. Andrea
What great pictures, looks like that Ben was not the only one that wished to feed the elephants! Our thoughts and prayers are will you daily, you are such a great family. Love and Hugs
I’m home from work and just had to write and let you know that I have thought of you often and with love, Dot
Looks like Ben had a great time at the zoo !!! Thanks for the pictures and the up dates you post on him. Living out of town and not being able to be close at a time like this if hard. Ben and all your family are in my prayers daily. Love Aunt Carolyn
Sending our love today. Rich & Dot
Dear family,
I wanted you to know we put little Ben on our prayer list here at New Creation Church. There is hope in Christ when all other hope fades. We will pray with a fervency for your son and for all of you. Please know our hearts are with you in this difficult time. Our prayer group just prayed a man out of an almost no chance of survival. We will be just as focused on little Ben. We love and care!
