Lois,I express my deepest sympathy to you and the Caleb family on behalf of John who was an outstanding citizen. The angels were walking through the garden and saw a beautiful flower withering away and a sweet voice from heaven demanded the angels to pluck the flower and bring it back to heaven and that flower was John Caleb. Be bless my sister in christ.

To: Gail, Daphine, Jo , Nina & The Caleb Family
I was so sorry to hear about Mr.Caleb passing.I can remember just like it was yesterday when we were all young girls and I use to come over to the Caleb Family Home to play with Gail and Mr.Caleb would open the front door he always had a very serious look on his face. I was so afraid of him just from his looks.(SMILE).You know I understand just how you all feel at this time because I lost my father when I was 12years old. Mr. Caleb was like a father to me and he treated me with kindness and corrected me as if I was one of his own daughters.Let me just say that you all are bless because your father live a full life he got to see his daughters grow up , get married have his grand-childrens and those are good memories he has cherish and have now taken them with him.I remember Mr. Caleb as being a very strong will and proud man ' He Said What He Mean And Mean What He Said' . And I guess that's why I had such a high respect for him then and now . I will keep all of you in my prayers may god comfort you all in this healing time process.Gail if you should need anything please call me I'm just an phone call away.

To The Caleb Family
We are sorry we can’t be with you today, but our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Our destination is a place,
Far greater than we know.
For some the journey's quicker,
For some the journey's slow.
And when the journey finally ends,
We'll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the Lord.
May you find comfort in knowing that earth has no sorrow that Heaven can't heal.
