Not sure what to say?

RIP.

Lisa and family, I am so very sorry. May memories of Caleb and the love of family surround you and give you strength in the days ahead.

I worked with Caleb at IPG, Caleb was an amazing person, always had a huge smile on his face, always fun to be around, the type of person that would put everything aside to help you out. In fact when my house burned down, Caleb asked if there was anything I needed, and he gave me some clothes. I will always remember his smile, he was a great person to work with and be around, he will be greatly missed by many many people.

We will miss you my friend, may the good Lord hold you close

So sorry Lisa, LOVE you and GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS
