Dear Cheryl & Peter,
Hearing of the tragic loss of Caleb is heart wrenching. It is unimaginable. It just doesn't seem real. I felt privileged to take care of him and Cheryl during his first few days of life at the hospital. I called him "the toddler" since he weighed 11 pounds. He was beautiful as are all of your children. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your life. Only God in His infinite wisdom knows why He chose to call His precious little angel home. Know how much you are loved and thought about. May God bless you and your family. With sympathy and love,

Marion Graves

Cheryl, Peter & Family,

Cheryl I know we haven't been in touch over the years but I have to say I was so deeply saddened over Caleb's passing. Please except my sincere condolences. The only explanation I can muster as to why God would take such a beautiful child is that he needed another Angel. Caleb is safe in Gods hands. May you and your family find comfort in knowing that you will see him again one day. For today... hold on to the memories of Caleb that you hold in your heart.

God Bless you and your family

I truly believe that even though he is no longer with us physically he still is here in our hearts and minds and will be there when it is our time to cross over. Having lost both my parents I can only send you a passage from the bible that has always uplifted my spirits.

Please let me know if there is any way I can help you and your family. I am at your disposal, Your sister in Christ, Carla Surette

August 24, 2008

I am truely sorry for your loss. He was a beautiful little boy and I'm sure a bundle of joy to whom ever he encountered. When tragic things like this happen, we ask why? But we must always remember the Lord does not lead us where he cannot keep us and he never gives us more than we can handle. Though his time may have been very short, the Lord gave you Caleb to show everyone the specialness in his creations but also to cherish the time you have spent with him. Caleb may be with the Lord now but he is never truely gone because he will always be in your hearts. I may not have been able to meet this little bundle of joy but I saw how he effects people through his sister Rebecca. If there is anything I can help with, please feel free to ask. I will help any way I can.

To all of Caleb's family,

Goodbyes are not forever
And nor is it the end
When angels come to call away
A loved one or a friend.
The empty place that's left behind
Within this world we know
Reminds us just how brief a stay
we have before we go.
So when it's time to bid farewell
To one we'll dearly miss
Let's just say we'll meet again
and promise them with this......
The true gift is that love remains
Although we now must part....
Until forever and beyond
I'll keep you in my heart.

August 24, 2008

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.
