I didn't know Caleb, but to know that he was a child of the King's and is walking the streets of gold....Chills! Heartbreaking and hard to wrap your arms around a child going before is tough, but God knows and He understands. Praying that your hearts will be at pease and prayers from a stranger because my heart hurts with yours!

Jason & Family,
There are no words to ease your pain. Please know that my family and I have been and will continue to earnestly pray for all of your family in the days and years ahead. May God give you the peace that only He can grant. It is obvious by the comments here that Caleb was a special and very loved young man!
