When I learned of the news of Caleb's death my heart sank. Life cut so short in an instant never seeing the potential of who he would have been as a man. I can't even imagine what his family is going through. My son Chauncey considered Caleb to be one of his best friends and he was devastated when he heard the news. My heart and thoughts have been with all of the families involved since learning about the accident. I hope and pray that the community will step up and support all of the families through this most trying time. I wish that we could come for the memorial service so Chauncey could say goodbye to his friend.

My husband and I also lost a 16 yr old daughter in an auto accident. You know God wanted them for a special reason because he would not put us through all that heartache otherwise. I know you don't feel like it now but hearts will mend some, though a hole always remains. Time does due wonders. I pray harder than ever for you now. What a special day when we go to be with our Lord and our children are waiting for us. Hope you can feel all of our arms around you.
