I pray that you will find comfort in the difference that Caleb made in the lives of those that he came in contact with. My family and I met Caleb several years ago on the SWJSL soccer fields. Every time I saw Caleb since that first meeting, he would take the time to stop and talk to me. I have yet to meet a more kind and well-mannered young man in all of my life. May God bless you as you deal with the loss of this special person.
