Today is 3 months that I lost my sweet boy, Georgie who was only 18 years old. I remember hearing the news of you Kaleb and I can't tell you how often I think of that and how your loved ones felt. I now know how they felt and still feel. There are no words for such pain when you lose a child and especially so young and tragic. I'm sure you have met my Geo by now and I can only imagine you are buddies now. I pray that you help watch over him up there too. I pray that you still sends signs as much as you can to your loved ones, as we need it as often as you can give it. (P.S. Pass that along to all of them up there too, not just Geo :) A saying I read last night will forever be in my mind: "The moment your heart stopped, mine changed forever. " Sending love, hugs and special memories to all of our family and loved ones in heaven and to my family and loved ones still here on earth. XOXO, Your cousin Rachel Miller

I was lucky enough to meet Kaleb in Bloomington and spend some time with him over the last few years. Easily one of the nicest, most genuine people I've ever met. His personality is something that I, and everyone else who knew him, will always keep alive.

The world lost an excellent young man, but I hope you find peace in knowing how positively he was able to affect the lives of so many.
