We all love Caleb so much, and the pain of his sudden departure hurts to the bone. One can only imagine the pain the family suffers. His absence will always be apparent. May God increase your peace and joy a little more each day. We love you all.

My daughter is a student at LSW and she did not know Caleb but I just wanted to say how sorry I am for your loss. From all I have read about him, he sounds like a really great kid. Gone way to soon but I do believe he is in a better place. My thoughts are with your family.
