Cade played in a Christian Rock band with my son a few years back. He was a great musician and a wonderful person!! I am very thankful for the time we got to know Cade. My heart goes out to the entire family in their time of loss. May God wrap his loving arms around you all as you heal.

I AM NOT HERE

Don't stand by my grave and weep,
For I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glint of snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the morning, hush.
For I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circle flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand by my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die.

Hopi Grief Song/Prayer

I was only blessed to know Cade for a brief moment in his life, but he has left a mark on the Vanderbilt staff that will never be forgotten. May you rest in peace. I know we will all see you again someday. My thoughts and prayers are with those loved ones you left behind.

Thank you Lord for the short time that you brought Cade into my life. Thank you for all of the smiles and laughter that Cade brought to everyone around him. I don't understand why he had to go so young but Lord I know that you have a plan for him in your Kingdom. He will be greatly missed here in this life but we will see him again and hear his music in Heaven. In Jesus' Name I pray, Amen.
