Cale, I’ve never heard any grieving parent say that time heals all wounds.  I’ve learned that in time we just become more used to the pain. We learn to live with it.  And since you can’t come back, and I was thrust into a future without you, this wound will never heal-Not as long as I live here on earth. But even if I live to be 100 years-old, what’s that compared to all eternity? Our Lord promised to Make All Things New and I am, as Saint Paul said, "Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity..." Titus 2:13-14
And so I wait.  I miss you every moment of every day.  ~Mama

There are so many wonderful memories I had with Caleb. It's hard to pick only one fond moment. I remember having English class with him and he would sit behind me and play with my hair. He used to tell me he didn't want me to wear my hair up for that reason lol other times he would either fall asleep which Ms. Valore would appoint me to wake him up or he would read a Terry Brooks book instead of paying attention. Ill never forget when he was in the hospital a week before prom after he was accidentally shot by clayton with bb gun. I offered to come to the hospital for prom and as he laid in the hospital bed he responded "I waited 4 years to take u to prom. This isn't going to stop me"...and it didn't. Words cannot describe how much Caleb meant to me and still means to me! I wish i would have told him how i truly felt about him. I think about Caleb daily and more often than not I cry because I deeply miss him!! I will forever keep your memory with me Caleb and a smile comes to my face whenever my son tells people he's named after his mommy's friend! You truly are one of my greatest friends I will ever have!!

Caleb was one of the most genuine people I have ever met.  He cared so much about other people, I wish there were more people like him.  I have many memories of him, but some of the most fond ones included senior prom, where he took a picture with all of us girls, in a cowboy hat. That night was awesome, dancing and having a wonderful time with him and all our friends.  Also, he loved to gross me out by taking his tooth out! Even though it made me sick, i asked him to do it everyday for me.  My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends today.  It does not ever get easier to have lost someone, we just become used to it, sadly :(.  Miss you caleb!

It's hard to believe that it's already been 8 years since tragedy touched our lives. I'll remember the moment I heard the news of Caleb's passing forever, and there will never be an October 27th that passes without a feeling of loss and sadness. Whitey was, and will forever be, one of my closest friends. I miss him terribly, miss the times we shared together when days and life were simpler. I was forever changed by you Whitey, you were a living lesson of devotion to family and friends, and that's something I intend to pass on to my children one day. You'll never be forgotten, and I'll hold you in the fondest of memory. Until we meet again, on the other side of heaven, rest easy my friend. I miss you.

Wow! It's hard to believe it's been 8 years aince one of my best friends and trusted companion left this world. I think of him often, wishing he were still here to hang out and play board games with me. He was a great person, his smile was infectious and everyone what I loved about him most was his character. Good or bad you knew exactly who Caleb was and what he stood for quickly after meeting him. He knew who he was and what he stood for. He was a strong man that departed too quickly for our liking, I lost a friend and a brother. The world lost a good man. I love you Caleb, hope you are well!

As you can see from the other posts, Caleb ment a lot to so many people. We had a very special friendship that I miss. We had the opportunity to have a lot of fun together, as well as some very personal talks that I will remember for a long time. His dedication to our band, and willingness to be anywhere at anytime no matter the circumstances ment so much to us as well. You don't forget people like Whitey.I miss you and look forward to seeing you again some day.

Caleb was one of the best men I have ever had the privilege of knowing and being friends with. Some of my oldest and best memories were made with him growing up. He left a mark on my life as he did with everyone he met. I can truly say that I lost a brother that day. I pray for his soul's well being and for those he left behind. God Bless and may we all see him when it is our time to come home.
