Dearest Mike and Family,
My heart is shattered at this news and I know full well the pain of a broken heart at the loss of a child. Caleb will ever be ingrained in my heart as I think of how adorable he was when we attended Hutch SDA. I always thought of him as such a beautiful soul even though I didn’t get to spend much time with him. As I watched him the 4.5 years we were there, I will never forget when he and his friends would come to church all styled up with neat hairdo’s and clean and neat church clothes. I thought, “there are kids who are going to stand up for the right no matter what”. He was a such a sweet boy and he grew into such a handsome man, and I can’t wait to see him again at the Coming of Jesus! Please know that we are praying for you as you go through these coming hard years. Losing a child is the most painful thing in this world. If you need to talk, give us a call…
