My heart is breaking at the loss of my beloved grandson, Caleb. He was a beautiful soul....with a smile that lit up a room and a laugh that was contagious. He lived life to the fullest....and loved his fiance Marie and his family with all of his heart. Anytime Caleb was around was fun and full of joy. You always knew you were special to him....because he always let you know....in little ways. He was generous, smart, loving, funny, helpful, kind, supportive.....and always went out of his way to help others in need. He had a zeal for life....and loved to hike, kayak, play video games and wrestle with his brothers. Caleb was always thinking, and enjoyed deep talks about life. His passing will forever leave a hole in our hearts.....but we are grateful that God Blessed us, for even this short time, to be able to watch this beautiful young soul grow up....I pray now that he's in the loving arms of the Lord.....at peace.....and looking down on those of us who loved him so much.
