Caleb's life has inspired me. Though few,his days on earth were well spent. I hope to live for God as strongly and be a testimony that shines as brightly. I picture him rejoicing in heaven now.

Barb & Larry, It is with a saddened heart that I heard about the death of your son. The service these young people give for their country is very much appreciated by my husband and me, and I would hope our Nation appreciates their service. Our sympathy to you and your family. We will continue to keep you in our prayers.
