Even with the death of my husband, as terribly difficult as that was and still is after 5 1/2 years...the death of a child.........I can't even imagine.
Please know that you are very much in my thoughts and prayers and will be that way for a long time.
May God give you strength and comfort, second by second, as you walk through this, more than difficult, journey.
May He pull you close and hold you next to Him.

With great sadness and tears

We were so touched by your sermon on Sunday. To see you there after going through the tragic death of your Dad showed us what strength God can give. We pray for that continued strength for you.

I don't know how many more ways we can say how sorry we are or how much we hate the pain you are going through at this time. Our hearts are heavy, we can't even imagine how broken your hearts are.

God Bless you and keep you. May his face shine upon you and be gracious and give you peace.

My heart breaks thinking about losing our wonderful brother-in-Christ, Caleb. I hold dear to my heart the stories you shared about him in sermons, and how proud you are of him for his accomplishments in school and basketball. He was a light shining out to all who knew him.
I can't imagine the pain of losing a child, I just know that God's grace is abundant and His love is never-ending. It is times like this when our faith can be shaken, and we have to remember that all things are taken care of in God's hands. Our minds cannot understand His divine reasoning, all we can know that Caleb is in a better place than we are, and right now he is hand-in-hand with his grandfather, worshipping our Creator. My prayers are around you, Koke family, along with many, many others'- you ARE being lifted up in this!
Thank you for always being a beacon of God's love and grace to our family and community. You are greatly loved.

Just after we returned home, and opened our e-mail, we read with tears in our eyes and feelings of sorrow in our hearts the terrible news about Caleb.
What a deep tragedy.
We just met him, and all of your family, last week.
After the Memorial Service on Thursday, I, tante Nel, had a emotional moment and I went sitting down, grieving and crying, in one of the benches in the church.
It was Caleb who came and put an arm around me. When all of you left on Monday, he hugged me, and I said: I will never forget that you, Caleb, put your arms around me that day. He answered: me too!
So lovely a person.

We have no other words at this moment. We pray for all of you, and are deeply concerned.

My heart breaks with you right now. I know first hand what you are going through, because I lost my 34 year old daughter on January 1, 2008 unexpectedly from complications with influenza pneumonia. There are no words to offer to ease the pain. However, after 18 months, I do know the reality of the presence and comfort the Lord brings into a believers life in this extremely painful situation. You are continually in my prayers. May the Peace of the Lord which passes all understanding mount guard over your heart today & the days to come.

Just after we returned home, and opened our e-mail, we read with tears in our eyes and feelings of sorrow in our hearts the terrible news about Caleb.
What a deep tragedy.
We just met him, and all of your family, last week.
After the Memorial Service on Thursday, I, tante Nel, had a emotional moment and I went sitting down, grieving and crying, in one of the benches in the church.
It was Caleb who came and put an arm around me. When all of you left on Monday, he hugged me, and I said: I will never forget that you, Caleb, put your arms around me that day. He answered: me too!
So lovely a person.

We have no other words at this moment. We pray for all of you, and are deeply concerned.
We only can repeat the words your dear mother and oma wrote: may God have mercy.

In our thoughts we are very near all of you.

Ecclesiastes 3
A Time for Everything
1 There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:
2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,

3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,

4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,

5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,

6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,

7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,

8 a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.

It is during times such as this that God knows just who we are and depends on us as much as we do Him. Know that God is with you during this time and all other times but also know that He believed in Caleb's family to trust in God more now than ever before. Trust that He has a purpose and that this will effect so many people...young and old. This may push some away but will hopefully bring so many more closer to God during this time.

I do not attend your church nor do I know your personally, but my wife and I will keep you guys lifted up as fellow partakers in His amazing Grace. May these words bring comfort and confidence to your soul.

It Is Well With My Soul

When peace like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.

My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live:
If Jordan above me shall roll,
No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life,
Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.

But Lord, 'tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait,
The sky, not the grave, is our goal;
Oh, trump of the angel! Oh, voice of the Lord!
Blessed hope, blessed rest of my soul.

And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.

(I would highly recommend John Piper's Teaching on the book of Job&Suffering)

We came to know you when our children, Jonathan and Jenni Spuler were part of your team in Austin. You stood with us during the year I battled breast cancer and supported Jenni and Jonathan with your love. I will never forget that your out-pouring of love and concern.
Please know it is my honor to pray and stand with you during this unimaginable loss. Tom and I will lift you up continually and believe God to do what only He can do; comfort the broken-hearted.
Though I never met Caleb I heard much about him from Jonathan and Jenni; his athletic prowess, etc. It is obvious from his picture that he was a delight and I am so so sorry that he is gone.

I cannot even put into words the shock and profound sorrow I feel. To my memory, Caleb is that precious, sweet-natured, blond, curly-headed student in my Fourth Grade class at Shoreline. What a privilege it was for me to have a small part in his growth and development. But, even before that,the Shannans and all of their children and grandchildren have blessed our lives through 50+ years. Caleb brought so much joy to all who knew him, and he will definitely be missed.
There are no adequate words to express our sympathy, but God's Words are that He will NEVER leave you nor forsake you. He will bear you up on wings of glory. We pray you will rest in Him and the love of all who care.

I am so sorry for your precious lost, there are not enough words to bring comfort, to ease the pain your are both going through right now. God is sovereign, God is peace, God is all loving, and only He can give you the comfort and strength and peace you are searching for right now. Answers to reasons why, is beyond our understanding why this had to happen. But to know the true fact that your son is face to face with Jesus, home with our beautiful savior, majesty and king, that someday we all will reunite as believers and rejoice, and finally be at home with Him.

We are very saddened by the news of Caleb and are praying for the Lord to help you get through this enormous loss. Caleb & grandpa are at home with Jesus.
I was given the book His Passion, Christ’s Journey this past Sunday for my birthday and inside was written a note & page no. for me to read that a close friend said comforted her. I also found it comforting. It’s on pg 323 day 291 and reads as follows:
Luke 23:46 Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit” When he had said this, he breathed his last. Even with His dying breath, Jesus was still King. The one who said that no man could take His life from Him died at the appointed time and in the appointed way. In the Old Testament the literal statement for the moment when the Passover Lamb was to be killed was “between the evenings,” which according to Jewish tradition was somewhere between three in the afternoon and six in the evening.. Jesus was crucified on the exact day that the Passover Lambs were being killed John 18:28 at 3:00pm He cried out His last, fulfilling His role as “the Lamb of God, Who takes away the sin of the world” (John 1:29)
Jesus died according to the purposes of Divine Providence, not the whims of cowardly men. Just so, you and I will die, not according to the will of cancer, not according to the will of an erratic drunk cruising along the highway, not according to the will of a painful disease. We will die under the good hand of God’s providential care. We will pass through the curtain according to God’s clock, not the time-table of random fate. Author Erwin Lutzer

I feel so sad for you in what must be an absolutely devastating time for you and your family. The only solace I have is knowing that eventually--maybe not for a long, long time, but eventually--you will find God's handiwork in this immense loss. I know this in my heart of hearts because it is what you have taught me (taught us all, really), what you have shared in your observations about life, and what I have seen come to fruition in the lives of my children through having faith like what you demonstrate to us. You (and so many others at the incredible sanctuary that is Shoreline) taught me to pray and to believe without ceasing, and you never, ever let me give up on God. So I know that you will not give up now either, even at this time that makes no (humanly) logical sense.

Pastor Laura, as a mother, I cannot imagine what you are going through and I pray that all of the love you have shared with all of us and with our children will return to you and comfort you as you make this incredibly difficult journey through the grieving process. You have been a great example of strength to many of us moms. Let us be strong for you now. I feel that I should share a memory I have of you to let you know that all your love and caring does not go unnoticed. I went to you for prayer about my children a couple of years ago. You held my hands and let me cry, and you listened to my pain through my sobs; but what I remember the most is how you looked at me with such honest compassion and caring. I want you to know that I am doing that for you now in your time of horrific loss and need, even though I am not with you physically to hold your hands as you held mine. God has linked us all together and I am trusting that He, in His infinite goodness and compassion, is now consoling you with our prayers for you and the rest of the Koke family. You will make it through this and we are here to help you.
Much love in Christ to you all,
Tricia

joy. Now, the time has come all too premature for Caleb to return to our HEAVENLY FATHER and share all the riches our LORD has promised to those that LOVE and serve HIM. The words of those people expressing their love for you and your family; whom you have touched through your ministry are a shining example of the rich inheritance Caleb takes to the LORD.
I am reminded of the time Estela and I lost our Mom (2004) and your family was there for Estela. Now allow those that care and love you, be there for you. Our GOD is an AWESOME GOD and HE will see your family through this . With our deepest sympathy....Estela's sister (St.Johna)

We could always tell he was always looking up to you both for the best guidance in his life. Now, he is your guys guardian angel looking down on you guys, sitting next to OPA (your dad Rob). He was always an amazing friend to my little brother, Andrew. Andrew was close to him. He always had fun playing basketball with Caleb when they were both in J-hi together out in the SEC. There was a couple of times when I was upstairs in the TV office, he made some of us laugh when some of us were upset about something. Caleb was a great friend to everyone from TV and other ministries.

Words fail us. Our hearts cry with you.

A brother in the Lord, who had much tragedy in his life once said...

Praise the Lord, O my soul;
all my inmost being, praise His holy name.
Praise the Lord, O my soul,
and forget not all His benefits -

And a glowing testimony to those who trust God:

"Because he loves me," says the Lord,
"I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
He will call upon me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
With life I will satisfy him
and show him my salvation."

Our continued prayers are lifted for you.

We want to express our deepest condolenses to you all at this time of overwhelming grief and sorrow. Words cannot adequately convey to you the ache we feel in our hearts for what you are experiencing in the sudden departure to heaven of your beloved son Caleb. We understand some of what you are going through as we, too, suffered through the sudden loss of a dear little son, Ryan, back in 1996 when he was less than two.

You may not remember, but shortly afterward, you wrote us a very nice letter expressing your concern, comfort and that you were praying for our family. We treasured your words of comfort and still have that letter saved along with so many other precious cards and letters that represent a tower of hope and faith against a pit of despair. Our Lord Jesus along with the prayers and love of the saints helped us walk through that long, deep valley of the shadow of death. He promises to do the same for your whole family, for nothing can separate you from His love, though it's hard to feel it at times like this. The Lord loves Caleb so dearly...so many things that happen in this life cannot be explained with pat answers, yet what remains true is God's mercy, love and faithfulness to those who trust Him to the uttermost. We count it a great privilege to offer up prayers to our loving Father in heaven on behalf of your precious family, knowing that the same great God who carried us through our darkest night, will also carry you in His arms safely through this raging tempest. May His comfort surround you like a soft pillow, His love and peace that passes all understanding fill your hearts and minds as you trust Him and lean into Jesus' perfect love that casts out all fear.
We will be keeping your family foremost in our prayers--if there's anything we can do to help in any way, we are at your service (and the Lord's).

With love and prayers,
Leslie and Kevin Vandivier

Caleb and your dad are safe and happy with Jesus now together in the presents of the Lord. As the world prophecies are fullfilling at an unbelievable rate, we all to will be home soon.

I strongly believe in that and we will all (the believers) be together with the Lord. Our family is there for any support you need. We are all praying in your return as your family goes through mourning. God bless your family and may the Lord give your family strength during such a trial.

We attended Shoreline when Caleb was about 9 or 10 and I remember what a great son you always said he was which I'm sure he was. My daughter, Bonnika is also 17 years old and I just can't imagine what I'd be feeling if something happened to her. I ask myself "Why?" wishing I had the answer. Only God knows and I know the entire Shoreline Family - near and far - share in your grief for the loss of a lovely person. I remember you preaching about having a mansion in heaven right next to Laura's. Well, Caleb's gone on to prepare his mansion and you'll have make sure yours will be next to his as well.

Know that God understands even when you want to question him, just ask the Chapman family, What i am saying is, there are no words, or set patterns or time limits on your healing process, Above all Don't let Satan make you think because you are this "super Pastor" you cannot grieve, This is a huge loss, I loved Caleb, he was a bright shinning star, I often visited with him when I drove him around in the cart!!You are all in my prayers!!

Words can not express our heavy heart at this time. Our son Jt and Caleb played select basketball together. I always admired Pastor Rob watching his boy play, he like my husband was a side line coach and encourager. I remember telling James, "that Caleb is the delight of his heart" It was so beautiful to see the way you looked at him, the pride and love that you showed. Caleb was always a good sport, played with all he had and was an encouraging team mate. Our family stands with you along with the rest of the body. There are no words on a day like this.

I have been praying for your family all day. I have been crying out to God to raise Caleb from the dead. I felt like the Lord told me, " Caleb is alive...forevermore....with Me, just not there on earth." The Lord showed me Caleb. He is happy, joyful.

Just know I will continue to pray for you. My stomach has been churning all day, and in my throat. My heart is aching for you. We are family. I may not be a blood relative, but I am a BLOOD relative.

You are such a passionate family, in love and life. Caleb is continuing that legacy in the presence of our Lord and Saviour Jesus.

We love you all very much.

I do not have the words to express my feelings for you in this time of loss and despair. I worked with the Youth for many years and became close to Luke so my heart is breaking for him in the loss of his brother. I am so sorry for the grief you are facing over the loss of your Father/Opa and the loss of your son/brother. I will continue to keep your family in my prayers and pray that you will feel comfort in the embrace of our Lord and that he will pick you up and carry you during this time.

The Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will (Romans 8:26-27)."

Cover and saturate this family in Your Unfailing love. Cover this family in Your healing blood and in a peace that passes all understanding. Guilt, shame or blame, I bind you now in the Mighty Name of Jesus and I loose the power of continual love in and through their hearts. Protect their mind and heart, let them not faint or grow weary. As they remember and reflect on the journey of their son, I pray they remember the impact he had on his generation. Just as King David served his own generation as unto the will of God, he then fell on sleep. Acts 13:36. So did Caleb. Caleb knew God and he walked with God. He was saved. I pray strength for your family in the name of Jesus.

I too lost my son Matthew. It was 11 months ago today he meant with an accident. He was on life support for 7 days before we felt we could removed him to go be with the Lord.

Matthew had just graduated from Moody Bible institute in Chicago. he was going to be a missionary. He was blessed with the gift of learning language. He spoke, read and wrote 6 language fluently. We do not understand why he was allowed to be taken from us. We never will on this side of glory. My heart grieves for your pain. A few days after losing Matthew I wrote a poem. I am sending it to you. may our Father God comfort you and your family as only he can do...

Fractured Heart....

My heart is as fractured glass, I am fearful it will shatter, yet fearful it won't. Oh precious Jesus hear my cry... Only my God holds the pieces together. I wait upon Him to create something beautiful form the shards that would litter my path with destruction! I am entangled in the broken threads of my life, chocking, unable to breath. My Beloved Savior, weave a tapestry of beauty from the strands that now try to cut off my very existence. Glorify yourself in my pain as I learn what you would have me do to bring Honor and Glory to you, Thou alone art worthy. My Father God, I trust your wisdom only. Mend me, then mold me as you would see fit. I wait for your healing hand to release me from this pain, this loss, this lack of hope. Protect me from the enemy as he seeks to destroy me. Oh my God, teach me that my pain is not greater than your grace. I stand in awe of you Heavenly Father... Your humble servant I remain til you take me home.

He Giveth More Grace (by Annie J. Flint)

He giveth more grace as our burdens grow greater,
He sendeth more strength as our labors increase;
To added afflictions He addeth His mercy,
To multiplied trials He multiplies peace.

When we have exhausted our store of endurance,
When our strength has failed ere the day is half done,
When we reach the end of our hoarded resources
Our Father’s full giving is only begun.

Fear not that thy need shall exceed His provision,
Our God ever yearns His resources to share;
Lean hard on the arm everlasting, availing;
The Father both thee and thy load will upbear.

His love has no limits, His grace has no measure,
His power no boundary known unto men;
For out of His infinite riches in Jesus
He giveth, and giveth, and giveth again.

May He pour out his mercy,grace, and comfort at this time.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

There is a time for sorrow,grief and emotions that only a mother, father, brother, and sister can know when someone they love deeply passes from this temporal world to the heavenly place to be with Jesus, and God the Father for all eternity. May the healing of your hearts come in time, and the memory of your beloved always be there until you meet again. My tears go out to each of you in a special way.

I want to tell all of you how sorry I am over your loss. I also want to say to not be afraid to show your human side and mourn the loss of your son. There is nothing to be ashamed of in doing that. But then remember and celebrate the fact that Caleb is in heaven getting that glorious heavenly embassy ready for all of you when God calls you all home to be with your loving son in heaven. May God send his legions of angels to lift you up when you feel alone and to bless you as you continue your Earthly journey. That is what Caleb would want for you. May God bless you and grant you peace as you work through this difficult time.

I know that You are in complete control and nothing happens that You do not allow. Therefore, we ask that You help Pastor Rob, Laura, Luke and Danielle to accept your decision to allow Caleb to pass away at this time. Lord, thank You for being our stronghold in this day of trouble (Nahum 1:7). Let Your unfailing love comfort the family now just as You promised (Psalm 119:76). Help us as a church family be a source of encouragement and consolation to others who are also grieving this loss. Don't let Satan torment any of us with remorseful thoughts of what we did or did not do for Caleb during his lifetime. We stand in faith that he was in right standing with You and that we will be reunited for all eternity when Jesus returns at His second coming (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18). Now, Lord, teach those of us who remain to consider our own mortality and the brevity of life so we may apply our hearts to wisdom in how we spend our days here on earth (Psalm 90:12). We need You Lord to ease our emotional pain now. We stand on Your promise to turn our mourning into joy, comfort all of us and exchange our sorrow for rejoicing (Jeremiah 31:13). O Lord, you are our strength and our shield; our hearts trusts in You. We can't do Your will with a crushed spirit; so by Your grace we release anger, resentment, and every negative emotion associated with this heartbreak. We thank you in advance for giving all of us beauty for our ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, and the garment of praise for a spirit of heaviness (Isaiah 61:3). With much love to the Koke Family.

I stood there holding my father as he held my brothers hand on his knees sobbing. I watched my father and mother lose a son. I never asked god to give me peace just my parents as I knew they needed it more than me. I'm praying that same peace finds you and your family this evening and the years to come.

overwhelmed by your love for me. I thank you that there is no human experience that I might walk through where your love cannot reach me. If I climb the highest mountain you are there and yet if I find myself in the darkest valley of my life you are there. Teach me today to love you more.

There are many colors in the garden, beautiful in splendor filling the emptiness with hope, peace and comfort. These colors never fade, their kind deeds have not withered on the vine, they are eternal, a gift to the next generation, a gift of their goodness, a foretaste of the hope that is Heaven.

I have attended Shoreline for several years. And the support they gave me during a tragic loss in my family of my step-mom was incredible. And this is my time to return the favor.
Here is a poem that was read by my dad during that time. Which helped me tremendously.

"AND GOD SAID"

I said, "GOD, I hurt."
And GOD said, "I know."
I said, 'GOD. I cry a lot."
And GOD said, "That's why I gave you tears."
I said, "GOD. I'm so depressed."
And GOD said, "That's why I gave you sunshine."
I said. "GOD, Life is so hard."
And GOD said, "That's why I gave you loved ones."
I said, "GOD, my loved one died."
And GOD said, "So did mine."
I said, "GOD, it's such a loss."
And GOD said, "I saw Mine nailed to a cross."
I said, "But, GOD, your loved one lives."
And GOD said, "So does yours."
I said, "GOD, where are they now."
And GOD said, "Mine is on my right, and yours is in the light."
I said, "GOD, I hurt."
And GOD said, "I know."

but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

People he knew were standing there with open arms to greet him. And there was a white, a brilliant white that surrounded everything. He remembers not thinking about this world, being free and unencumbered by any nuisance of the flesh. That's how I picture your son entering heaven.

Listen to God to your heart and know that Caleb is in the best place that he can be. The things that I remember most about Celab is how you Pastor Rob and Pastor Laura talked about him and your children with love and how they came to you about anything. How you had your issues but it was all about love and family and God. Caleb knew that he was love by a God loving family that love him very much and taught him to prepare for the trip to see our Lord and Savoir and his family waiting for him on the other side. God is Great but sometimes life isn't this is one of those times. God picks his precious flowers and he picked a beautiful Rose when he took our precious Caleb.
Celab will be missed greatly, rest assured that he is sitting on the right hand of God and smiling that beautiful smile that is flashing in everyone’s memory. Rest in Peace Celab. Pastor Rob, Pastor Laura and to the rest of your family we love you and I know that God will embrace you in the hard time that you and your family are facing.

It may be six or seven years

but will you, till I call them back,
take care of them for me?
They'll bring there charms to gladden you
and, should there stay be brief....
You'll have there lovely memories
as a solace for your grief.
I cannot promise they will stay,
since all from earth return,
but there are lessons taught below,
I want this child to learn.
I've looked the whole world over
in my search for teachers true,
and from the things that crowd life's lane,
I have chosen you!
Now will you give them all our love?
Nor think the labor vain?
Nor hate me when I come to take
This LENT CHILD back again?
I fancied that I heard them say
Dear Lord, Thy will be done.
For all the joy thy child shall bring
the risk of grief we'll run.
We will shelter them with tenderness,
we'll love them while we may.
And for the happiness we have known
forever grateful stay.
But should thy Angel call for them
much sooner then we've planned,
we'll brave the bitter grief that comes

Before Caleb was born, you chose his name. May you find comfort in Numbers 13:30-Caleb, the only one who believed and would not/did not give up and continued to carry out God's plan(Numbers 14:38). He is with God now and for God's purpose/reason (Deut. 1: 34-36)!

When there is loneliness-I pray you find comfort; sadness-joy; anger-peace; weakness-strength from our Creator; doubt-faith.

Caleb was loved for 17 years and will be missed terribly. Pastor Rob, Laura, Luke, Danielle-you are loved not only because you are an awesome family of God but for your humbleness as well. Take as much time as you need to grieve/heal.....your family within Shoreline loves you and will be waiting with loving, open arms! Our prayers are with you, your family, and Barbara.

With much love, prayers, gratefulness! May we all find strength through this to celebrate Caleb's new life in Christ Jesus!! I want to believe that Caleb is spending his days with his grandpa taking turns sailing and playing basketball where height doesn't matter and he's on the winning team!!!!:-)

You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide, and though we cannot see you, you are always by our side. Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same, but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again."

I lost my 34-year-old sister on 1/1/08 very suddenly. My parents and I know from experience, God is truly close to the broken hearted. God bless you.

Our memories of Caleb are of a servant's heart. He seemed to always be working behind the scenes: pulling weeds in the church landscape, moving tables, carrying items from room to room, setting up/cleaning up events etc. What a great memory of a young man who served God and his church in a selfless way.

We cannot know the extent of your pain, but God does. We pray God's peace will sustain you as only He can.

I am so very sorry for the losses you have had this past week. My heart is aching and I am praying for your family...immediate, extended and church family. I woke up thru the night praying for you.

You don't know me. My Mom, brother & nephew attend your church and LOVE it there. I have visited...it's incredible. Pastor Mark Crow speaks fondly of you from his pulpit.

I live in OKC. I have asked people to pray for you and they are asking people to pray for you...and other people from all over are praying for you and Satan will not benefit from this in anyway. God will.

We don't have to know you to love you and to stay closely with you in prayer. God is good. Your son and Dad are together with Jesus....maybe there is some comfort in that.

I pray for peace and comfort for you....for supernatural, God strength for you. I pray God's love saturates all of you and we will be lifting you up daily in prayer to our Heavenly Father who loves you so.

My deepest sympathy to you and yours. I pray God will love you thru this like never before. Cindy Burns, OKC

But God led me to some comfort in the story of Joshua and Caleb.

How much Caleb of the Bible and Caleb of Shoreline have in common- under 20 years of age, gone to the Promised Land, and wholeheartedly following God - how amazing. Caleb held fast in his trust and belief in God and has received the biggest blessing in life.

As I was typing this message and listening to K-Love a song by Casting Crowns-Praise You In This Storm, spoke to my heart and I would like to share some of the verse and chorus with you and your family:

I was sure by now
God You would have reached down
And wiped our tears away
Stepped in and saved the day
But once again, I say “Amen”, and it’s still raining

As the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
“I’m with you”
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away

Chorus:
I’ll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
Every tear I’ve cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm

I remember when
I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry
You raised me up again
My strength is almost gone
How can I carry on
If I can’t find You

As the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
“I’m with you”
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away

May you and tyour entire family find strength and peace through God our Father.

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free following the path God laid for me, I took his hand when I heard him call, I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day to laugh, to love, to work or play.

Task left undone must stay that way, I found that place at the close of the day. If my parting has left a void, then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh a kiss, Ah yes, these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with these times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.

My life's been full, I've savored much: good friends, good times, a loved one's touch. Perhaps my time seemed all to brief. Don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your hearts and share with me; God wanted me now, He set me free. Author Unknown.

As all have said, my heart aches for you. My Father went to be with Jesus on November 28, 2008 and on January 4, 2009 my Mother took their hand and followed. I said a prayer and asked that they meet Caleb and your Dad and give them a warm welcome to heaven. I found this card and read the saying frequently when I can't stop thinking about my parents. May you find some peace in it. I will continue to pray for all of you and help you thru this time of loss.

A Note From Heaven

If I could write from Heaven,
this is what I'd say,
Please don't miss me too much,
I'm with you throughtout your day.
You may not see or hear me,
but if you're quiet and still,
You may just feel my presence:
because, in Heaven, there is free will.
Don't worry for the day,
it will come and go as planned,
Enjoy each moment you are given,
keep worry from you hand.
Keep sorry to a minimum;
For if Heaven you could see,
You'd know I'm safe and happy,
I did not cease to be.
Moments in time are brief,
until we'll be together again,
as Eternity lasts forever,
our lives, they have no end.

"Peace I leave with you: my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."

The personal experienc my family felt with the death of my sister and brother within two months from eachother was the most heartbreaking and trying times in our lives. A couple of years have passed since our losses & we have not forgotten our loved ones but somehow, with time, we can now remember and cherish their memory without the pain we felt right after it happened. It was natural for us to question and not accept our losses. We felt the pain we were experiencing was too much to bare and questioned how are we, as humans, suppose to understand that we will not be faced with more than one can handle.

You and your family are a loving family of God and suspect you too will go through the natural stages of loss - but know you are loved by many and you are blessed first hand with faith...the faith you shared with us through your sermons - God's Love you teach us to know & trust...to learn how to surpass sorrow and difficult times in our lives.

I am so blessed to be a first time Mommy and feel fortunate that you and Laura christened our baby girl 2 years ago. I now know the love a parent feels for their own child and understand how great your Love for Caleb is and understand how your agony may pass with time but your Love will not.

I thank you greatly for all your help, prayers and direction during all the difficult times in my life. Please know your congregation cares deeply for you and your family and you can certainly lean back on us.

With deepest condolences.

Thank you Laura and Rob.
You may not remember me but God revealed himself strong on my behalf at a time when you both prayed for my daughter and her husband as they prepared to travel to Minnesota.

God gave me a vision while you both prayed that came to pass and he answered your heart felt prayers for employment for them both in Minnesota...my dauther worked for 4 different churches in Minnesota as a Teen minister before she passed away on October 29, 2004.
I was approached by a woman in my daughter's home church after service the Sunday following her memorial.

She told me the Lord wanted me to know that my daughter was like the seed that had to die and be planted to bring forth the harvest.

I left for Texas by car with this thought but lapsed momentarily into sorrow...repeating over and over in my mind "I did not want to lose her" when God abruptly interupted me to say.
"I had it planned this way from the beginning"

I submitted my Spirit to God and have been fine with her passing ever since. May God richly bless you and comfort and strengthen all of you and your families in the knowledge that this is not our home and we are not our own but His.
I miss my dauther but every glorious sunrise and sunset I reflect on the glory she must be seeing since "eye has not seen nor ear heard" the awesome things He prepares for us at our homecoming.
I Speak to you all the Love of Christ
Sincerely,

You will certainly need your faith, but I also recommend that with time, you follow the path of light given from other's who have also gone through this (at times) unbearable pain. The grief you experience after the loss of a child is like none other. Although each person’s pain and grief is unique, no one else can truly understand what you are going through unless they have gone through it too. The light of others will help lead you during the dark days ahead. There are so may blessed angels out there who will help you. Your son Caleb will lead them to you and his siblings as well.

If this can happen to you, a strong man of God one can only imagine what could happen to others. Although I didn't know Caleb and the rest of the family, I am deeply saddened and the only brightside to this, would be the fact that your son and your father are safely in heaven looking over you and praying for you.

"Remember your word to your servant, for you have given me hope. My comfort in my suffering is this: Your promise preserves my life." Psalm 119:49-50

"May your unfailing love be my comfort, according to your promise to your servant. Let your compassion come to me that I may live, for your law is my delight." Psalm 119:76-77

"Shout for joy, O heavens: burst into song, O mountains! For the Lord comforts his people and will have compassion on his afflicted ones." Isaiah 49:13

"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those, in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows." 2Cor. 1:3-5

As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you; and you will be comforted..." Isaiah 66:13

"...I will turn their mourning into gladness; I will give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow." Jeremiah 31:13

I choose to look at the brighter side of this. Caleb is in a happier place now, dancing with the angels. He is with God and his grandpa.

We are praying for you, and your family.

I experienced something very similar many years ago when my mother was taken in a violent death and my only son was almost taken as well in the same act of violence.

We are so saddened by your sudden loss. Aimee was crying last night as she prayed for Laura. Know that we have been praying for your hearts and souls. I remember being at the park on El Salido Parkway watching Caleb, Luke and Danielle playing with my two boys. It all feels so close to home even though it's been so long ago that our kids played together. Caleb will certainly be missed. We will continue pray for you guys...

I didn’t know Caleb personally but I know of him and I know that God now has a very special young man sitting with him now. I also believe that Caleb and his Grandpa are sailing together and looking down on us and watching to make sure their lives are not mourned but celebrated because while they were both on this earth they both did extraordinary things.

I love music and it has gotten me through a lot of really tough times. There is one very speacial song “The Dance” by Garth Brooks. In the song he says “Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain But I'd of had to miss the dance.”

May God bless you and help you through the road that lay ahead. You are in our hearts, thoughts and prayers.

Words can not express how my heart hurts for you. Your church and church family has guided me through some very dark and difficult times in my life when I had no hope left. You led me in the direction to see that I am blessed to be here because it is He who walks with us. When I lost my mother unexpectedly, I felt as if a piece of me went with her and didn't know what direction to turn.
I'd like to share a daily devotional that I read by Billy Graham. Today's reading is appropriate. (today would have been my mother's birthday)
July 15, 2009
"They shall see his face..." -Revelation 22:4 (TLB)
One of the great bonuses of being a Christian is the great hope that extends beyond the grave into the glory of God's tomorrow. A little girl was running toward a cemetary as the darness of evening began to fall. She passed a friend who asked her if she was not afraid to go through the graveyard at night. "Oh no," she said, "I'm not afraid. My home is just on the other side." The resurrection of Christ changed the midnight of bereavement into a sunrise of reunion; it changed the midnight of disappointment into a sunrise of joy; it changed the midnight of fear to a sunrise of peace. Today faith and confidence in the resurrected Christ can change your fear to hope and your disappointment to joy.
Prayer for the day:
Whatever I fear the most, Lord Jesus, I put into Your loving hands, knowing You will give me peace and courage.

May God's grace and mercy be with you during this extremely difficult time. I know that you will find comfort knowing that Caleb is at home on the other side, and that one day, you will join him in glory.

1627. Ruth Mora wrote:: This was just sent to be today by Pastor Allen today. I thought to share. YOu are in our prayers.

Blessed are those who mourn, for
they will be comforted.
( Matthew 5:4 *NIV )

Dear Ruth A.,
When you lose someone that you love, take comfort in
knowing that those who were saved are now with God. For
it is written that when we die; The dust returns to the
ground it came from, and the spirit returns to
God who gave it. ( Ecclesiastes 12:7 )

Therefore; Brothers, we do not want you
to be ignorant about those who fall asleep, or
to grieve like the rest of men, who have no
hope. We believe that Jesus died and rose again
and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus
those who have fallen asleep in him, at the end time.
( 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14 )

So Ruth A., take comfort in knowing you will see them
again, for it isn't the end of them but only the beginning! The
beginning of a much better life where; He will wipe
every tear from their eyes. There will be no
more death or mourning or crying or pain,
for the old order of things has passed away."
( Revelation 21:4 )

Now I would like to share something with you that has
helped many who have lost someone. It is called "Safely
Home." I pray that it will minister to those of you who
have lost a dear one.

SAFELY HOME

I am home in Heaven, dear ones;
Oh, so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.

All the pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed;
I an now at peace forever,
Safely home in Heaven at last.

Did you wonder I so calmly
Trod the valley of the shade?
Oh! But Jesus' love illumined
Every dark and fearful glade.

And He came Himself to meet me
In that way so hard to tread;
And with Jesus' arm to lean on,
Could I have one doubt or dread?

Then you must not grieve so sorely,
For I love you dearly still:
Try to look beyond earth's shadows,
Pray to trust our Father's Will.

There is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand;
Do it now, while life remaineth--
You shall rest in Jesus' land.

When that work is all completed,
He will gently call you Home;
Oh, the pleasure of that meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you come!

Your family has touched the hearts and lives of so many people. We know this tragedy has broken your hearts and the pain and grief is unbearable. We are grieveing with you. Rob, your father was there to take Caleb's hand and walk with him to Jesus. I remember you telling us about your sailing experience with your father when all your other family had gone ashore and how you were able to share Jesus with him. I read another email from a family member grieving the loss of your beloved Father. Caleb ministered compassion to her. Caleb will always be so loved and missed by all of you. A big hole will be there that only loving each other and letting God love you, will soothe. We will be lifting you up in prayer.

"The Plan of the Master Weaver"

My life is but a weaving between the Lord and me,
I may not choose the colors,
He knows what they should be,
For He can view the pattern upon the upper side,
While I can see it only on this, the underside…

Sometimes He weaveth sorrow, which seemeth strange to me,
But I will trust His judgment, and work on faithfully,
‘Tis He who fills the shuttle, and He knows what is best,
So I shall weave in earnest, leaving to Him the rest…

Not till the loom is silent and the shuttles cease to fly
Shall God unroll the canvas and explain the reason why -
The dark threads are as needed in the Weaver’s skillful hand
As the threads of gold and silver in the pattern He has planned.

We send our love, prayers, and intercessions on your behalf. You all will make it THROUGH this trying season. God will strengthen your hearts and minds and spirits in the secret place of the Most High God -- in the palm of His Hands, the shelter of His Love, and the Shadow of His Wings.

We love you and our hearts and spirits are with you -- both tonight (Wed)at he Memorial service and Friday at the funeral service/celebration of Caleb's homecoming.

Lovingly, Dianne for all

Rob and Laura, you have beautiful and amazing kids! A extremely large percentage of the youth was touched by Caleb at some point, whether it was through school, summer camps, or just a smile when passing him by. Ya'll are in my prayers, forever and always. I proudly say that Shoreline was my first church, and it made me who I am today...all five of you have helped me through my walk and impacted my faith.

I didn't know what to say at first, but I read a message that Caleb was probably playing hoops with Jesus right now, and I smiled through the tears. I imagined that God was very happy to be with Caleb, even while He holds your tears.

You guys showed me the type of believer I want to be, the type of mother I want to be, how to lean on Jesus in bad times, and rejoyce with Him in good times. Prayed for a better work environment for me and a safe birth of my grandson. God answered those and I give thanks and honor to Him. You shared so much of your family life with us, and I keep remembering all the stories about Caleb, like the snake getting loose in the house!

I just want you to know how much we all love you and want to help you. If there is anything we can do, please ask, it will be our honor and blessing.

I also know you are grieving so deeply and yet looking to our Lord to hold you in his arms while He is holding your son at the same time. Our chancel choir is a group of devoted prayer warriors and we will be lifting you up today and in the future. I am available as an ear, a heart, a mother, a Christian who knows if you ever need me.

He Knows Your Name
By Edwin B. Staples

He created the universe – formed the stars from a celestial storm
He spoke the words and the earth was formed
He is the creator of all things
And He knows your name

He created light from the darkness of endless time
His kingdom is a treasure for all to find
He can deliver from all suffering and pain
And He knows your name

He formed Adam from the dust of the land
He gave the breathe of life to man
He created all life sustaining rain
And He knows your name

He created the oceans and all things in the sea
He is the Lord and Master of all humanity
His righteous judgment is as brimstone and flame
And He knows your name

His love is greater than death and the grave
He has all power to deliver and save
He is the source of all hope – the redeemer of shame
He is the creator of the universe and He knows your name

"Verse 1
This is not at all how
We thought it was supposed to be
We had so many plans for you
We had so many dreams
And now you've gone away
And left us with
The memories of your smile
And nothing we can say
And nothing we can do
Can take away the pain
The pain of losing you but...

We can cry with hope
We can say goodbye with hope
'Cause we know our goodbye
Is not the end oh no
And we can grieve with hope
'Cause we believe with hope
(There a place by God's grace)
There's a place where
We'll see your face again

Verse 2
And never have I known
Anything so hard to understand
And never have I questioned more
The wisdom of God's plan
But through the cloud of tears
I see the Father's smile
And say well done
And I imagine you
Where you wanted most to be
Seeing all your dreams come true
'Cause now you're home
And now you're free and

We have this hope as an anchor
'Cause we believe that everything
God promised us is true so

We wait with hope
And we ache with hope
We hold on with hope
We let go with hope"

With Hope,

I have always thought oh! they have so much to take care of and people to meet with etc. But, I have always had a tie to your church. My husband is a very hard man to get to actually be taken in by a pastor and his preachings. No matter what church we may slip away to try, we always make our way back to Shoreline. I have helped in Sunday school over the years, my son has attended basketball camps, my daughter has been a snow flurry, at Christmas, we know so many people that go there. My husband and I have always loved listening to the stories of your children. We just laugh, because of course we can relate. You and your family are so awesome to all of ours. So, my heart has been breaking since I received the news of your precious Caleb. Oh! how tonight at service I wanted to come to you face to face with all of my hugs, and tears, and to let you know just how sorry we all are for your loss. Though, I have only seen your kids in church,just being a parent ourselves, our hearts break. My husband is working in Iraq, and I cried again to tell him this news. He could not beleive it himself. Just know from Iraq prayers have gone out to you and your family, as well as here at home. I just wanted you to know how terribly sorry we all are and thank you for all you and your family have brought to our family over the years. May God comfort and keep you all.

He was agreeing and smiling at you...the biggest, most beautiful smile I have ever seen. That's how I remember Caleb.

Pastor Rob - You will never know what your sermons have meant in our lives. Your love for the Word has turned into many lives who now will spend eternity with the Lord. Just as you have lifted up your congregation many times in prayer, your congregation now lifts you and your family up in prayer. Rest for now in His arms.

I am reminded of CS Lewis' comments regarding the Shadowlands. Also in Elisabeth Prentis' book Stepping Heavenward. Our heaven is not here. The Lord made our earth full of beautiful gifts, like our children, but we can never be satisfied here on earth. We are only truly content when we are with our Lord. (Caleb is there tonight) Each of these trials we go through, conforms us a little more to the likeness of Christ. We will never reach it on this side of Heaven. He did not intend for us to.

I was imagining the reunion in heaven welcoming Caleb to his new home. I could see my Jalon, who would be 19 years old now, hanging out and showing Caleb around, that is, of course, after he sees his Grandpa Koke and Jesus and the Apostle Paul and probably a few other great names Caleb would want to visit with. Know that Caleb is alive and well with his own mansion, and he won't even have to bother cleaning it all by himself. (Note: I treasure the thought of absolutely no housecleaning necessary in heaven. Why? No dust! HEHEHEHEHEHE) I recommend the book "Heaven" by Randy Alcorn. Tonight I started the small group on this book. Know in the deepest parts of my being, my heart is with you right now. I understand the pain; but remember, pain is but a thermometer gauge that reminds us once more to run to His Presence and rest in His Peace, Love and ultimate Joy. We, like no other, can survive such tragedies because of all Jesus accomplished in our behalf on the Cross. Jesus' death makes Caleb's life eternal. Caleb will always be with you everywhere you go in your heart just as Jesus is in your heart. Heaven comes to earth in a reality greater than ever before. Caleb is one of your biggest cheerleaders now understanding and interceding in ways that will help you and your job here. I am here availability to you at any time. Email me! God is so faithful. I'm believing even in this hour His Peace is enveloping you both to rest with perfect restorative sleep to awaken to an ever growing awareness of God's love and Presence every step of the way. I love you both dearly. My son, David Lawrence, so enjoyed being with Luke and Caleb during his visit to Austin/San Antonio a couples of weeks ago. Thank you for your kind hospitality.

The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. (Psalm 34:18)
The Sovereign LORD will wipe away the tears from all faces. (Isaiah 25:8)

He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. (Psalm 147:3)

Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows. (Isaiah 53:4)

My soul is weary with sorrow; strengthen me according to your word. (Psalm 119:28)

Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men, who have no hope. (I Thessalonians 4:13)

We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. (1 Thessalonians 4:14)

For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living. (Romans 14:9)

V\Then the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: "Death has been swallowed up in victory." (1 Corinthians 15:54)

Why are you downcast, 0 my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God. (Psalm 43:5)

He will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD. (Psalm 112:7)

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: a time to be born and a time to die ... a time to weep and a time to laugh ... a time to mourn and a time to dance... (Ecclesiastes 3:1-4)

Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. (Romans 12:15)

Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh. (Luke 6:21)

You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, that my heart may sing to you and not be silent. (Psalm 30:11-12)

A Child Loaned

"I’ll lend you for a little time
A child of Mine," He said.
"For you to love the while she lives,
And mourn for when she’s dead.
It may be six or seven years
Or twenty-two or three,
But will you, till I call her back
Take care of her for Me?
She’ll bring her charms to gladden you,
And should her stay be brief,
You’ll have her lovely memories
As solace for your grief.
I cannot promise she will stay,
Since all from Earth return,
But there are lessons taught down there
I want this child to learn.
I’ve looked this wide world over
In My search for teachers true,
And from the throngs that crowd life’s lanes,
I have selected you;
Now will you give her all your love,
Nor think the labour vain,
Nor hate Me when I come to call
And take her back again ?
I fancied that I heard them say,
"Dear Lord, Thy will be done,
For all the joy Thy child shall bring,
For the risk of grief we’ll run.
We’ll shelter her with tenderness,
We’ll love her while we may,
And for the happiness we’ve known,
Forever grateful stay.
But should the angels call for her
Much sooner then we planned,
We’ll brave the bitter grief that comes
And try to understand.

I am so saddened by Caleb's passing. I remember when he was a small boy, unfortunatly I didn't get to know him as a young man. Although we are not involved at Shoreline anymore, you are always in our thoughts and prayers.
This was not God's will, faith has taught us that it is his outstretched hand that was there for Caleb to take, to go home to the our savior forevermore. A priest stated this at my 15 year old step sons funeral when he was killed in an accident 20 years ago. It was probably the most comforting thing anyone could have said to me at the time.

It also speaks about how great and beautiful the Lord's thoughts are towards us, they are more than we can count and are more numerous than the sand. In the close of the 18th verse the author writes, "I come to the end--I am still with you. We mourn with you and yet rejoice in knowing his end is with the Lord.

I lost my brother Joe when he was 24 years old to an auto accident. I kept expecting him to drive up, and I kept thinking that it was just a dream. Then one day while I was sitting on the back porch asking, "God where is Joe?", because I was unsure of his salvation, the Lord spoke to me and reminded me that He is a Just, a righteous and merciful God. After hearing that an enveloping sense of peace came over me. I pray you find the same in this time of hurt and loss. He is our comforter and his peace passes all understanding.

Perhaps we could honor Caleb by raising up an army of Youth, "Caleb's Army", to plunder the enemy by becoming committed soul winners. I believe the Lord would challenge our Youth to "Be strong and courageous... do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."

My prayers are with you all in this time. May the Holy Spirit comfort and sustain you with His strength daily!

It may be six or seven years or forty two or three, but will you, till I call them back, take care of them for me? They'll bring there charms to gladden you and, should there stay be brief....You'll have there lovely memories as a solace for your grief. I cannot promise they will stay, since all from earth return, but there are lessons taught below, I want this child to learn. I've looked the whole world over in my search for teachers true, and from the things that crowd life's lane, I chose you! Now will you give them all our love? Nor think the labor vain? Nor hate me when I come to take This LENT CHILD back again? I fancied that I heard them say Dear Lord, Thy will be done. For all the joy thy child shall bring the risk of grief we'll run. We will shelter them with tenderness, we'll love them while we may. And for the happiness we have known forever grateful stay.

The lives that you and your children have touched through your faithfulness to Gods calling on your lives, and through the example you have lived before many, are countless, and will one day be revealed to you.

You were the ones that prayed for our son as we dedicated him to our Heavenly Father when he was just three days old. Today he is at the verge of becoming a teenager. You are someone he looks up to and he is praying that God will bring you through this with flying colors. In his innocence its his way of saying that God is faithful and He will bring you through this devastating time of your life.

Children are a gift and blessing from God, and it is so evident that your son Caleb was, and continues to be a blessing to so many. His life continues on, and we will see a harvest of the seeds that your son planted in the lives of others. We rest in the assurance of God's promises, that as believers and followers of Christ, we will one day be with our Lord and Savior in heaven, and death has lost its sting. That we will rest and rejoice in the presence of our Father for all eternity. Where there are no tears, or pain, and all are made whole.

May God's presence surround you, your family, and friends. May He give you the comfort, strength, peace, and healing that only He can give. For we know that He heals the broken hearted. We as a community, as a church family, and as believers of Christ are lifting you up in prayer before the throne of Almighty God.

With much love and respect...

Thank you pastor Rob for being the man of God you are. You are truly a blessing to the world.... we need more men like yourself. Shoreline has opened me up to become closer to God and to work harder at getting my relationship back close with him. So thank you Shorline and God bless Pastor Rob and the family. My prayers are with you all.

Much love and respect

Fr. Joe said to God "I wanted to give him a college education and marriage and children....God answered " He has all these things with me".....One late afternoon alone in their home sitting in a room....silently Joe....said "show me" show me that you exist or I can not believe any more....." It was twilight and the chandelier came on in the room as if a hand turned the light on. There was no one in the house to do this....with the light came grace....a peace that passes understanding....he and his wife felt it....

Pastor Kobe, as a grieving parent, call out to God and God will answer...He did when my 8 year old brother died after getting hit by a car my parents said...show me or I can not believe....and God gave them a vision of my brother Jon walking the beach with Jesus....

The first thing I have to say is I don’t know what to say. What can you say? I am sad, numb, stunned, by the loss of Caleb. I can imagine that Rob’s father saw him in heaven and asked, “What are you doing here so soon?”

The saying, “He has gone to a better place,” seems so cliché when your heart is breaking. We all have dreams for our kids and we enjoy watching them grow and develop. We hope to be friends with their spouses, enjoy their children and watch them take on the world. Now the person you love and those hopes and aspirations are suddenly whisked away and our hearts cry out, “Why!?”

The only thing that comforts me is realizing heaven is a real place, more real than this one. And Caleb’s sudden departure is akin to when the Koke family left Holland to come to the US. Except in this case there is no way to communicate with your loved ones once they arrive. But they are in the country we yearn for but sometimes forget about because we get so comfortable in the country we are sojourning through. He is gone onto a country where he will still achieve his full potential in ways we cannot fathom. He will still be playing basketball. He will still learn and grow and develop into the man God created him to be.

I am so sorry for you loss. Nora and I love you with all our hearts and our prayers are constantly with you and your family.

From what I've heard about him, he loved his family and friends and most of all God and lived his life for Him...some people spend a lifetime not knowing.

God’s love and grace will take care of all your hearts and souls, we pray with deepest intent for you and your families loss. We also pray for the strengh and support for you from the body of the church for healing and understanding.

This may help… It is my summary of an article I read and sent to a lifelong friend back in 2007, who also lost her 18 year old son unexpectedly in a boating accident…

In death I think there is never fully closure due to death may end a life, but it doesn’t end the relationship we had with that person… To me they live on in memories we keep in our hearts and souls, which we can recall and discuss, therefore continuing the relationship, by sharing stories about a loved one, we can enjoy them again and may even find ourselves smiling and laughing… We can also keep them alive in our own lives by thinking of what they gave us and what we received from them. Think of the many pleasant and even joyful memories of the person, even writing them down can give us comfort in knowing we will always have them in our hearts and souls, then recall them when you have a heartfelt moment of grief, or need… We need to also continue to live our lives fully and in doing so we honor their memory, rather than letting ourselves be consumed by grief…

I still have the full article at work in a file folder, so if any of you would like a copy of the article I can make copies… This article has helped me and my friends more than once, along with I am sure will help me and others again and again… I believe it is a very positive and healthy way to deal with the loss of a loved one, the gain in continuing the relationship by the memories of them we keep in our hearts and souls, share with others, along with how to again find love, joy and peace of mind after a devastating loss…

PS… I just wanted to make sure and take the time to say and express my soul felt love and concern for all of you today. Please know that I pray for you all… Remember each moment is precious and living in the present is very important due to it being truly a present from our Lord Jesus Christ.

The feet upon which the woman wept were calloused and dusty. And those tears.....oh don't miss those tears.....they came from a heart as broken as yours or mine ever has been."

Secondly I want to offer my sincere condolescences on your son Kaleb who was just a preschooler when I became a member of shoreline back in 1997. I cant imagine the loss of child especially to a family that was as close as yours. I used to imagine what it would be like to be in your family even as just the nanny, Kaleb is in heaven with his grandfather, wings upon wings. I think it was wonderful that GOD allowed you to borrow Kaleb for the brief time you did. He allowed you to borrow such a wonderful young angel to bring joy in your life but he needed him back. Many of us live on borrowed time but Kaleb lived on Shared Time. Kaleb brought you joy just as your other children do and will continue to do.

Title: I Will Meet You There

I will meet you there
In the great by and by
I will meet you there
After the twinkle of an eye
When God has called you home
That's where I will be
I will meet you there
There's so much to see

As I entered through the gate
It was like floating on the ground
I saw those who went before me
Wearing glissening white gowns

There was no sadness or fear
No sickness in this place
Only love,joy,and peace
Were beaming from each face

I heard the sound of singing
It was likd thunder in my ears
Then an aray of angels
Just suddenly appeared

They sang glory to our God
And to the lamb on the throne
His Kingdom reigns forever
All creation He owns

Then I saw Lord Jesus
The one who died for me
I couldn't stand in his presense
I fell down on my knees

I said glory to God
And to Jesus his son
He will live forever
My Salvation He won

And I will meet you there
In the great by and by
I will meet you there
After the twinkle of an eye
When God has called you home
That's where I will be
I will meet you there
There's so much to see
There's so much to see

Even though it is hard for us to comprehend with our human minds, we must never forget that God sees the bigger picture and will continue to spin and hold every planet into place. My hopes are that Caleb’s adoration for our Heavenly Father and HIS creation is a lesson to us all. A lesson that teaches us to pursue an appreciate for all life that surrounds us. (Even if it is a slimy reptile.) We cry and weep today, because we miss Caleb’s physical presence, but we must always, keep in mind and heart, the impact Caleb’s life has made.

I knew something was extraordinary about Caleb, even from the time I first I met him. He was only in the 4th grade at Shoreline Christian School. Every day he would arrive full of life and so eager to dissect everything that was placed in front of him. So passionate about his love for basketball, science, recess and even snack time. One of my best memories of Caleb is, one day he (and his siblings) came to afterschool care, while they waited for Pastor Rob to wrap up a meeting. I remember he came inside from playing so hard outside in the heat. I remember his eagerness for snack time and wanting nothing more than to be my little “helper”. (Little did I know that he was helping himself to some extra snacks and keeping a stash for his friends.) I remember finding his stash, and addressing him of it. As I disposed of his “cookie stash”, I remember him, without a pause, diving into the trash can barrel head first. I was in dismay and could hardly believe my eyes. It was very difficult to keep a straight face as I asked him to please get out of the trash can. His excitement and hunger had gotten the best of him and he did not even realize that he was trash diving for some non-organic, processed, sugar cookies we call ”vanilla wafers”. It was hilarious to see him snap back into reality, quickly dust himself off, and walk away as though nothing ever happened.

Caleb, Our memories of you will never be forgotten and the story you told about CHRIST will continue to ring throughout the halls of the Shoreline Christian Schools. Not only did you tell HIS story, but you also lived it. Thank you for giving us such precious memories. You have always been such a brave young man, and I know that your life and testimony has impacted so many young people. More than you, your friends, or even you family could ever imagine. We always knew that you were going to be a world changer, but it has become much more apparent as I look around and observe how many people are congregating together in memory of YOU. Caleb, your dreams finally came true! This is exactly what your prayed for. God’s people are truly being touched and healed and even SAVED! By the grace of God, ALL these miracles because of Caleb’s witness. The life he lived for less than 6,500 days is reaching, at least, 10 TIMES that amount. I admire your strength and your courage. Thank you for the sacrifice you have made, and for always continuing to be steadfast while never being a crowd follower. You were, you are, and always will be a WORLD CHANGER for the KINGDOM of God. Caleb may have not been the loudest one in the crowd, but his presence speaks volumes!! A stronger message than words can never describe.

Again, We gather together today NOT to recognize Caleb’s death, but to CELEBRATE that he has been made whole. I can’t help but think that his “Opa” was the first one at the pearly gates welcoming him home with open arms and, not to mention, with a basketball at his side eager to start the best 1x1 game of all existence.

And I say to all Caleb’s loved ones still here on earth….when you think of Caleb, try to remember this correlation: Caleb was like a fallen star. Though this star was dazzling and brilliant, it was only on loan to us for but a short time. Our heavenly father had bigger plans for him and GOD was ready to put him back in place to fulfill his destiny. At this point, he has reunited with our Heavenly Father and he watches over us to cheer us on as we continue our journey we call life. Caleb, we all look forward to the day that we join you again, in the heavens, for an eternal celebration.

We love you,

Miss Chavez and Miss Tina

It's hard to stand on shifting sand
It's hard to shine in the shadows of the night
You can't be free if you don't reach for help
You cant love if you dont love yourself

There is hope when my faith runs out
Cause I'm in better hands now

It's like the sun is shining when the rain is pouring down
It's like my soul is flying though my feet are on the ground
So take this heart of mine there's no doubt
I'm in better hands now

I am strong all because of you
I stand in awe of every mountain that you move
Oh I am changed, yesterday is gone
I am safe from this moment on

There's no fear when the night comes 'round
I'm in better hands now

It's like the sun is shining when the rain is pouring down
It's like my soul is flying though my feet are on the ground
So take this heart of mine there's no doubt
I'm in better hands now

It's like the sun is shining when the rain is pouring down
It's like my soul is flying though my feet are on the ground
Its like the world is silent though I know it isnt true
Its like the breath of Jesus is right here in this room

So take this heart of mine there's no doubt
I'm in better hands now
I'm in better hands now

I know first hand the pain the comes with this kind of loss. My only sister was also taken in a car crash on Thanksgiving Day. She was 24yrs. old and the oldest child of four. Our family has grieved this loss for a long time. My mother and father the most. As time goes by the Lord will bring peace and healing. The following poem brought such peace to my mother. I thought I would share it with you.

May God grant you peace and strength. We all grieve with you.

God's Loan

"I'll loan you for a little time
a child of mine," He said,
"For you to love the while he lives,
and mourn for when he's dead,

It may be six or seven years,
or twenty-six or seven,
But you will, till I call him back,
take care of him for Me?

He'll bring his charms to gladden you,
and should his stay be brief,
You'll have his lovely memories
as solace for your grief.

I cannot promise he will stay,
since all from earth return,
But there are lessons taught down there
I'll want this child to learn.

I've looked this wide world over
in my search for teachers true,
And from the throng that crowd life's lanes,
I have selected you.

Now, will you give him all your love,
nor think the labor vain,
Nor hate Me when I come to call
to take him back again?

I fancied that I heard you say,"
Dear Lord, Thy will be done,
For all the joy Thy child shall bring,
the risk of grief we'll run.

We'll shelter him with tenderness,
we'll love him while we may,
And for the happiness we've known,
forever grateful stay.

But should the angels call for him
much sooner than we planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes
and try to understand.

"Let the little children come to me and do not forbid them;
for such is the Kingdom of God." Mark 10:14

I had the pleasure of going to school with Caleb for two years at Shoreline when y'all had school there. I just wanted to tell you that those years were and still are the most memorable of my life. When I heard the news I was devastated. Caleb and I shared many good times and inside jokes that I will remember for the rest of my life. Even though I hadn't seen Caleb in the last few years I will always count him as one of my best and closest friends. He was a complete joy to be around and I wish like hell this didn't happen to your family. I don't know why God did this but He has His reasons and they are for the best. Words cannot express my sorrow for y'all and you never think something like this would hit so close to home, you always hear about it on the news and say that must be terrible for the family and friends, it really really sucks to be in that position now knowing that he is gone forever. But take comfort in your memories and know that there are so many people out there that are loving y'all and praying for y'all and will continue to do so for many years to come.

I am very sorry to hear about the loss of your son Caleb. These past two days have been restless nights for me waking up during the night with Pastor Laura on my mind. I’m a mother of two (which you dedicated both of them) so I can’t imagine what she as a mother is going through. We’ve attended Shoreline for the past 16 years (since CFC) so we call Shoreline our home. Your son Caleb often comes to my mind whenever my daughter thanks me for taking her somewhere fun. Years ago you shared a story during one of your sermons about the time when you spent an entire HOT and very busy day at a Waterpark outside of Austin. While all the other grown-ups had fun on the “big” water rides, you got stuck with your little ones in the Toddler section underneath the Mushroom waterfalls. After leaving the park and settling the kids in the car for the ride back home, your Son Caleb told you ”Dad, thanks for taking us to the waterpark, we had fun! Thanks Dad”. After hearing your son nothing else mattered anymore. You rode home with a small on your face and that hot and busy day underneath the Mushroom waterfalls was well worth it.

We love you Pastor Koke, Pastor Laura, Luke and Danielle.

Last night Pastor Earl shared with us your hope of some redemption from your loss. This is a little story, but still wanted to share it with you for that reason. Today I was talking to my hair stylist about the last few days events with Caleb and how amazingly our church family has bonded together and have been supporting each other in such a loving way. She is not a regular church attender and said she did not know much about the Bible because her parents never took her to church. She also shared that she was going through a divorce, job change, move and was also the mother of a young boy. She continued to share about how she was in need of support during this time. She asked the name of our church and then said to me, "I need to go to church!" She repeated that several times throughout our conversation in such a resolute and convicted way. I will be in correspondence with her and do believe she will be coming to church (and, ultimately, a true relationship with Jesus) as a result of our conversation regarding what has taken place in our church family. A seed definitely has been sown.

I love you all very much and sincerely thank you for all you have poured into our lives and for your amazing leadership. You have truly made the church a home and family for all of us.

Praying For You,

Although I only know you from photographs and Christmas letters Tante Kitty would send annually and updates from my parents (Bob and Rose van Waardenberg) we were deeply saddened to read about your son Caleb's passing. When someone as young as Caleb passes it's very hard to understand and I'm sure your grief is immense. We are praying for you and we hope your strong faith will help your family through this very sad time. Just the sheer number of messages left by caring folks is testament that Caleb left a lasting impression on many. It is surely something to be very proud of.

Words seem totally inadequate, we pray that God will give you the strength to get through each day.
With our most sincere condolences,

The four year old's ball rolled out into the street and before the father could stop him, the young boy ran to retrieve his ball and was hit by a car and was killed. The father picked up his son's crumpled body and lifted him toward the skies of the heaven and said "God, he's yours, he's always been yours and I thank you Lord for the time that you loaned him to us and Lord we will see him again."

We started coming to services at Shoreline a couple of years ago when our family was going through a difficult time. One of the first things that I could see was the humor and love your family felt for each other. As the mother of 2 teenagers I cannot begin to imagine the pain you are all feeling. I went to church with my daughter Wed. night who is a member of the lift group. The outpouring of love for Caleb and your family was overwhelming. I began to think about how heartbroken God as a parent must have felt when his son suffered on the cross and died to save us all. I don't believe God chooses who will live and die. He would not intentionally want any of his children to suffer such heart break. I believe when accidents happen they are just that, accidents, but God welcomes the victims of accidents or illness into heaven with open arms to live with him in paradise. At the same time he is deeply concerned and his heart is broken for the families and friends left behind and his arms are open just as wide for them to give them all the comfort and love they need in their darkest hour. What a mighty and wonderful God he is to be here for those left on earth and those who are newcomers to heaven. When I think of Caleb I think of him in heaven with his grandpa & they are looking down at you and your family and giving one of those big Koke family waves. So in the weeks and months ahead when you are missing them so much, just go outside and look up at the sky and give one of those famous Koke family waves. God bless you all.

I am so sorry for you losses. I understand the pain of losing my dad. My dad passed away a month ago in a horrible car accident. As it was unexpected and sudden it was devastating to myself, brothers and mom. I understand the pain of losing a loved but I can understand losing a child is a much different pain. I myself have three children and don't want to imagine what the pain is as the pain of losing my dad is hard enough. My prayers are with your family at this time in need. There's a verse that has alway given me comfort since my grandma, whom I love dearly and miss; passed away two years ago. Revelation 21:4 (NKJ)"And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” I know this will not be easy to get over nor will it ever stop hurting but in time and with God's mercy & help, you will be able to move forward and know your child is in the presence of the Lord rejoicing.

At his service 5 people were saved Praise & Worship lifted the ceiling and a man was delivered form from his years of sin and picked up the sword of my son and went to the Phlippine Islands, Became an Episcoal Priest the last 15 years of prison ministry. I never thought this man would succeed. I had know way to know the redemption God would bring out of my son's death. I wrote about my son life as a toddler to teenager about funny and interesting things and rebellion and salvation. I cried at the end of each chapter. Try it Rob and you feel your son is living as you right about him. This lasted six months for me. Two years later, 1992, my wife, Sheryl & I found Joshua Generation Ministry 501C3 for J.D.Boys who we brought Shoreline Youth Services. Several boys were saved and 16 went home after 9 months with us and we entered them in Leander Jr/Sr School. Sheryl died of cancer in 1995 and JGM retired. Charlotte and I have been married 13 years. We raised two of her girls who are living for the lord. I thought you might know about my experience with redemption, grieving by writhing, and Gods'higher plans.

We wanted to share a poem with your family that was shared with us when my husband's dad passed away several years ago.

Don't grieve for me, for now I am free
I'm following the path God laid for me,
I took His hand when I heard him call
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way.
I found that peace at the close of the day.
If my parting has left a void
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah yes, these things I too, will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow.
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full, I savored much.
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief,
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me
God wanted me now, he set me free.

Love,

Let me start by saying that I had the extreme pleasure of meeting and getting to know Caleb about 5 years ago at a Summer Camp in Columbus, TX. We immediately hit it off, because we both loved playing basketball. As he got older, we really didn’t get that chance to play again, but I was glad about that. He ended being about 4 inches taller than me, and I’m sure he would have dominated me. I was able to talk and spend some time with him back during the SuperChurch days, but unfortunately as he got older that time was less. We would speak every now and then in the main lobby to catch up on things. I will always remember him as an exuberant, kind and respectful young man. I was able to see him grow from a young boy to a young man. I thank God for that opportunity to get to know him. You raised him right!

Most of us are on that regular road to meet our Lord and Savior. It’s unfortunate for our flesh that Caleb had to take the express route to meet our Father in Heaven. Sometimes it’s hard to understand God’s plan and purpose, but it is always revealed in time. I firmly believe that this church family will be stronger, more united, and more empowered than it ever has been. If Wednesday night is any indication, it has already begun! Because of the events that have occurred, Caleb will be leading many to the truth of the love of our Savior Jesus Christ.

We love and support you in all you do. It’s in those times in the valley that we draw closer to God. Draw near to Him and He will comfort you. He will give you peace beyond all understanding.

There was a song that I heard for the first time during Wednesday night’s service by Hillsong United called “You Hold Me Now.” It struck a chord with me and spoke to me. I hope it speaks to you as well. May the Lord wrap his loving arms around you and comfort you with his warm embrace.

We are praying for you.

I have no idea what to say right now. All I can think of and say is that my family and I love you all so much and are so thankful for you! My family has just experienced two back to back home goings. My father went home to be with the Lord on May 17, 2009 at the young age of 60 from prostate cancer. The next month my father-n-law passed on June 29th 2009. These last two months have been unbelievable for us. We feel like a tree that's still planted; but it's been through a very damaging storm. That means we need a lot of nourishment from the Lord to RE-grow in those extremely damaged areas, but we are still planted (praise God)! Well, your ministry has been absolute healing for me and my family over the years and in these last few weeks. I pray that you all feel that same kind of God given grace, peace, healing, and nourishment that only His presences can give. I write this all choked-up, but we love you all so much and just want to encourage you that God loves you too.

A life is never left unredeemed! I heard this song the other day sung by Saleh and the words were quite fitting and comforting. I pray that these words bring you hope in a time of great sadness and mourning. Know that I love you and praying for you.

UNREDEEMED

The cruelest words
The coldest heart
The deepest wounds
The endless dark
The lonely ache
The burning tears
The bitter night
The wasted years
Life breaks and falls apart
But we know these are…
Places
Where grace is
Soon to be so amazing
They may unfulfilled
They may unrestored
But when anything that’s shattered
Is laid before the Lord
Just watch and see
It will not be
Unredeemed
For every choice
That led to shame
And all the love
That never came
For every vow
That someone broke
And every life
That gave up hope
We live in the shadow of the fall
But the cross says these are all – just
Places
Where grace is
Soon to be so amazing
They may unfulfilled
They may unrestored
But when anything that’s shattered
Is laid before the Lord
Just watch and see
It will not be
Unredeemed
They may unfulfilled
They may unrestored
You never know the miracles
The father has in store
Just watch and see
It will not be
Unredeemed

My love for your family goes deep. Although I haven't been there long 6months or so, I have felt like I'm at home already. If only to have met Caleb much sooner to be able to enjoy so many of the memories that you all have. Pastor Rob does so awesome by letting us into ya'll lives and sharing your children with us. We were lucky to get to know Caleb without knowing him, his love for basketball and his compassion for people. Pastor Laura aka spiritual Mom- "hold fast, help is on the way"......

You have been a pillar to all the church family and all the lives you have touched and now we stand in the gap for your family and stand strong in Christ Jesus.

My husband Angel has shared and again I reiterate: All things pass through our Heavenly Father. If there is anything you all may need.... we are here.
With tons of love, hugs and kisses,
Your spiritual children-
Angel,Stacy, and Chloe

Oh, so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.

All the pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in Heaven at last.

Did you wonder I so calmly
Trod the valley of the shade?
Oh! but Jesus' arm to lean on,
Could I have one doubt or dread?

Then you must not grieve so sorely,
For I love you dearly still;
Try to look beyond earth's shadows,
Pray to trust our Father's Will.

There is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand;
Do it now, while life remaineth--
You shall rest in Jesus' land.

When that work is all completed,
He will gently call you Home;
Oh, the rapture of that meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you come!

Our prayers are with your family.
May you find the comfort and support in the Lord.

May you be blown away with the Redemption that God brings out of the loss of your son Caleb. May his seed blossom into the most incredible flower of ministry that you cannot even imagine at present. This happened with the loss of my missionary son fifteen years ago. A missionary picking up my son's sword a going to the Philippine Islands to a prison ministry and orphans home. May the world never the same with the ministry that flows from your son. Can you imagine Caleb's role in Haven were God has fit him into His Eternal Plans. Try to get your mind around that thought as I haven't been able to do that with Barton my son. May the Holy Spirit Comfort you like now one else can. And may you feel the thousands of prayer that are holding you up. There are about thirty fellow worker at WalMart praying for you also. May God be greater that you have ever seen Him with the grater anointing that is flowing from Haven upon you.

Thank You for letting us share our thoughts with you.
God Richly Bless you. James and Charlotte Walden

Just know that we are thinking of you and praying for you.
My Mom was 19 years old when she was killed, I was just 4 years old, I didn't understand death but not having her around was hard.
What a wonderful gift from God that we all have, that he will one day soon reunite us all with our loved ones.
What a joyful day that will be...and know Caleb is
