He died in daddy's arms

From Matt Stevens (8/5/05):

Today I held my son in my arms as he took his last breath. Caleb was 10 years old and lived an amazing life, only to have a car accident on a back country road end it. Besides the tragedy, I want to share with you what he spent his last day doing. Yesterday afternoon he lead some of the Chain Reaction interns as they did random acts of kindness. Last night he led the way as we took food to the doors of families who needed it. Then this morning he came to my room with a hot cup of coffee, and served it with a smile. Caleb was a prince who only knew how to love. We are so thankful for the 10 full years we had with him. Please pray for us over the next days and weeks as we celebrate his life and his love. Katy, Joshua, Micah and Jacob remain strong. We have a long road ahead, but thanks to those who call, email and stopped by we have much strength to draw from. Your love and support is overwhelming and empowering to us. Thank you!

Final arrangements will be made on Saturday afternoon and we will get those out as soon as we have them. We are asking that instead of flowers, gifts can be given to Chain Reaction in memory of Caleb. Thank you so very much! God’s Love, Matt, Katy and the boys PS Please keep the Miller family and those who have been interning with us in your prayers.
