Shoemaker Family 
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
I have truly enjoyed working with Kaleb and watching him learn.  He had many challenges -- he faced them with courage and love for everyone around him.  He will be in our hearts forever.
May he rest in peace. Amen

Shoemaker Family
I was blessed to meet Kaleb at the Hobart YMCA summer camp.  His smile was contagious and the other campers were proud to have him as a friend.  I am so very sorry for your loss and pray that you will find some comfort in your loving memories of Kaleb.  You are and will remain in my prayers.

My heart is heavy for the loss of sweet Caleb.  We had so much fun getting to know him during our preschool day camp at the Y.  I love the picture in the NIP brochure taken during our "Let's ALL Play Camp".  Thank you for giving us an opportunity to get to know him. He blessed my life.  Your family is in my prayers.  May God bless you with strength, grace, love and peace.

Rhonda and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I know how much you loved him. I am sorry that I never got to meet him. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I'm so sorry to hear the loss of your son. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

My son Matthew knew Kaleb and was in some of his classes we r both heart broken and saddened.  It seems so unfair that a childs life is shortened and parents have to endure such grief.  Please know Matthew and our family send our deepest sympathy and just know your entire family is in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Shoemaker Family
I greatly enjoyed having the opportunity to teach Kaleb.  He always brought a smile to my face when he entered the art room.  I remember how Kaleb always added his own personal touch to his projects.  I could always spot something to do with fire trucks in his work, which I know he loved.  Please know that your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

Shoemaker family, I'm very sorry for your loss. I was one of the buddy's on the baseball team and Kaleb always had a smile on his face and was always happy. I'm glad I had a chance to know him.

Dear Maria, Jimmy, Addison, Jim & Rhonda,Words cannot express the grief I feel for your loss. Kaleb captured my heart as well as so many others. His smile and nodding his head from side to side was a sure sign of happiness and it generated to everyone. Thank you for sharing your loving son with us at the Center, we cherished his first words, his every milestone he met. He had us all in the palm of his hand. God bless you all, you're in my prayers. Hold Kaleb closely by all the memories of his love, laughs and the strengths he possessed.

The Shoemaker Family,
I am thankful I had the opportunity to know Kaleb and work with him. Many times I told him he was a neat kid and he would reply, "Not to ME!" He WAS a neat kid and now an even neater angel:)

Dearest Maria & Jimmy,
 I can't imagine what it's like to lose a child. May God carry your family through these tough times. Kaleb is an angel now, watching over you all. We have missed you.
