May 7, 2009

My dearest Caleb,
I have been looking at pictures of you. That is all that is left of your shining face. I have no tears left. Nevermind... here they come. You were the most beautiful person I had ever seen. I will always remember your handsome smile and your warm hugs. You always gave the best hugs. I cry out for you in my dreams. My dreams don't know you are gone. I would give anything and everything to have one more moment with you. You were such a wonderful person, Caleb. Why didn't you know that?! I want you back so bad. Can't you just come back for one more minute so that I can tell you how amazing you are?!
I love you with every fiber of my being,
Your Big Sis

Cabe,
I miss you so much. Words cannot explain the torment I feel. I always dream that you are alive, and that makes it even worse. When I wake up I think you are in the other room. How could you leave us like that?! Don't you understand that the world needs you, we need you, I need you!! I get so frustrated because I don't know how to live without you. It's like learning how to live all over again. My heart aches. All I want to do is hold you. All I want to do is talk to you... one last time. Sometimes I still don't believe you are gone. I think I've accepted it for the most part, though I fight it on a daily basis. I don't understand what good can come from losing you, but I have to believe there is a plan. I love you more than you could ever comprehend.
Love ALWAYS,
Your Big Sis

Avery Coggeshall

March 23, 2009

Cabe,
Remember that time in the car when you hugged me so hard I almost ran off the road? You told me you couldn't live without me, and I told you the same. I meant it when I said that... I meant it. I am so sorry for anything I ever did to hurt you. I hope you are watching from above... I have to believe that you are, in order to keep putting one foot in front of the other. I never thought I would have to live without you. I thought we would always be able to laugh together, cry together, hug each other. I thought it would be like that always. I never wanted to see the day when you would no longer be here. But now I have to keep going without you. My world is in disarray. I cannot fathom one more moment without you, but somehow I keep going. I think it's because I know you are watching, cheering me on. I love you forever and always.
Love ALWAYS,
Your Big Sis

Avery Coggeshall

March 23, 2009

Cabe,
I think about you always. I write to you on this website because it makes me feel close to you. I am crying tears of sorrow. My heart is in pieces and I don't know how much longer I can hold it together. My world has been turned up side down, and my heart and mind ache. My love for you is unconditional. I need to see your face, hear your voice. I need to hug you and hold you and tell you everything is going to be ok. I need more time with you, Cabe. I hope you knew that I would have done anything for you, and still will. My whole existence has been shattered. Nothing can ever replace you, and because of that there is a hole in my heart. I don't know what to do anymore. I would give up anything and everything for one more moment with you. You are forever in my memories. My best memories are with you, and I will never forget... i'll never forget.
Love ALWAYS,
Your Big Sis

March 18, 2009

PS.. I'll never forget that time we were in the car and you hugged me so hard I almost ran off the road. You told me you couldn't live without me, and I told you the same. I meant it when I said that... I meant it Cabe.

March 18, 2009

Caleb,
I cannot even begin to tell you how much I miss you. A piece of my soul has been torn from me, and I don't know how to deal with it. I am dying inside, Cabe, and I can't take it without you. I love you more than you will ever know. I don't think I ever told you this, but you are, and always will be, my favorite person. My heart aches every minute of every day. Your absence causes my whole body and mind to suffer uncontrolably. I don't know how much longer I can live without you. I can't wait to see you again. I love you with all of my heart and the remainder of my soul.
Love ALWAYS,
Your Big Sis

Cabe,
how do i even begin with you? you have always been a part of my life, a piece of the puzzle that held our families together... a crazy, fun, wild, outgoing, loving person... it seems like it's been so long since i've seen you, or hugged you, or talked to you. even though i was with you two days before you passed. its hard to believe you're in heaven now.. i'll never forget the times we shared.. there are so many i can't even remember some of them... you were always there... always at my house... jumping, climbing, playing, just being crazy... i'll never forget when you and ross would run in my room while i'd be sleeping and jump on my bed, how i'd yell at yall and tell you to leave me a lone, but ya'll would ignore me(of course) and just be smiling and laughing and talking.. and not to mention annoying the crap out of me at the time.. you have no idea how much i wish i could go back... i looked/treated you as my younger brother. and i'll never forget always seeing you at school and how you'd always yelled my name,"Ali!" and smile and wave, i'll NEVER forget that. ever. as much as i miss you and i want this to be over, i know you are in such a better place.. and now you have all the answers(to all the questions you used to ask ALL the time; even though you were ALWAYS right about EVERYTHING) haha.. i'll never forget picking you up from school and taking you home all the time..or when you and ross would think someone was in the house and run to me scared haha. those times i'll cherish in my heart forever. i'll miss you on the holidays, on the boat, at the house, at church, when i'm outside, or at the mountains, when i see a raccoon(or any animal really), i'll just miss you. and your smile. but i just wanted to say i love you caleb. and save me a spot up there. i know your smiling down on us :)

i love you Mrs. Lynn, Mr. Berry, Beck, and Ave.

As a teacher, there are some students who just stand out. Caleb is one of those students for me. When I close my eyes and picture Caleb, I see him looking up at me with a grin on his face while hugging me. This is how he earned the nickname "Monkey Face" in fourth grade. I feel very blessed to have been a part of his life. My prayers are with your family.

My aunt, Jo Anne Buck of Cheraw, called to tell me about your loss. I, like Susan Canipe, thought the same thing! Even though I didn't know Caleb, he does sound a lot like the Berry I remember from Cheraw Academy. You are in my thoughts and prayers during such this difficult time.

Berry and family,

My mom, Betty Canipe, called me last night to tell me about Caleb. We are so sorry. You and your family are in our prayers. I did not know Caleb but from reading the entries in the guest book he reminded of the Berry that shared classes with me at Cheraw Academy. God will be with you during this difficult time.

My heart goes out to you at this time. Through my own losses I can feel a tiny portion of your pain and wish I could take some of it from you to carry.You taught Erin in 5th grade and I remember you as a kind soft-spoken and loving person.

children so I must think God has a reason. My prayers are with you all as you struggle through this trial.

Berry, Tom Rowland and I were meeting yesterday on business, and inevitably conversation turned to Caleb--who by all accounts lit the way, effortlessly and truly, for so many. God bless you and your family through all of this. The stars in heaven will light his way now. I pray they will light your life again, too, as they have so often in the past. Your friend always.

I was just reading an article about Steven Curtis Chapman, contemporary Christian musician who recently lost his baby daughter when one of his older children accidentally ran over her in their driveway. Please look at this website and then watch the video to get some profound words from this family of great faith:

Dear Coggeshall Family,
I was so sorry to hear of the loss of your son and grandson Caleb. We know of nothing in life that perpares us to go through such a sad time. Our only hope is the close ties to our friend's and family and our faith in Christ to see us through these times. In reading some of the entries in this book about Caleb, he was a very loved person and that same love will keep you going in the times to come . Our prayers are with you, may Gods peace be with you now and always.

2Corinthians 5:1
We know that our body-the tent we live in here on earth- will be destroyed. But when that happens, God will have a house for us. It will not be a house made by human hands; instead, it will be a home in heaven that will last forever.

Caleb, it seems like just yesterday I was meeting you for the first time way back in 2nd grade. I'm never going to forget the fun, entergetic, caring person you were. Going through elementary school, middle school, and our first two years of high school with you as a friend, that I could lean to when in need of a laugh or smile was great. You were always goofing around with Hunter and the rest of your friends to make everyone smile, and just so you could have a good time- and I'm never going to forget that. Caleb, you're going to be missed so much, but I can promise that no one will ever forget you.
love,

Lynn & Berry-
I cannot imagine what you and your family must be going through right now. I just saw Caleb several weeks ago when he was with Kevin Stevenson (my boyfriend's nephew). They stopped by our house and I could not believe that he had grown up so much! I thought to myself what a good looking guy he was and that he would definitely be breaking girl's hearts! He had the nicest manners and I remember thinking that I sure hoped that my Hunter used his manners like that when I was not around! You and Berry must be so proud to have had him as your son! I know that you all are in so much pain and experiencing so much saddness right now, but just know that you are all in a lot of people's thoughts and prayers and that you have a church family that loves you very much. I will continue to pray for your family as I know others will as well! May God Bless You all and I hope that you find comfort and peace in the days ahead!

Sasha Myers

August 5, 2008

Caleb...You brightened my day everytime our paths would cross at work. Our stories that we would share, the way you loved your Roy Rogers, and the simple fact of you just being you with those voices...work will never be the same. I will cherish these memories forever and I hope you are now at peace. My heart is breaking for your family and I send my deepest condolences.

Dear Coggeshall Family,
My prayers and love are extended to you. Caleb was an inspiration and will be remembered for his beautiful, kind spirit who always had a smile. He created a beautiful garden at BCLC.

Caleb and family,
We simply cannot believe you are no longer here. I remember when we dared you to jump into the very mucky, yucky pond behind my parents home for $20 and YOU DID IT! This was about 6 years ago, but like the Gulledges remembered, you were wild and free spirited. To your family, we are so sorry and we want you to know the entire family is in our prayers.

Caleb... you made my day so many days. I can't thank you enough for just being you. You made spanish class and school something to look forward to everyday. I saw you at the mall a week or so ago and we said hey to each other in the strangest voices just to make each other laugh-we were always trying to see who could make who laugh more..we were about even :p

I will be with you tomorrow and everyday and I know you will be with each and every one of us, always.

You will forever be in my heart. St.James will always remember that amazing smile, that sometimes wild hari and that goofy sense of humor.

You are one of a kind Mr.Caleb.

Love,

Jade Iglesias

Caleb, I just learned your middle name was wilds, how appropriate--I remember seeing you as a boy, running through the snow barefoot, with a smile, and laughter and pure joy--wild and free...I have no doubt that you are doing the same in Heaven--barefoot! We will miss you so, our hearts and our prayers are with you always and with your family.
