Dear Leslie and Craig,
I am very sorry to read of your loss of Caitlin. You gave Caitlin more love in her 28 years than many people have in a much longer lifetime. You were blessings for each other. Love, Mary Gordon
Leslie and Craig,
Cait was so blessed to have you as parents! I will always remember laughing with Cait at Relay for Life. May God hold you in His hands. Love, Kathy Willis
Leslie and Craig,
My visceral reaction, to say it politely, is “dang it!”
I can’t imagine how her loss feels, but I’m truly sorry for your loss. Jennifer and I saw you and Caitlin at various times through the years while you two were typically shopping for a school project. She was very patient as she stood waiting for us to finish your conversations.
Sincerely,
Joe Stellwagon
I will always think of Caitlyn as that cute little blondie with the bright blue eyes that I had in the Teddy Bear room! She left the world way too young!! I am extremely sorry that you have to suffer with her painful loss and your mother’s at the same time. What a blessing to your life they both were and hopefully, enjoying eternal life together forever! May the Lord embrace you through this difficult time and give you strength and courage to live a life with love and purpose! Love you! Betsy
I just heard of Caitlyn’s passing and of your mother’s also. Leslie, Craig, and Cameron, I am so terribly sorry for the loss of these two blessed people. I remember Caitlyn running around Pres.Preschool after classes were out, waiting for her mama, so she could go home! What a cutie she was!! May the Lord be with you at this very difficult time in your lives and may He hold you in his loving arms and comfort you at this this time. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Love you all.
