goodbye
Grandpa passed a few minutes ago. I held his hand as he became a butterfly.

Words cannot express my gratitude for the love these recent weeks and months.

Your grandpa lived an extraordinary life and touched many, many people. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Thank you for sharing your (and your grandfather's) experiences with us. It is rare that we see loving examples of elders in transition from one life to another.

May Grandpa's hugs of the past, stay with you, keep you warm, and provide you safety and comfort from now on.

I'm deeply saddened by this news.. I never met him, but he's touched my heart many times through the videos you've shared of your time with him.

Godspeed Caleb, Godspeed.

One of my favourite quotes: "People like you and I, though mortal of course like everyone else, do not grow old no matter how long we live ...[We] never cease to stand like curious children before the great mystery into which we were born."

That's what I'll think of when I think of Caleb. Much love to you.

My thoughts are with you ...

(hug)

It was an amazing journey, and from the sounds of things no one could have reasonably asked for anything more from a life.

An amazing man who will be missed by many.

My heart is with you and all of your family. Your grandfather was a wonderful man and will be missed the world over.
Much love...

I'm sorry to hear the news and my thoughts and prayers will be with you and your family.

Caleb was at such peace with his life and death (such a gift!). I know he is surrounded by love and joy and with those who he loves and who love him.

I rarely comment, but ALWAYS read - I didn't know Grandpa Caleb outside of your journal, but I have learned so much and been inspired by both of you... Thank you so much for sharing your Grandpa with us, and I hope that you continue on with his visions. Many hugs, thoughts, prayers, and love to you.

Wow. He blessed us in life, and blessed us in death. Thank you and him so much for allowing all of us to share in his ultimate journey. His light and wisdom will be missed- what an amazing example to so many of us "young'uns" in your digital audience. *warm hugs* You and your family are in my prayers, and I will light a candle for Grandpa Caleb tonight.

Namaste.

Gone to Glory.

I'm sorry for your loss, John. Thank you for sharing your grandpa with us. My prayers are with you and your family during this time of sadness.

and all that love is sure going to come in handy. I'm so glad you were there with him.

Thank you so much for sharing Caleb. What a priviledge it has been to know and to learn from him, it has made me a better person. It's been my great pleasure to call him Grandpa, too. heh, that makes me think how alike you and I are in that way, so many people calling our Grandfathers, Grandpa. I'd be at his house and the phone would ring and I'd answer it only to hear someone who isn't a sibling/cousin of mine say, "Is Granddad there?" :) I never minded, in fact it made me proud to know that others loved him too.

I'm sure going to miss Caleb, but I feel joy for his remarkable life and his special inner light. Everyone has this inner light of course, but some people choose to hide theirs away, but not Caleb, he let his shine brighter and as a result many others have found their way.

I mourn with you and your family but I also celebrate with you as well. I celebrate love and hope, I celebrate the evolving life of Caleb.

(((hug))) Blessed Be and much love.

Oh, Halcyon, you have my heart right now. Much love to you and your family, and to all who were touched by Caleb.
