Theresa there are no words I could say that will take your pain away.
You and your family have my heartfelt condolences in the loss of Sweet, loving, funny, Caden..
Dear Lord, we call upon you today, as we mourn the loss of an innocent child. He was taken away to soon. He had so much to learn and experience. Dear Lord we need you to guide this innocent child into your Big Beautiful Pearly Gates. See Dear Lord he has family waiting to greet him beyond those gates. Dear Lord I call upon you to also, touch his mother, brother and father, as well as family not mention, as there is a lot of pain and sorrow… Dear Lord we thank you for this day and your guidance on how to move on from this. In your name we pray Amen.
Your loving servant,
Pratt, Jeannie Ann

I went to WMS (woodlands middle school) and I didn’t know him like his best friends but me and him were cool we shared gym and I remember I asked him to hit my leg as hard as he could and I wouldn’t have a reaction and he did it and it hurt so without a doubt he was strong but he was chill and never mean to me so sorry we didn’t get close and wish you were here.
Hamm Dana says
I am so sorry for your loss. No parent should ever have to suffer the loss of a child. I cannot imagine any greater pain or sorrow. Please remember that Caden is still with you always. This is truly just Bye for now and not Bye for forever. He is in a beautiful, amazing place waiting for your return. Until then, celebrate his life and legacy by living well and carrying his memories forward.

HI, I did not know Caden personally but he was in my 1st, 3rd, and 7th periods, I remember 1 time in 7th period I complemented his eyes by telling him how pretty they were, His reaction was really sweet, He smiled, blushed and said thank you. Like I said I didn’t know him personally but if I ever gotten a chance I would love to gotten to know him. He seemed really sweet
