"I remember when Amber first introduced me to you. You didn't care what others said about me & accepted me for who I was. I haven't met a lot of people like you, a person with character & don't jump at the oppotunity to judge before they know. I am greatful to have had you as a friend
here on earth. You are definately going to make a great
Angel. You will always remain in our hearts!"

"Cade, I have so many great memories with you. Cade you came to iowa on a visit and asked me to come back to arkansas because you could get me a job. I was in a bad way and you were kind enough to take me under your wing. You got me a job with you at riceland, helped me get back on my feet and showed me how to loosen up and enjoy life for what it is. For that and so many other reasons, you will be missed more than words could ever say. Until we meet again, take care of yourself. My thought and prayers to the Osler and Kling family."
