Kaleb (almost 5) with his playmates in ChadHer grandson, little Kaleb, died on June 9 - complications of Malaria.
His daddy & mommy laid him to rest in Chad, where they have been working without a salary (donation based mission) to improve the lives of the people they love.
For friends of the family who wish to help the young couple out right now:
Two funds have been set up this week. The following info is from an Email I got from Jan this morning. One fund is to help Gary, Wendy & their 3 year old Cherise fly to the states to grieve with family and friends. The 2nd fund is for their mission in Chad.

Just say (*write on the check) that it is "In memory of Kaleb Roberts". This will put it in a special account so they will be able to tell that money was given for Kaleb.
f you would like to donate to their mission (they live off of only donations) then just (*write on the check) put the memo "for Gary and Wendy Roberts".

The "Kaleb" money will be used for the plane tickets and then anything above and beyond that will be used for a nutrition center there in Tchad.

That's so sad and I'm so sorry. Please post helping information and I will help if I can.
Makes me cry just looking at that sweet face. How is parents must mourn knowing they wont see it again, in this life.
My condolences for your friend's loss.
My prayers are with your friends and with you. Thanks for giving us a concrete way to help, also.
Terribly sad to lose that little angel. My thoughts are with his family.
Oh my - that's heart breaking!
What a sad story, and what a cute little boy.
So little, and such sadness, my sympathy.:)
That's a haunting story Pamela.
I am so very sorry, Pam.
My deepest sympathy.
My deepest condolences to your friend and her family, Pamela. How tragic to lose a child.
I am so sorry for you and for the family of the little boy. My daughter was a missionary in Kabul for 2 years and has many friends living over seas. That just reminds me that it certainly is not without it's dangers. We will keep them in our prayers.
That is so very sad. I will keep the family in my prayers.
Oh dear Pamela....I'm so sorry to hear this tragic news. My prayers are with you all.
Noooooooooooooooo! Not so young!!!
That would be like me losing my Tristan right now. How heart breaking.
Hugs and more hugs.
Oh my goodness, how very tragic :( keeping everyone in my thoughts..

ON a completely different note ... congratulations on doing that midnight walk for Relay For Life.
That is awesome!
You are amazing.
How awful, my heart goes out to them.
That's so, so sad. It must be absolutely heart wrenching for the parents.
After reading the e-mail you sent - the hardest read was the section of the other parents showing up to console them - because they too have lost children to Malaria....and they understood the loss.
Can Malaria be eliminated in Africa? I know they are trying.
Pamela it breaks my heart to read this,those poor parents. I read this over the weekend and haven't stopped thinking about it. My thoughts are with you all.
This just so sad! He looks so precious - as do his friends - so painful!
I sent Jan an email.
Had to tell her I was sorry.
Such a tragedy.
As a parent, I can't imagine.
Oh Pamela...my heart aches for them, for all of you. I am so, so sorry. May they find peace of heart...
Love,
sue
