Well, what is better in life than a true friend that you can count on through thick and thin? Brock is lucky enough to have two really good and true friends that we are so very thankful for and Cade is one of them. The most interesting thing about Brock and Cade is that they are distant cousins, but didn't really "know" each other until a few years ago when Cade's family moved in across the street. We never would have dreamed what a blessing that would prove to be. Not only with Cade, but also with Deb, Mike, Gage and Dane as well. We truly couldn't have asked for better neighbors and now feel so blessed to also be able to call them "friends." Cade is just the kind of boy that we, as parents, hoped Brock would be friends with. He is really fun, but also respectful, responsible, caring and dependable. We are SO looking forward to next year when the two boys are at the Goedde Building and we can only hope that their friendship continues throughout their teenage years and beyond. I can remember having certain friends who would come to my house growing up and they were so comfortable and just like family and it was no work for them to be there and that is the kind of friend that Cade is. In fact, we often joke that he is our "other son." As a matter of fact, Cade has been to several family gatherings on both sides of our family and everyone enjoys him so much. Thanks Deb and Mike for raising such a nice young man (well, three actually) and for letting us share him so often. We love him (and Dane and Gage) like they were our own!

Thank you so much, Michelle! What a pleasant surprise to find Cade as your tribute today. In a world where kids of character seem to be harder and harder to find, I feel so lucky to have a son who makes such an impression on so many people. We feel just as blessed to be your neighbors and friends!
Thank you! I am honored that you feel that way about me!!!:) Can't wait til church camp!
