#KeepOnSmiling

January 13, 2013

I never knew Cole, but I just want to let you know how much of an impact he has made on other people's lives. Nationally they are currently remembering him by writing "keeponsmiling" on twitter because it was said he always smiled. I, along with many, many other people, who also didnt get the chance to know him are praying for you and your family. God gained an extra smiling angel to look down on everyone!

I am so sorry. He made me smile everyday and the hallways are too quiet without him

October 18, 2012

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I remember when we (Cheryl, Dotti, the boys, and I) all met up at Hillcrest pond and walked around. I held onto Cole's toddler hand like a vice grip as he was fascinated by the water.

My heart goes out to you. May God provide you comfort as so many of us are at a loss for words. May your tears of sadness turn into tears of laughter as you celebrate Cole's
life.
