Dear Coley,
I miss you so much I can't hardly stand it. I've known a long time you would leave us one day but it's still hard to believe. Everyone has been so nice and so helpful to us. You had a lot of friends too buddy. Yesterday was a tough day as it marked exactly a week since you went to be with God and his son Jesus. I know Heavens Gates flew open when you arrived and they knew you were coming. I miss you everyday...in the morning at breakfast and especially after school getting off the bus. I miss our showers and our long, long rides together. I miss your smile and laughter....your running around happily...eating your puddings and yogurts.....dancing and singing...You really taught me a lot about patience and love. I will talk to you often and will see you one day, but not yet, not yet.
Love you everyday,
Daddy

Coley-
I've been missing you a lot everyday since you've been gone. It is really hard to go to your house and you not be there waiting at the door. I wish I could hear you say my name one more time. I know its going to be really hard for a while, but please stay with me and our family during this time and always. Everything I do from now on will be for you. I love you and will never forget you.

Coley, I miss you more and more every day, even though I haven't fully accepted the fact that you're gone. I feel so blessed and lucky to have had the privelege of being your "big" sister. You made me a strong, caring person. I don't know what our family is going to do without you running around the house, squeeling, asking for puddnings, and watching Barney's, but what I do know is that you would want all of us to be happy and we will be. I hope you are having a great time in heaven, doing all the things you didn't have the chance to do down here. I love you more than anyone/anything ever and i'll be with you again some day. Thank you for everything.

Coley Poley-
I am not sure how we are ging to fill the void of your presence at our family gatherings, but I do know that it will never be quite the same. You have been an incredible gift to our entire family and to anyone who had the privilege of knowing you. Thank you sweet boy for all you taught us about life and love. Swing and laugh and talk and watch carefully over your Da, Cwaig and Channy until we all get to see you again in heaven. All my love, Aunt Ra

There are no words that can make things better, but our prayer is that Cole's courageous life, his laughter and wonderful memories will live on forever, making a smile come to your face each time you think of him. He is now at home, with God and his angels. Free at last.

I would like to extend my heartfelt sympathies to the Williamson Family. I was a close friend of Kent's when Cole was born. I remember all he went through as a baby with his transplant and growing into a toddler that filled his entire family with joy. I am so happy to hear that he grew up to be such a wonderful person. I have fond memories of your family picnics in the backyard of Trudy & James' home with all the grandchildren and especially Cole. My heart goes out to you at such a sad time.

Kathy,
I was so sorry to hear of Cole's passing. You and all your family, both near and far, are in my thoughts and prayers. I find myself reflecting on the trip we took together to Cranberry PA and how you talked of Cole as well as your family. There was a such a feeling of love, joy and blessedness in you voice. These are the memories that will take you all forward during the next days, weeks and months. Remember them with joy and let them sustain you in the future. You were all blessed. Please know that I am thinking of you and my prayers will continue to include you and your family to offer support during these difficult time.

Cole was a special young man who loved riding the school bus to Deep Run H.S. As his bus driver for two years, he always smiled (and he had the most beautiful smile), and would often say "home" and "oh yeah". As we mourn his loss, may we find comfort knowing he's home in his heavenly Father's arms. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Cole, you were truly a Blessing that was sent to your loving family and I know you will forever be missed by all of them. You were a very special gift that God sent to that family. I know I was truly blessed one Christmas to be with all of you, as I felt the overwhelming love that was being generated for you by all that were present.

I love you. I miss you. You and your family are in my prayers.

To Kathy and family- my sincere sympathies and condolences to all of you. May the Grace of God and the sweet communion of the Holy Spirit give you comfort in knowing that Cole is resting peacefully. I thank God for having known the beauty of Cole and the opportunity of celebration of his life with Kathy.

Warm summer sun,

Cole,
You were a bright shining light in so many of our lives and you will never be forgotten. If I can live the rest of my life with 10% of the enthusiasm you lived yours, I would consider that a success. You will be dearly missed but always celebrated. Enjoy your golf cart ride to heaven and we love you more than anything!
Your loving cousin,
Greg

I am so sorry for your loss. I was an aide on Cole's bus and he was a very special young man who always said "home" and I know that came from his love for his family. Now, he is in his Father's home and is whole once again.
