We miss you so much. You would've been 5 today and starting Kindergarten this year. Crazy how much time has passed. In some ways it feels like yesterday, in others a lifetime ago. Happy 5th Birthday lovebug. We love and miss you. Gavin and Mommy
August 22, 2013
Happy 5th Birthday, beautiful boy. How quickly time passes but you're never more than a thought away. I smile each time I see your picture and Emmy sees you everyday when she wakes up. Your picture is on her wall of guardian angels.
Wondering what kind of cake you're asking Gram and Auntie to make you this year. Bet you're playing with Matchbox cars with Vovo.
We saw a little boy at the beach yesterday that looked so much like you and Gavin as babies it was unbelievable.
God bless you, sweet Cole. Watch over your Mommy, Daddy and brother.
We love you.

Hello my little pumpkin. Grammie wanted to wish you a happy 5th birthday and to let you now that we miss you, but, you already knew that. Well, Gavin is going into second grade and he is so smart. Every time I see him I want to eat him up. Your mom is doing great and is looking for a place to rent. I hope she finds a place soon and I hope it is in a kid friendly neighborhood. I have said lots of prayers that she finds a nice and clean place with a big yard for Gavin. Thought maybe you can put in a good word for her.
Well, I guess I better go. The tears have filled my eyes and I can't see what I am typing......lol.
Love you munchkin xxxooo
November 3, 2012
P.S. Gavin wanted me to tell you that he misses you so so much and although you're up in heaven, he still misses you hugs and kisses
November 3, 2012
I miss you so much. My arms still feel the emptiness from holding you and some days it's almost too much to bear. Gavin misses you too, he says all the time how much he wishes you were here with us and always asks who's taking care of you now. It breaks my heart. I ensure him that our family and friends who we've lost are all up there with you as you watch down on us. He said the other day that he feels like you're not with him in his heart anymore. Sometimes he just sits on my lap and cries. I honestly don't know what to tell him anymore. As I sit and watch him play I can't help but think that you should be there next to him playing with his cars or watching TV with us on the couch yet in some ways I feel like you are. I went Christmas shopping on your anniversary, Thursday; I had to get out of the house. As soon as I got into the mall, that song by Jason Mraz came on. Brought a tear to my eye remembering back to the day that I first heard the song and the meaning it holds when I hear it. I was flooded with memories from your last days with us and smiled through the tears. Passersby probably thought I was crazy with a grin on my face and a tear in my eye. But before I left through Target One Sweet Day came on and I can remember the feeling I felt when Mandy sang that very song at your service. Then my mind was haunted with all the memories and heartache from the morning we lost you. Ironic how I can't remember what I wore yesterday, but I can remember 4 years ago down to the minute like I'm reliving it, sometimes I feel like I am. I wake up every morning and think about what I have to do for the day and I always feel like I'm missing something. I go through my morning routine, trying to get Gavin and me ready for the day, but always feel like something's off. Sometimes, once I drop him off at school I turn the radio off and allow myself to listen to my thoughts for only the minutes it takes me to get to work. Life is so crazy busy all the time and I don't normally get moments like that but on the other hand I feel like if I did all the time I would fall apart and not know how to pick the pieces back up. But that's what life is about right? It's about getting up and moving on and not stopping. If I stop and allow myself some down time then I won't start living again. Whenever I'm down and out Gavin has pulled me through to the other side, whether in his smile, his eyes, his voice, or when it's really hard he gives me a big hug. It's almost like he can sense it. He's getting so big, he started first grade this year and he has learned so much already. Some of the things, he comes up with, make me think wonder how old he really is. He's so smart and funny, too much for my own good. Well, I must be going, Gavin just woke up so I have to go and bring him downstairs, he's a little lazy in the morning, but it's okay because I'll miss it when he's too big. I love you angel and miss you like crazy. Love forever always, mommy xoxo

You are sorely missed and dearly loved. Time goes by so quickly, but it still seems impossible. Love, Mandy, Tim and your baby cousin, Emily

Dear Sweet Cole-
Another family gathering and so many who are so dear were missing. You should have been running around with your brother and cousins. I know you are well loved up there with Auntie and Grammy and Vovo. Wish you here with us though. I think about you every day as I see your beautiful little smile smiling at me from my desk.
You'll have two new cousins before long, but I guess you knew that before we did.
Time passes so quickly and our hearts hold so much. There is such tremendous love for you in our family, sweet boy.
Love you,
Mandy

I miss you like crazy today. This is the year that I couldn't wait for the best age for you and your brother...and it's not fair! You two should be playing together, 2 and 4 years old perfect ages. Gavin should be teaching you things and be able to play with you. I miss you like crazy and it doesn't matter because it doesn't change anything! No matter how many tears I cry it doesn't matter because you aren't coming back. I can't believe it's days away from being two years since I was holding you in my arms for the first time and almost two months from the last day I held you. If I knew then what I know now I never would have let you go. Missing you and loving you and wishing that I could still hold you and hoping that someday we will meet again. Momma loves you baby boy. xoxo

Baby Cole, I thought about you on Easter Sunday as I looked around at all the kids and realized that there will always be this tiny hole in our family. You will always be lovingly remembered as you carry on as our smallest angel and take care of Gram, Vovo, and Auntie. Love, Auntie Linda
January 7, 2010
Thinking about you Angel and sending love, hugs and kisses to my heart where you stay. Wishing I could see your smile, hear your voice and feel you in my arms again. I look at pictures of you with Gavin and try to keep him from forgetting what it was like when you were here with us. Forever you will be in my heart, until the day I can hold you again. Love you always baby boy. xoxo

Dear Baby Cole, I had a dream of you the other night. Although I didn't see your face, I know it was you. Your Great-Grammy was walking down the hallway carrying a chubby baby boy with shiny black hair. You were wearing a gray and white striped romper. Your Vovo was at the end of the hallway. When I woke from my dream I just knew you are okay. Just keep looking down from somewhere out there and take good care of your Mommy, Daddy and Gavin. We love you, our perfect smallest angel. Love, Auntie Linda
August 23, 2009
Baby Cole,
Yesterday was your first birthday. We all spent the afternoon together and visited with you for a little while. You are missed, thought of and loved by so many every day.
Your Mommy and Auntie Missy and I were talking about the special cake Grammy must have baked you and the delicious Portuguese soup you probably had. We know you're well taken care of by Gram, Vovo and Auntie. There's a little comfort in knowing that they are there with you.
Happy Birthay to our littlest angel.
Love,

Cole,
Words cant express how much we all miss you. There isnt a day that goes by that I dont see a baby or a picture of a baby and think of what you would be like today if you were still here.
Your mommy has been smiling so much more lately and I am so proud of how strong she has been. I think your love from heaven is surrounding her like a blanket to help her carry on until she sees you again.
I regret so much not being here when you were born like I was for all of your cousins and your brother. I am so fortunate that I got to meet you and hold you and love you though.
Please watch over our family along with Auntie, Grammy and Vovo. We need you all now more than ever.
Love you so much and happy birthday, sweet baby.
Auntie Marlene, Christina and Elizabeth

Baby Cole-
We had Billy's graduation party a couple weekends ago and it felt like something was missing. Someone was missing. A lot of 'someones' were missing. While we want you here with us, I'm glad that at least Auntie and Grammy and Vovo are there with you to hold you and give you our kisses. You're not alone and that makes me feel at least a little bit of comfort. We miss you every day, you beautiful boy. I love your Mommy so much and think of her all the time. My heart is broken for her and your Daddy. Watch over them and give them strength. They love you so dearly.
I love you,
Mandy
June 12, 2009
My precious angel,
As your cousin's first birthday comes closer and your brother's third I keep remembering the things I used to so look forward to. You and Gavin at the perfect age apart that he could help you to learn and grow and would have fun doing it. You and Hannah growing up together, and you keeping an eye on her through school. I can't help but wonder how much of a happier place this world would be. Thinking of you always and forever.
Words can't describe how I miss you.
Tears don't help ease the pain.
But here I sit waiting for you
Until the time we meet again.
Love you always, forever and more

We leave you flowers by your grave site, we see your beautiful face in a frame every day, we send our love to you through our most solemn and deepest prayers; we are the grandparents you never got to know, but love you more than anyone could ever know. This Easter, and always, our hearts will both cry out and smile for you, our little perfect grandson.
PS I know you know this already, but you have the greatest, most kind and sweetest mom ever! Keep shining your love her way.
Our Love forever, Nonnie & Vovo

Baby Cole-
Tim and I visited you this week. I think of you all the time. There were two beautiful white roses there with a blue ribbon. You are so dearly missed, little angel. With each passing day we do not miss you any less, but we try to find our way without you here. Time does not heal our hearts, it just helps us cope. We miss you and hope that you're being snuggled by Gram, Vovo and Auntie. What a lucky boy.
Love,
Mandy

I think of you often and talk about you with your Auntie Linda a lot. You left such a hole in all our lives and we miss you dearly. The last time I was with you was the week before you left at your cousin Christina's birthday. I held you for a long time that day and I'm so thankful that I had that chance. I have your picture on my desk at work and on my fridge at home so I can look at you everyday. You are dearly missed, Little Angel.

My darling little angel, I miss you so much. I don't even know what to say. I'm trying so hard to be strong for the family but it's just too much sometimes. I see Gavin and Hannah playing together and he's so good with her. He would've been so good to you, such a nice big brother. I just can't believe it still. Every morning it's so hard to wake up because you're not here. I just miss you so much. Well my darling I will write again soon. I love you always! Tons of hugs and kisses!

Kates, Valter and Gavin-
Never once did I think this is what our lives would be like. We've lost people so special to us so unexpectedly yet we've been blessed with eight beautiful babies over the past eleven years. Every baby in our family is so special and now we have an angel that Gram, Vovo, Auntie and Valter's Dad get to hold. I hope it is somewhat of a comfort to know that Cole is being so well loved in Heaven by those who are so special to us even still. Memories keep them alive and we will do the same with Cole. We'll never stop thinking of him, never stop smiling about him and never stop loving him.
I love you.
Love, Mandy (and Tim)
