Lori I met you and your Mother when Shirley talked to the old time radio group in fountain hills. Shirley's memory of what it was like in Chicago's radio days was remarkable. She talked about things that I had long forgotten. Her love for you and your husband was evident when I talked with her during the brake. She will never be forgotten! I am originally from chicago and can remember my mom telling me how the highlight of her childhood was the little orphan annie show.

Lori Cole you and your Mother Shirley "Radios Little Orphan Annie" Are the heart of Tulsa. Joe Riddle's Radio show plays your music and Shirleys interviews all the time. Your Mom will never be forgotten. Her love for you was apparent during the show. I'm sure she was very proud of you and your heart felt dedication of your CD "Never Too Later". We think of you and Annie often, you are both in our hearts and prayers.

Lori Cole after hearing you and Shirley on the Radio together it's clear that your love for one another in true. Your music "Never Too Late" is a loving tribute to your Mom. You could hear the love and pride in Shirley's voice when she introduced your next song on the Joe Riddle show. It was clear how proude your Mother was of you and your tribute to her, your music comes from the angles. God bless you in your time od sorrow.

My husband and I were able to see you and your lovely daughter Lori in Fountain Hills. Your 2 hour recall of the old time radio days brought back memories of long ago. You made me feel like a kid again. You will never be forgotten. We should all have children like you're daughter Lori it was a pleasure.

We are so sorry to hear the sad news about Shirley Bell Cole. Our kids still listen to the little orphan annie show every sunday were we live. I was able the hear Shirley Bell during an interview about a year or so ago. She could still do Little Orphan Annie's voice and her memory and life stories were to be tresured. Thank you Shirley Bell Cole for your contribution the Radio History.

OMG, we are so sorry, My Daughter talked to Mrs. Cole on the Radio just over a year ago. She was so delightful. I remember thanking her for her work as "Little Orphan Annie" Her stories of her days as Annie and the memories of what it was like to live in those days were Historical events of a time gone by. My 12 year old will never forget Mrs. Cole "Annie" for as long as she lives, the world has lost a very special person. She wastruely the first female crime fighter and see will be missed. As I remember Mrs. Coles loving Daughter Lori was on the radio with her promoting her CD Never Too Late we listen often. Dedicating such a work of art to your mom was a very loving and unselfish thing, she must have been very proud.

I am so sorry to hear of the death of Mrs. Cole. I listened to her on the radio as a child and enjoyed her program so much. She truly helped children of the depression era to have a few minutes each day of enjoyment in listening to her adventures.
My condolences to the family.
