You're still remembered Leo

March 16, 2012

I never knew you, and I won't pretend that I did... But when I hear your friends, to this day, talking about you, whispering your name, and trying their hardest to make you always proud of them? I KNOW you must have been one heck of a kid. Rest in peace, Leopold Cole. Your legacy lives on.

You were a good friend. Go and get all of those scientific answers that you could never figure out. You live life to the fullest and thats all a person can ask for.

I miss you Leo. We didn't really talk much in 8th grade, but we did in 7th. I remember when Ms. Toole asked you a question that required a sentence, you replied with a novel :') Rest In Peace buddy

My heart goes out to the family during this difficult time. As a parent of a child the same age, which my son attended the same school, it further confirms how we as parents need to love on our children and establish a spiritual foundation early in live. I cry just thinking about what the mother and father are experiencing. May God continue to hold you and encourage you on a daily basis.
