To Mr. & Mrs. Cole, Brenda & John,
I went to school with Bobby, from Lakewood Elementary all the way through to graduating at Pilgrim High. I will always remember Bobby's admiration for Elvis Presley, but what I will remember most about Bobby was how he made me laugh, sometimes until I cried. Bobby had a good heart and a kind way about him. His kindness was felt by many and he shared his heart with everyone he knew. I will keep him in my thoughts and your family in my prayers. May your faith give you strength and help you to find hope, peace and comfort.
With my deepest sympathy,
Tammy

To the Cole family, our deepest sympathy to all of you at this sad time. I had the pleasure of attending high school with Bobby and considered him a friend. If he lived his life half as much as he did in school I'm sure he was still an extraordinary person and role model.
