Not sure what to say?

You are with me Papi...Mom (and everyone) misses you SO much and dearly. Stay close...we feel your presence and know you are still alive, in peace and God is with you. Luv you...miss you SO much, Rhonnie

My condolences to the family. Elijah helped me more than anyone I have ever met in my law enforcement career. I will never forget you

Elijah and I first met while we both worked at Kimbrough Work Program together and became friends immediately. He was a smart supervisor of our Home Detention Program and worked full time as well as full time on the Gary PD, which amazed me that he handled both work places equally well. Elijah was admired by all who knew him and or worked along side him. I had many great conversations with my friend. My friend you will be missed by all who knew you! Rest my friend in the glory of Heaven.

It was my honor to work with such a remarkable, loving, and inspirational man of God. I will miss you. Prayers for your family and friends.

The Cole Family, I am so sorry for your loss! I'm just finding out about Elijah's passing! I have no words! Prayers to the family for comfort and strength as you adjust to your new normal without Elijah's presence.

You will always be apart of my childhood memories. You will be missed.

A final Salute to my friend my coworker a awesome and amazing person . Sending prayers and love to your family . Farwell my Forever Friend.

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Elihah...May Peace and Blessings Of The Mighty Majestic Creator be with him and his Family.

My condolences and prayers to Vernita Cole & family. Mr. Cole was part of our security team when he was with B&W Security years ago and we could always count on lots of laughs anytime he was around. He was a true gentleman and will be sorely missed. Rest in peace.
