Michael Cole

I am looking at your baby girls beautiful angelic face on the invitation to her Baptism we received last week. I know that you are in her heart and forever will she have stories to go with every picture she sees of you. She will always know her daddy. There are so many people who loved you Mike and will be there for Miss Charlotte Mackenzie Cole...we all miss you and we will feel your presence as she is Baptized in Jesus name...miss your incredible smile and lovinh bear-hugs...auntie Jean

I UNDERSTAND THE LOSS THAT YOU MUST FEEL, IT HURTS. NOTHING I COULD SAY OR DO RIGHT NOW WILL EASE THE PAIN. BUT JUST REMEMBER THE JOY YOU'LL HAVE WHEN YOU MEET AGAIN.

Dear Michael:

Superman....where are you now???...can you see the pain consuming my soul...can you hear the tears that fill the night ???...can you fly back to earth & make everything alright ???...Superman, can you whisk us up & rescue us out of death's grip...can you stop bitterness from flowing over this lip???...Superman, why did you leave ???...didn't you know so many would be left here to grieve ???...of course you didn't, for you never knew you were going in the middle of the...

May you Rest in Peace Michael.
Peace and blessings, The Orfao family.

Though our grateful nation mourns with you in your loss, we can only feel a small part of the loss you are experiencing.

Your loved one will always be a part of our country's story. As such, their sacrifice on behalf of our nation will always be honored.

While the process of grieving requires a lot of time and, somehow, is never complete, we will be praying for you and grieving with you.

In deepest sympathy.
