Michael Shane Cote'

Carol, when I found out who the soldier was my heart broke. I haven't seen Michael since he was a baby but as a mother I can only imagine the pain. Your son was a hero and to see how many people lined the streets to honor him was awesome. My prayers are with you and your family.

Hey Mikey! I just want to say that you were the best friend anyone could ask for. You were there for me when no one else was. You were also usually the one sitting right next to me when I was in trouble haha..You were my partner in crime. We did almost everything together. You know, there is the one phrase "If your friend jumped off a bridge, would you do it too?" Well you were the one friend I probably would have jumped off a bridge with.. I mean we came awfully close to something like it...
