Our prayers are with you during this difficult time. We will miss Cole. He was such a nice young man, always polite, considerate and a good neighbor. He was the first neighbor boy to stop by when we moved to invite David to go roller skating. We always enjoyed having him over. Our warmest sympathy to your family.

Cole was an amazing friend. He has always known how to make people laugh, sense we where kids. I will always remember Cole, as the hilarious boy I met in third grade who made fart jokes when we where supposed to be reading, the middle school boy who always beat me at tetherball, and the high school Cole the one that would make sarcastic comments under his breath that I always thought where so funny. I am truly so so sorry for your loss. I know my words won't help much, but I hope they bring some comfort in knowing you raised an amazing person. Someone who I am proud to call a friend.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Cole was a very nice man. I remember having physical education in high school a couple years back, he was always so nice to everyone. He was the type of person that would make something not exciting, into being exciting and fun. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
