I'm so sorry to hear about your little boy. I have a little girl who is just 7 months old my first child. When you mentioned that your child does not cry I thought of her she don't cry either. I feel lucky just like you two. I can only try to imagine your pain. I looked at your website and tears ran down, then when I looked at all the pictures of him dressed up in all his costumes I wiped away the tears and then laughter came. Your son looks like a sweet, chubby lil cutie! I don't know you from a whole in the ground but you will be in my prayers tonight. God bless you and your family.

Dear Kristin and Dan, I wish I knew what to say, but words seem so cheap at a time like this. Please know that my family and I are thinking of Cole every day. Whenever we pass his calendar hanging in the kitchen, we remember. When I look at my own son - only a month or so younger than Cole - I remember. Cole left a legacy of love that is not easy to overlook. He changed my life - and you have changed my life. I still hope to meet you both some day. With love, Andrea Smith

I just can't seem to stop the habit of checking Cole's journal every day, so I can't even begin to imagine how it is for you to try to stop the routines you had with Cole. Please know that I think of you and Cole every day, and I pray that he's running and laughing in heaven. I pray that you feel his love and that he continues to touch your life. He sure has touched mine. Melissa from PumpMoms

I have known of Cole's passing since it happened, and I have been trying to find something to say to ease the pain and bring a smile. I cannot find words to express my sorrow, or words to help your spirits that haven't already been said. Everytime I see Cole's pictures I smile. I hope you and Dan do too. All of my love and thoughts.

I just wanted to send Hugs to your family from Oklahoma. This is such a painful time, but there is so much joy and love you have had with Cole that will last a lifetime. Unless you are faced with something like SMA in your sweet little child or grandchild you really do not understand this pain. We lost Saria 12/2/02 and not a day goes by that she isnt in our hearts and daily routine. Cole will forever live in your hearts and thanks to our families that share the stories of our children, others will learn from us. I wish you the best. A friend in SMA GMA Sandy to Saria Clark Sma 1 6/25/01 to 12/02/02

I am so sorry to hear of Cole's passing but I know that you gave him your very best. He was a treasure from God given to you to take care of while here on this earth. We lost a baby to SMA as well, my nephew David. It's been seven years and I still think of him so often and miss him. Maybe your Cole and my David are running around in heaven together now...swinging, climbing..enjoying their healed bodies. Every time someone reads your story and every time you share more are made aware of SMA and the fight to find a cure is closer to the finish line. You are an amazing family! God bless you! hugs and prayers your way, Jennifer

I think of you and Dan and Cole everyday...and yet, we have never met. That is how much you have touched my life. I so wish I could give you magic words to help your heart heal but I know that it is impossible and as odd as this sounds, hurting is probably better than feeling nothing in many ways. Because with the pain there is also the joy of your memories with Cole and those memories will get you through this time.

Hi Kristen & Dan and family! This guestbook is filled with so many wonderful things about Cole! I feel lucky in that you had chosen me to take care of Cole..but someone else had a different plan and chose the two of you as Cole's main caregiver's. He has long been in my thoughts and prayers ever since that phone call from Kristen to tell me that I would not be caring for Cole. I am so fortunate to have been able to "watch" him via photos and the wonderful emails Kristen sent to us. Thanks so much for letting me be apart of his life. We are all luckier for that. May you find much happiness in the memories and adorable photos you have of him. He will always be remembered! Love, Julia Sandvoss Cole's Babysitter to Be

I just read the news of Cole's passing. I have been checking in on your family since I first learned of his illness. I am so truly sorry for your loss. You are such brave and wonderful parents and my heart goes out to you. Thanks for sharing Cole's beautiful life with us and helping us remember what is really important. Cole will always be a part of me, even though I never actually met him. He was a little superstar - I told everyone I knew about him and his disease. We love him and will miss him dearly. Take care and keep all those wonderful memories in your heart forever. God will take care of Coley for you now.

Oh Baby Cole, what a weekend! Your funeral has come and passed and here we all feel like we can still communicate with you through your fabulous journal. How brave and courageous your mommy and daddy have been this weekend. They have had laughter through tears and many remonitions about your life with us here on earth. It has been such a mixture of emotions for everyone, sadness that your gone, happiness that your free to do all that you want, all the things you couldn't do here...emptiness that you won't be here for your mommy and daddy to care for each and every day. Your daddy is a dignified gentleman. Your mommy is this remarkable individual that has strength beyond her own recognition. They are good people, they are loving and they are your mommy and daddy always. I love you little man. I love your mommy and daddy and PROMISE to be there for them each and every day. I would like to thank your mommy and daddy, grandma & grandpa linhardt, grandma & grandpa webb, suzzane, missy, shannon and their families for treating us like we were part of your family. Their will never be a friendship in my life like the one I have with your mommy. Send her every sign you can, make rainbows for them often, daddy drives out of town alot and would smile to see you sliding down the colors of the sky. They will find comfort in the fact that you are soaring through the heavens above, carefree, the way that you should be. Love always to your little man. Love Always.

My heart goes out to you. No one can understand the heartache of losing a child like someone who has lost a child as well. Know that Cole is in God's hands, with all our children that have become angels. "The angel of life recorded my baby's birth. As he closed the book, he whispered, "too beautiful for earth.""

I pray that you are embraced by many prayers and that you both realize how wonderful you are as parents. For a disease that usually takes a child before one...it just goes to show how strong and brave Cole was...and you two as well. God bless you through these difficult times.

This is a poem my Dad wrote for your LITTLE MAN... It was time. The pain and suffering had come to an end. His little body finally at rest and ready for God to mend. He touched our hearts with his will so strong. We will never know how our Cole held on for so long. He was a reminder from God that we should hold every life dear. He brought us happiness, and sorrow, and love, and fear. When we look real hard at the clouds up in the sky, running along and playing and laughing is our little guy. God has taken Cole to a place that we only dream about. That Cole was symbol of God's love, we will never doubt. Tonight, when we are ready for bed, we'll look up to the sky, we'll see Cole in Heaven for sure, that's our little guy. Love, Teri

Kristin and Dan, I am heartbroken at the loss of Mr Cole - the impact of this little boy is phoemonal (sp) his spirit has touched the world over. He will live on in all our hearts and in the quilts and Memorial squares that will be stitched in his honour. God bless you both through this terrible time, be safe in the knowledge that Cole is happy in Heaven and having all the experiences he missed out on while here with you. I hope you don't mind but the following gave me great comfort when my Dad died suddenly - I hope you find comfort in it too... Death is nothing at all, I have you are you. Whatever we were to each other that we still are. Call me by my old familiar name, speak to me in the easy way which you always did. Put no difference in your tone, wear no air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was; let it be spoken without effect, without a trace of a shadow on it. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was; there is unbroken continuity. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am waiting for you, for an interval somewhere very near, just around the corner. All is well. Kristin and Dan , I cannot be at Cole's funeral but will be thinking of you, and know that you have a whole world of cyber friends- should you ever need us, we will always be there to laugh and cry with you. God Bless. Dawn (UK) xxxx

My friend Theresa was the one who originally told me about your dear Cole and guided me toward his web site to share in your family's little angel's story. Cole was such a strong little guy and he is looking down at his mommy and daddy with such a great big warm smile on his face. I am still trying to heal from losing my angel in July due to miscarriage and I never even got to meet him/her but our little angels will be in heaven waiting for us to join them someday. Meanwhile, they know God is watching over all of us and that makes them happy! God Bless your family.

Hello Kristin. I just want you to know that I am still thinking of your family and hoping you are doing reasonably okay under the circumstances. I am all the way over on the West Coast but I want you to know I posted Cole's obituary to otpumpmoms and I would be there at his services in person if I could. You know, it is so funny, I never met you two "in real life" but I cried for you all day Thursday and still do on and off. Please know how many lives you, Dan and Cole have touched, and how many people will never forget all of you. Because of Cole, I am telling everyone I know about SMA and hope that all of us working together can raise public awareness and fight for a cure. You see, Cole spent such a short time here on earth yet accomplished more in his little time than most people do in a long life. His time was not wasted. With love, Gretchen from Pumpmoms

Though I never persoanlly met Cole, I feel I know him well from the emails and pictures. Cole is the bravest boy I have ever known. His parents are extraordunary in their care for Cole. Cole has touched many lives in just over 2 years, and I know my life is better for it. The pictures of Cole with Santa are great.

We have continually prayed for your family. I haven't told my children about Cole dying yet.....they will be so sad. To God be the Glory........Cole is with Him.

I have been reading about Cole at the 123 msg board, for over a year now, and I have always prayed for him and his mommy and daddy. There is nothing I can say or do to ease your pain but there is a poem I memorized years ago and I want to share it with you. I lost my Dad in January of this year and the poem helped me through the rough times. Author is Unknown by me..... "I see you in my dreams at night I call you in the dawn And yet I have to tell myself that you are really gone You are gone beyond recall forever and a day And there is nothing I can do, or nothing I can say You were so good to me, so gentle sweet and kind You know that you are always in my heart and in my mind And in my silent sorrow there is nothing I can do Except to live a better life in memory of you...." God bless all of you and may your heartache and tears lessen and turn into peaceful, warm memories. Love Laurie O:)

I miss you Cole. I worry about your parents...Coley please send them signs you are always with them! I broke down again today...Lindsey asked me, "Mom are you still crying about Cole?! That's silly. He is in a better place. Mom, he is free. He is not sick anymore. He will be fine and you will see him again." So wise for a six-year-old little girl with SMA II/III knowing her buddy is okay. She talks about Cole all the time. She tells people about Cole and hangs her head...then perks up and follows..."Cole's okay now...he does not have SMA any more." Just sending my thoughts and love from my daughter. She loved Cole as much a I.

A beautiful little boy left this place to join his friends in heaven. Mr. Cole is now free to do all of the things that SMA would not allow him to do in this life. Even though we know that he is fine and well, our hearts ache for his family this day. These children. These beautiful, wonderful, children who grace us with their presence for a moment, but change our lives forever. Because they came, our world has more love and beauty. Because they came, our hearts have grown bigger and our words have become more soft. Butterflies and dragonflies take on a whole new meaning. We notice the beauty of a sunset. We feel different, we speak different, because we are different. We are better... because they came! Yes, we are so sad that Cole's body died today. We are sad for his mommy and daddy and for the emptiness that they will feel in his absence. We are sad for those who love him so deeply. We are sad for those who never had the privilege of meeting him, but love him just the same. But we are so happy that he came. We are so grateful for the teacher that he will continue to be. Cole's spirit lives! He will watch out for his family every day of their lives, and one day, they will have him again, in a place with no SMA. The world's loss of Cole today was truly Heaven's gain. What fun our boys must be having now!

I just have to say, what a beautiful website! Awesome tribute to your son. I heard of your son from a bulletin bored. Our daughter was in the NICU for 9 weeks of her life with a Diaphragmatic Hernia, where all of her internal organs were up in her chest. We were told that she might not make it and that she will never have a full set of lungs. We cried and cried and were strong for our little baby girl. Though we were prepaired in a way that if the angels were to take her. What Alyssa had was also unheard of to us and our families. God Bless Baby Cole and your Families. I will keep you in my prayers.

Dearest Kristin and Dan, Although I've never had the chance to meet you or Cole in "real life", I feel that I know you and Cole through your postings on the 123 bb. Thank you so much for sharing Cole with all of us; he's touched so many people during his short life. Kristin and Dan, you have been truly inspiring in caring for Cole. He's known more love than many people who've lived a very long life. I'm so sorry to learn of Cole's passing although I know he's now finally unencumbered by his earthly body. I also lost a baby (during pregnancy) on Nov. 18 and I'll always remember Cole on that awful anniversary. Although all of us left on earth are saddened by the loss of your sweet, precious son, I picture Cole in heaven running freely playing with his beloved Veggie Tales friends. I'll keep you all in my prayers. Rita/TX

After watching your travels with Cole these past 18 months, I know that he is in a place where breathing is not a trial, where his legs and arms work like he wanted them to and that he is bringing the same joy to those who are with him there that he brought to us here. Thank you for sharing this precious hooman bean with us and I wish you peace.

I do not know what to say except thatI am so sorry for your loss. I have just finished viewing Coles pages and I must say that he is certainly gorgeous. Cole is one of the most beautiful Angels I have seen. I have sent a balloon up to Cole in Heaven. I thought he might like to play with one while he is waiting to see you again. It just breaks my h eart to hear of his flight home. Do not worry about him, he is in the bes tand most loving hands possible. He is no longer in pain and is running and jumping and talking to everyone all about his journey on earth and telling them about him loving and wonderful parents. I am keeping Cole and both of you in my thoughts and prayers. You are such wonderful, giving and loving parents a child could ever ask for. Sending you so much love, many many prayers and tons of hugs, Barb

My heart was sadden when I read your story. My prayers go out to you and your family. I lost a daughter at birth in 1977 and the following prayer was sent to me anonymously. It has helped a lot of people. I hope it can help mend the hurt. Angels When God calls little children to dwell with him above, We Mortals sometime question the wisdom of HIs love. For no heartache compares with the death of one small child who does so much to make our world seem wonderful and mild. Perhaps God tries of calling the aged to His fold, so He picks a rosebud before it can grow old. God knows how much we need them, and so He takes but a few to make the land of heaven more beautiful to view. Believing this is difficult, still somehow we must try, the saddest word mankind knows will always be "good-bye". So when a little child departs, we who are left behind must realize God loves children, angels are hard to find.

Cole was on the prayer's list at my church, One in Christ. God has seen fit to help your son like no one else could. Mr. Linhardt is a co-worker of mine at Lincoln University. We are all connected in some way, we are all feeling the loss. Your son has gone home to celebrate everlasting life with the Lord, for that you must not feel sad.

You will certainly be in my prayers! God has another angel up there with Him now. And now he CAN walk, and talk and play with all of the other angel babies up there. He has a whole new little body now. If you ever want to talk, please feel free to email me. I don't know exactly what you have been through with SMA, but I DO know what you are going through right now with his passing. Please know you are in my thoughts, prayers, and in my heart!

I just wanted to let you know you are in my prayers daily. I was so heartbroken to hear about Cole's passing. I know he is in a better place, no more pain, no more suffering or struggling with breath. It doesn't make it easier kowing all those things. As a mother and a father you miss your son. I wish I had words of comfort for you. No words will ever make it feel right. Just know that there are those of us out here holding you up in prayer and asking God to give you the strength to make it day to day. Lots of {{{{HUGS}}}}}

The photographs you shared with us throughout his short life were a treasure to us all and I thank you Kristen & Dan for the selfless way you shared Cole with us on 123. I know the coming days, weeks and months will be difficult for you, but you are loved by us all and have the strength to pull through.

Now you're gone to a better place and I feel such sadness I have no words. I know you're happy. Please take care of your parents and watch over them. Goodbye, dear friend. You're a truly a hero. I love you.

My heart aches for you and I wish so much that I could take that pain away. Cole has taught myself and many others what life is REALLY about. He will always hold a special place in my heart.

I believe there is a reason for everything even when it is so painful and I know Cole was meant to be with his Mom and Dad who cherished him so much. Thank you so much for sharing his story with us.

I know at this time there are no words that can ease your sorrow but you have been such good parents and now it's time that God has called him. He will always be a special little angel in our families hearts. Rest in peace dear Cole.

I hope you don't mind that I express my sympathy and sadness through a poem for Cole. He left early this morning While our world was still dark Because angels are not meant to stay On Earth for a long time. And all day the sky was Cole gray In his honor. The angels cried a mixture Of sad & happy tears. Sad tears. For we will miss the Little Man Cole. Happy tears. For the angels are overjoyed to have their Angel Cole back home in heaven. He touched more lives in 27 months Than most people could touch in 27 lifetimes. His work will continue Through those who love him. Maybe someday His work will become a miracle. He did not have physical strength But his spirit was strong enough to lift everyone who met him. We thank God for sending Angel Cole. We continue to pray for a cure for SMA.

Dear Kristen & Dan: I am so saddened by your loss and after reading through your journal and seeing that just recently you heard a song and the words you wrote it just really brings tears to my eyes. Cole was born for a reason and was here just the right amount of time to do his "work" here on earth. Now he is with the angels and you will see him once again. He'll always be with you and with us. I know these words will not heal your pain but maybe one day it will bring you happiness to see how much your little Cole affected others. Many hugs & prayers with you and your family in these hards days ahead. Hugs, Pennie

I really don't know what to say, except it doesn't seem possible.Cole has touched my life in a way I never thought possible by way of the internet. I know he is in a better place now and is having the time of his life. I hope that you and your family can some how make it through this rough time and see how many people love your family. And you have become a part of everyone's family. From saying prayer everyday for Cole and looking for updates and picture everyday. I would go out of town for a couple of days and couldn't wait to get home and see how Cole was doing while I was away. My son and my DH would ask" Any word on how Cole is doing?" My family is sending prayers you way and would like to thank you for letting us watch Cole grow up and all the wonderful pictures... God speed Cole!!! We love you and miss to like crazy....

Cole, thank you for touching our lives. You brought a smile to our face every time your mommy posted a new picture or we looked at your calendar. Your strength and dignity shone through every picture. You taught my daughters compassion...every night they both include you in their prayers. You taught us about this horrible SMA and prompted us look for ways we could help find a cure. Although we only met you through your mommy's posts, we will never forget you or stop fighting for a cure. Kristin and Dan, may God's stength and the love of your family and friends be with you tonight and always. Carolyn, Alan, Emma, Molly and Joshua Costantino

You and Dan have shown true unconditional love, strength, and determination to give your child the best possible life for whatever time he had. I so admire you. My heart goes out to you and your family. Check 123. Cole is still working his magic. Bringing people together. Continuing to bring awareness to SMA.

Being a mother of a 4 year old and a little boy the same age is Cole, its really hits home. I have seen Cole' pictures and read his story and I feel as if I knew him personally. My heart aches. It makes me very thankful for everything I have. I think I will pick my kids up after work and let them know how much I love them. I know that Cole knew how much he was loved by his Mommy and Daddy and was touched by that the brief time he was here. May God Bless you and your family and know that you have so many prayers going out for you.

I am so sorry for your loss. I have been following Cole's story for about a year. My heart just about broke for you when I read your last post. He's been through so much. I am glad he went peacefully. He will be missed by many. Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glint on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you wake in the morning hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circling flight. I am the soft starlight at night. I am the song that will never end. I am the love of family and friend. I am the child who has come to rest In the arms of the Father who knows him best. When you see the sunset fair, I am the scented evening air. I am the joy of a task well done. I am the glow of the setting sun. Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there, I do not sleep. Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there, I did not die!

oh kristin and dan. i am so shocked and sorry. i know that sooo many angels were there to welcome cole. i know how empty and lonely you must feel. i know that no words can bring you comfort but please know that we love you so much and are here for you. i know that you took each day and hope that you can find comfort in not having any regrets- that you controlled what you could and that cole was showered with 100 lifetimes of love. he touched so many lives (and will continue to do so for generations- i am sure). he certainly touched mine. i will miss checking on him. i am so sad for you guys. sweet dreams, little big man cole. love love love, shaina

Kristin, Dan & Angel Cole: Tears of Heaven are raining upon us today for the world too is griving in your loss, I am sorry for your loss, but feel comfortable with knowing that you were prepaired, you all lived day by day, and enjoyed life with Cole to it’s fullest, and i know that Cole knew how much he was loved, for he was secure in knowing that you both are strong engough to move on, so he carefull allowed his wings to unfold for his flight to heaven. I hate to sound selfish, but I will truly miss his presence, for you allowed the world into your lives and provided a wonderful opportunity to restore our faith in humanity and to get to know a real angel on earth, I will reflect fondly on the “gift’s ” that your family has shared; Cole left unto the world, the lessons of how important it is to love eternal, enjoy life one day at time and how significant a mother and fathers eternal love and deveotion is to the quality of one’s life. It’s amazing how you talked before in your journal about the child who passed who visted you, as I started my day this morning there were many factors that kept me from the training I was to attend this morning, needless to say I decided to come on into the office, however on my way in I herd the song from Diamond Rio “I Believe” and a overwhealming sense came over me of Cole, when I arrived to check my voice mail this overwhealing feeling was confirmed, I feel that it was Cole’s way of saying goodby, I do believe that angels are among us, for It was privledge to know Cole. May you find strength and support in knowing that the world too grives in your loss and that God will watch over you and be with both in your time of loss……

But now in Heaven he is making things more perfect. I look forward to meeting him when it is my time, and I know that with any losses we might experience, Cole is there welcomeing each one.

Words can not express how sorry I am for your loss. Cole was such a beautiful, wonderful boy, and he had such a fantastic mommy and daddy. Though I can not put my arms around you, I send you a virtual hug. From the smiling face in so many of your pictures, it's clear to me Cole's time on earth was very sweet. I feel lucky to have "known" him, and you. God bless you both. Julie from pumpmoms

He and his entire family were a study in faith and love. You have been an inspration to us all. Although we never met Cole, we felt like we knew him well. Cole is with his Creator and at peace. For this we can all be thankful. You all are in our prayers. God bless. With deepest sympathy,

Blessings for your courage, your love, your strength and for sharing your lives with others. Struggles and Triumphs -- Cole brought such joy to so many and his legacy will continue forever. He is still teaching me; he's guiding me forward; he is truly an angel. Today, before I learned about Cole's earning his wings, I recieved an email from someone offering to stitch quilt squares. The writer, who I've never met, volunteered because she followed the links I had added to my email in which I mentioned that I stitched for charity and was interested in some leaflets she was offering as they would be good for quilt squares. See how you continue to touch our lives. (((((((((Hugs)))))))) and Love, Priscilla A Cole's Quilts stitcher and 123 board member

I came upon this poem this morning as I walk around mindlessly with a very heavy heart... Tucking Baby In The dark-fringed eyelids slowly close On eyes serene and deep; Upon my breast my own sweet child Has gently dropped to sleep; I kiss his soft and dimpled cheek, I kiss his rounded chin, then lay him on his little bed, And tuck my baby in. How fair and innocent he lies; Like some small angel strayed, His face still warmed by God's own smile, That slumber unafraid; Or like some new embodied soul, Still pure from taint of sin- My thoughts are reverent as I stoop To tuck my baby in. O what am I that I should train An angel for the skies; Or mix the patent draught that feeds The soul within those eyes? I reach him up to sinless Hands Before his cares begin,- Great father, with Thy folds of love, O tuck my baby in. -Curtis May- Godspeed Cole, you will forever be missed... Pam and Angel Shania

Cole will always be in our hearts. He taught us and changed so many people's lives through his challenges with SMA. He taught us true love and strength...even though his body was not strong enough to simply sit, swallow, or walk. He is sitting, walking, running, climbing, and as Lindsey says..."Flying." We love you, Cole. We love you, Dan and Kristin. Sending hugs and butterfly kisses with many tears in our eyes.

Kristen and Dan, there are no wise words that I can say right now, my heart is truly broken for you both right now. Kristen, I have been honored to be a friend of your's and to be able to get to know Cole through you. Cole carries such a special place in my heart. We have talked a thousand times and each time I walked away with the deepest respect in you and knowing what an amazing woman and mother I was talking to. I love Cole, my bongo boy and I know how empty things must feel right now through the shock. I am so sorry that you have to go through this and it is a times like this the hatred I feel for SMA burns inside of me. Kristen, I love you and I will be here for you through anything you need. While our hearts are truly broken I am happy for Cole, knowing he is in a truly wonderful place, I know that Nathan was there to take his hand and I know he will take care of sweet precious Cole.

Kristin & Dan, Thank you for sharing your son with us. He has changed my life and the way I look at the world. I know that he will forever be a part of your lives, and the only happiness you will have is knowing he is finally able to run with the other SMA angels.

This is something I posted in Marshall's journal today - I wanted to share it here too: Cole Daniel Webb - you've earned your wings. You are happy. You are out of discomfort. You can breathe freely. Although we are happy for you, we are now carrying eternal sadness in our hearts - in the place where you used to occupy. For me, it is always expected that we will lose our Type I kids but it makes it NO easier or less painful when it actually does happen. Cole's death actually came as a surprise to me this morning - Cole was just one of those kids who could always beat off the effects of SMA. He was a fighter. But he fought a losing battle against the worst kind of monster. SMA, I will forever hate you for this. You have taken my only child, and the children of thousands of other parents. This morning you stole my very good friend and have instilled an incurable heartache within the souls of his parents and all who loved him. I will always hold dear to my heart 2 nights ago when I was talking with Kristin on the phone and I could hear Cole singing away in the background. Music to my ears. I won't forget that, Mr. Cole. I am sure you are singing at this minute too, only this time EVERYONE can hear you! Kristin had a request for me this morning - she said "You tell your boy to take care of mine." It's done, Kris. I'm sure they're already together - I'm sure of it. ~Godspeed, Baby Cole. You have no idea how much you are missed

I work with Dan at GE. Today is the first time that I have heard about Cole. I have enjoyed the wonderful website. I will put your family on the prayer list at my church. I know that you have had many rough days and nights, my family went through sort of the same thing, my grandson had "Transposition of the Great Vessels", which means that the major arteries in his heart were backwards. His body was not getting oxygen from his blood. He had his first open heart surgery when he was less that 12 hours old. He had 2 more heart surgeries and 2 stomach before he was 6 months old. He came home from the hospital for the first time when he was almost 8 months old. He will be 4 in January and they are now talking about back surgery in a couple of years. We spent many, many days and nights, that turned into months in the hospital, suctioning out his lungs, oxygen, hooking up his continuious feeds through the night w/a feeding tube. My family knows how hard that is. Our prayers are with you! Please let us know if you need anything! We will do everything in our power to help you! Robin Andrews GE Rockwall

My name is Kellie sinclair, I am from Queensland Australia. I was searching google for some pictures of angels and butterflies when I happened across your beautiful site, What a gorgeous boy your Cole is. You see I was doing the search because I have to make a memory page for a memorial service for my angel Ella Jade Sinclair, who I lost to SMA type 1 on November 3rd 2003 at 9 1/2 mths old and as I think everything happens for a reason, I decided to leave a comment on your site. My thoughts are with you, your family and your angel Cole as you face the daily hardships and special joys that come with SMA. Always know, even when it seems hopeless as his mother to love him is enough. AND If by chance you see a butterfly land on your roses, it is just MY ANGEL watching over YOURS. My thoughts are with you. Kellie Sinclair

Kris- I work with you father at Lincoln University. I have not been here long and today was the first time I found out about your little angel, Cole. He was telling me about he fundraiser you just went to in St. Louis. It was heartwarming to see the many moments in your photobooks of Cole and his many holidays! What a wonderful gift your love is for him and I know that he is to you as well. I sit here with tears in my eyes as I write and know that we may not always understand but we are forever changed by these challenges. Much love and prayers to you--Billie

Dearest Cole! I want to wish you a HAPPY HAPPY SECOND BIRTHDAY you big boy you! YOU and your mother mean SO much to me! I don't think there is a single person who has had the opportunity to 'meet' you that hasn't fallen deeply in love with you or a life that you have not touched. Words could never express how deeply touched I have been by you precious Cole! Can I just say how deeply honored and touched I am to KNOW you and how proud I am of you. Your mother is one of the most wonderful mothers I know and has become a dear sweet friend to me because of YOU. You have a wonderful mother a wonderful father, and a wonderful dog ;). So on this day, your 2nd Birthday I wish so much for you. Make sure you get lots of mushy kisses, lovin' and snugglin'. Kristen, I love you and respect you SO much (you too Dan :)). I wish we could be there with you to celebrate the birthday of an angel but know that Lily and I are there is spirit! We love you Cole, my Bongo Boy!!!!!!

Kristin, Don't ever feel badly that you didn't do "educational" things with Cole previously. Anyone can teach a child where the eyes and mouth are. You've taught Cole the most valuable thing in the world - you've taught him the meaning of love. I was a teacher for nine years, so trust me when I say that not all kids are taught what love is. You've done an outstanding job of making sure he knows and feels love. Besides, I bet he knows way more of the everyday stuff than you think he does.

Please don't feel like Cole is behind because you haven't done specific vocabulary exercises with him. He already knows what things are because of the conversations everyone has with him and all the vocabulary he takes in from his Tales. Now he's learning how to communicate to you that he knows those things. That's the same stage as other 2s. Cole is just learning to communicate in a non-verbal way. Good luck and have fun. You'll be surprised at how many words Cole knows. I know I'm constantly surprised by my 21-month-old.

I have been intruiged by Cole for quite a while. I have been watching him through 123stitch message board. I haven't been on-line for a couple of weeks and I hadn't been to the message board in longer than that. I just had to "check in on him". He has gotten so long! He is just adorable. I browsed through your most recent photos. The one on 4-8-04 of him sleeping is SO precious! I would love to sneak over and him him a light kiss on the cheek. Since I can't do that, will you do it for me? Kristin, your son is truly special. You and your husband (and all parents of SMA children)have been specially chosen for an awesome task. God knows that Cole is in good hands! God bless and keep you and your family. Rena Wells rfwnurse@aol.com

I have been looking at all the beautiful pictures of your handsome Cole. They are wonderful. It takes an angel to be so attentive in a situation like this. We have been told often (and I am sure you already know this) that God doesn't give us more than we can handle, and he chooses very special children for very special parents which you both obviously are. I will return, now that I have found your website, to read more in your lovely journal. Our prayers will include your family. Peace be with you always. Carol

:( You know I wish that I could something, anything to make this easier for you and ALL of the parents out there dealing with this horrible disease. I cannot imagine the stress of getting a new feeding tube. Your little guy was so brave but I am sure after a while he just wants to be left alone. I don't like to be poked either. Who could blame him. I wish you a happier and less stressful week. I hope your baby boy gets some much needed rest and feels better!

I wonder if your parents will feel a huge guilt though if they find out which is a carrier? I know I would feel awful if I found something like that out. I hope you have a MUCH better week. You all deserve a break. Please tell Cole I am thinking of him and sending him kisses.

Hi Kristin, Dan and Cole, From talking with your Uncle Fred and Aunt Mary Jane at a "Bruns" Family Reunion Sat. 6/12/04, I found out we are related...and share a SMA angel.. Our son, Michael Truemper and his Girlfriend, Melissa had a Beautiful Baby Boy, Devin Michael on 3-27-98, our first Grandbaby... he was such a cute animated baby boy. At six weeks old when he was being checked for a wheezing problem at the doctor's, it was found that Devin had SMA. Devin did good till Sept. 1998 and developed problems with Pneumonia which caused him to pass away into God's Garden on 9-17-98 We Loved Him so and miss him still.. I am looking forward for my husband, Bill and myself to come and visit with you all and meet Cole. Will keep in touch later. Dodie Truemper

Hi, I had Wayne Linhardt (one of the Grandpa's) as an Accounting teacher. He would inform us every week on how little Cole was doing and some of the games they would play. The first story he told us was about how sick Cole had been and I think most of the girls in the class wanted to cry because of the heartbreaking story. My heart and prayers go out to the family. This site is awesome.

You have done a wonderful job in all regards- mother, wife, keeper of this site- the list goes on and on! I would love to be on your update list. I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. When we worked together, I always admired your upbeat nature and bubbly personality. Now, I also know that you have a strong spirit and an undying love that bless not only your son and husband, but also everyone you touch. God bless you, Dan and Cole! Krysti

Because mommy and I talk on the phone so much, I often fail to post messages here in your book but please know that you are on my mind EVERY second of EVERY day. At work - sitting at my computer, I look up and see the picture of you and your mommy staring back at me (she looks so happy to be holding you). Every time I look into A&B's eyes, I think of you and wonder how you are. You even enter my dreams at night.....your never far from my mind my sweet. Just know that I love you so and wish every day that I could make you all better.....to wish away this disease that ales you. So that is my birthday wish for you my love….. Lots of kisses and hugs to you, Auntie Amy

I am LibbyD's mother. When I first heard about Cole, I HAD to ask 'what's SMA?' I started looking on the MB for updates on him. Over the weekend, I grew very apprehensive because on Friday things were definitely NOT well. I pray for him daily, and for his parents------they will need more strength than any earthly source can give them. God bless you all and give you peace.

Hi Kristen, Hi Sweet Cole :D Not sure what happened on the stitch board- not sure I want to know as I have a feeling my blood might boil over if I heard. I wanted to see how the wedding went. I hope you were able to have a wonderful and happy day. Cole- always know that a lady on LI thinks about you everyday. I have been spreading the word about what causes you pain in hopes that very, very soon there will be a little pill that makes you all better. I pray for that, along with soooo many others, every night.

Hello to Cole, and his Family! I'm sitting here with tears running down my face so if I make typo's please excuse me> I found the link to your wonderful little angel's page through the response from cole's mommy ' on 123 stitch message board.' I didn't see what the 'troll ' person wrote, and it's probably a good thing, because I would be in deep trouble by now. I'm FURIOUS!!- just knowing that someone could be mean enough to have said something negative . I just want to say this, and it is important to me -so I hope you can see this letter. God -in His Wisdom and Infinitely Mysterious Ways,only allows such little angels to go to the exactly right people who will love them as He wishes. I do not understand why such as your son must suffer so, but I know that they DO have a purpose here on earth as much as any other soul...and that they probably fulfil their mission while they are here with us - much better than most of us do . You are wonderful parents, and your whole family looks supporting ..I have known the pain of losing 2 of my own children,I cannot imagine what you are going threough with each day. I so admire & applaud the love and courage that you have shown in your care and defence of your beautiful little son. Have faith,believe - and let God deal with the mean person who must have upset you so badly with whatever he/she said ...for He who knows all will most certainly do so in His Own way and Time. May God Bless you

Krsitin Cole was placed in your arms because they are strong enough to hold him. Your heart is big enough to love him. Your mind is wise enough to make hard decisions. When I look at the pictures of your Cole, I first notice his wonderful wise eyes. You can truly see his soul. The second thing I notice is the love he has for you and the love you have for him shining through. You are an angel. You have educated so many people about SMA. I admire you. You are a very special person. Please don't ever let someone else's ignorance elsewhere on the net cause you pain. I love Cole's punk rocker picture. You have a gift with photography, both with the camera, and with digital imaging. Many people support you. I just wanted to tell you that.... =)

What a scare!!!I am SOOOOO glad that it was just a malfunction. How you have to live with machines and nurses and medications everyday....well...I am not sure what words I want to use here except I wish with ALL of my heart that all you had to worry about was whether or not Cole had a clean onesie for the morning and if his toys were picked up..I hope my wish comes true someday.

Wow - sounds like you guys had a real scare on your hands yesterday morning! I am so glad that it ended quickly and that Cole was singing soon after. By the way, I didn't get to respond to your post on otPumpMoms, but I wanted to commend you for still pumping after all this time!!!! That's SOOOOOOO awesome! I bet Cole's drs think you're a Super Mom for doing so much for him! Still pumping at 20 months is not the only sign, but is a huge one, of your complete dedication to Cole. Way to go!!!

I saw the link to your site on the EPers group, and did not know about SMA. I have been reading your journal and admiring the photos of your adorable little angel. My daughter was born on Aug. 16, so now when I celebrate her birthdays, I will think of your son and a say a prayer for you. I wish you all the best. :)

I just wanted to check in. I asked my friend who writes for Redbook about doing a story on SMA. She said she has written some for some medical publications before :D and she pitched a story about this a few months ago. She said she will bring it up again and see what the editors think. My grandmother died of ALS- which seems to be very similar to this disease. I wish I could cure all of these children myself. I truly do. Please tell Cole a lady on Long Island thinks of him often and wants him to be all better very, very soon.

I am one of the moms from Pumping Moms. I read your update but had never heard of SMA so I came over to your site to read about it. Tears are in my eyes and flowing in my heart right now. How can it be that I have never once heard of this disease? I am an educated, informed person, yet I didn't even know that a child could have this disease. I do Public Relations for a high-tech firm so excuse me if I am being too forward here but I have some ideas on how to get coverage of this disease. Have you ever considered contacted Oprah? Maybe she would help you educated the public about this. I cannot believe that not one public figure will help this cause. I wish I were famous! I wonder if any of the Mother/Parenting publications would cover this issue. Here is the editor in chief of working mother: Susan.lapinski@workingmother.com If enough of us e-mail her about Cole I bet they would do a story on him. If you ask the Pumping Moms to write, I will also post on some of the other Mom boards I am on. (ONLY with your permission of course). There are other publications as well. I know someone who freelances for RedBook. Would it be okay for me to send her this site? I cannot promise anything, but you never know. Maybe she or someone at the publication would like to learn more and educate the public. Do you have any gov't officals that are willing to help? Sometimes local politicians will get involved. What can I do to help? Perhaps if you had a letter that we could all sign and send to our local gov'ts we could begin to get you some attention and ultimately funding. I would be more than happy to e-mail every single politician in my area as well as the national ones. I am sure LOTS of other moms would too. Your son is beautiful and your family is so strong. I will pray that we all figure out what the heck is causing this horrible disease and find a cure QUICKLY!!! Again, any help I can provide please let me know. Love, Michele

Hi there, My name is Terri-Lee Cole and I happened to come across your webpage just by typing my last name in by curiosity. I have just spent the last hour reading your journals and looking at pictures of Cole,and I can't stop crying, but yet feel happy at the same time that God has chosen Cole to come to your loving family. I was a health care aide for many years, and helped take care of children with this illness, and its heartwrenching. My husband and I have been desperately trying to have a child through IVF, and $20,000 later, no sucess. Sometimes I wonder if its for a reason, and I ask myself sometimes if we were given the opportunity to "borrow" a child from God, can we do it? And I don't know if I could. The strength and love the two of you have for baby Cole is beautiful, as he is. He is such a cute little boy, and I will be praying for the three of you. Cole is a strong beautiful baby in every sense, and he is truly an angel. I will remember the three of you every night in my prayers. Terri-Lee Cole Welland,Ontario Canada

I've been keeping an eye on Cole since I "met" him at the 123stitch MB a while back. My heart is so full for this little boy and his family. I tried not to let my heart open up, but the more I read the more I was hooked - and then I saw a picture of those beautiful blue eyes and that was it. I've decided that 2004 will be the year I cross stitch for Cole's quilts. I've got 4 ready to mail and will keep stitching as much as I can. I'll keep checking for updates on Cole. May God bless Cole and his family. Chris

I found Cole's web site through a link on a cross stitch board. His pictures and story have touched me greatly. Today I received Cole's calendar in the mail and have hung it next to my computer. Every time I look up and see his adorable picture I say a pray that he will pull through this illness soon.

Hi Cole, My name is Jennifer. I found Marshall's web page one day out of the blue. I still do not know how I found it. Marshall's web page led me to yours. I keep up with both of your journals weekly. I try to pass on SMA information whenever I get a chance to someone new so people become aware and just may donate money to find a cure. Anyways I finally thought I should say HI. The last time Laurie and I sent e-mails was last October. I probably should drop her a little something. I wish I could do more for her during this time. Well you two boys are always in my thoughts reminding me to treasure life with my little 14 1/2 month munchikin. PS Have mommy update your pictures. Those are baby pictures and you are now a big boy like my son. Let see that cute smile. God Bless and Keep Smilin' Jennifer

Hey Mr Cole and family..Happy New Year. I am glad Cole is feeling better. As you know, my mom has been sick and is now in a nursing home..and has a g-tube also. I am back in the Pediatric ICU in Madison and cared for a child with SMA type 1 yesterday. But I found out that one of our Pulmonologist is a leading researcher in SMA. Dr Mary Schroth. So we are caring for a large number of kids with SMA from all over. We are staying at my dads house until my mom comes home. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Krista

It warms my heart to think of the three of you having fun and making up games that Cole can play with you and enjoy. You are both wonderful parents and have given this little angel so much. Thank you for keeping this journal so we can keep tabs on how Cole is doing.

I got your mommy's email this morning and went straight out to the site and purchased a calendar just so I can look at your darling face every day. Now that I think about it, I should have ordered two...one for work and one for home. Guess I'll just have to reorder. Glad things are still on the up swing health wise....stay on this path. You make everyone happy when you do. With all my love and tons of hugs and kisses, Amy & Twinkies.

Hi Baby Cole, Mommy and Daddy! Well Mr. Cole, you continue to bring tears to our eyes and follow it up with smiles to our faces. You amaze all of us with your strength. You are a very strong little boy. Your mommy and daddy are so proud of you. Everyone is. We sure hope you are feeling a bit better....your mommy says you are still running a fever, but are in better spirits. I don't get here too often to write (your mommy and I talk on the phone too much) ;) It is always nice to read all the nice things people say to you and your mommy and daddy. Occassionally, your mommy tells me there is negative things too. All I can say about that is that we pray for those people....don't they realize that someday you'll be at those pearly gates letting them in? Or not if they can't keep their negative vibes to themselves! Ya see, it makes Aunt Shel sad when people make your mommy sad. When they make your mommy question her every move with you and your care. Your mommy is the best mommy in the world (I'm a close second mind ya) but, she surpasses my abilities each and every day with the love, support, constant care and devotion to your every comfort. Look into your mama's eyes and show her how much you love her. Same for your old man too :) You continue to be stong. Will and Joey send their "high fives" to you and Bill sends them too (from Texas even) Lots of hugs and kisses to you little man. We all love ya!

Merry Christmas Cole and Family..... This was my 1st time on this website and I was deeply touch by your story Cole but you know what? You are a strong little guy and I have faith that you are going to be healed and you are going to make it far. And one day you will be the one giving us and the whole world your testimony. Sometime we don't know why these things happen but God has a purpose. And Cole's Mommy.....You are doing an awesome job you will see that at the end when Cole is healed that all those efforts where all worthwhile. If there is something I can do to help Cole don't hesitate to ask. I'm here regardless of the distance I hope that we can be friends I'm from the 1-2-3 board. Take care Yenny (Illinois)

You can take great comfort that one day Cole will be safe and well in the arms of God. I will pray with you that God will give you wisdom and peace as you make the difficult decisions ahead.

Kristin Daniel & sweet little Cole I just wanted to let you know that even though i do not call all the time to check up on how you are all doing i do quiet freequently vist his web sit to check up on him. I figure with all that you have going on in your life that a call from your First steps service coordinator could become cumbersom. Im glad to see that your doctor provided a script for the Tolerex, believe me i tried every avenue that i could possible think of to assits, however i could never get the representitive for the pharmacuidical company to call me back. The representitive at Novartis informed that local drug representivie might be able to provide a one time special offer her name is Abby Davis 1-800-277-2254 on the Tolerex if you would like to call.

Dear Kris, This is my first attempt to write a message on your web site, but now that I have become computer savvy, I thought I should at least try. Gramdpa and I think that Cole is the cutest, sweetest little grandson in all the world. We so wish we could take away all his medical problems, but I guess that we cannot do that. We thank God for everyday that he is with us and hope that he will not be uncomfortable. He is such a special little guy and has touched the lives of so many people and continues to do so everyday. We also thank God for giving him such good parents and even though he cannot show you, I know that he thinks so too. I hope you guys have a nice Thanksgiving with the other grandparents and we hope to see you the following week. Now that I know how to do all this technical stuff, I probably will write often. Love and hugs to our baby Grandma L.

Its so good to hear you guys are still hanging in there. I decided to check back and see how Mr. Cole is doing. Oh No..new doctor...lots of meezer singing for a great new hospice doctor for Cole and Mom and Dad too. What is meezer singing you may ask? That is when a siamese cat meowmy talks all of your siamese cats into Mawing at the same time.."singing" if you will to the siamese(meezer) gods that help protect all meezers far and apart. That meezer singing has been known world wide to help all folks that are sang for...human or furry..:) Singing Loud and Proud for Cole and his family.

Hi Kirstin I have visited this website, Mr Cole's website first time today. I am so heartbroken to read some of the things here. Cole is such an adorable baby, initially I thought he is one of those model baby in pretty costumes, for posters and the likes. Now I read his story and my heart goes out to him and to you and hubby. I agree with you that everything happens for a purpose. I want to tell you how great you have been as a mother and you are God sent to Cole. Your courage and your love are in so much abundance that I see Cole as a very blessed child. Hang in there, my friend, as God sees your beautiful work. Love Choon Chew

Mr. Cole - I sure do hope you’re feeling better soon and those yucky secretions subside soon! Hang in there....many prayers go out to you and your mommy and daddy. Lots of love, squenches, and a whole bundle of kisses. Amy and the twinkies! P.S. I can’t wait to see the new leaflet you mommy was talking about.

We are sending many prayers, and lots of strength your way. We know how difficult it can get, but we hope that seeing your big bundle of joy, and his wonderfully chubby cheeks will help you get through all this. People always told me that God picked special families for these very special babies, and I hope you believe that! It isn't easy, but try to keep that chin up and enjoy every moment that you have. Give Mr. Cole a few extra snuggles from all of us! Many Blessings to all of you!!!!!

You and your family have been through so much with cole, and you seem to be strong and are doing a great job! My daughter has congenital heart defects. Your family is an ispiration to those of us with special needs babies. you have been through so much more than us, but I can say I know what you go through everyday, not knowing what tomarrow brings. Keep up the good work, and I will pray for your son. http://www.babiesonline.com/babies/k/katrinaannemarie jody

I was NOT happy with my mommy when she said I might not get to see you, so I'm so glad it worked out. I cannot believe how big you are, you weigh almost as much as I do and I'm almost four years old!! I love you and I'm praying for you every day.

I first read your story on the Baby Center web site and followed the link you provided to your web page for Cole. I just have to say - HE IS SO BEAUTIFUL and I will be coming back to visit on a regular basis! I love those curly locks of hair....and his smile is the sweetest I've seen. I just wanted to wish Cole a Happy 14 month Birthday!!! Kiss his sweet angle cheeks for me....... This is the first I've been exposed to SMA and would love to do what I can to help. Please tell me more about Orchids for Cole - is this a fund raiser for Cole? Any info would be greatly appreciated. My home email address is abbynbrody@aol.com. Just know that you and your family are in my prayers!!! Again - kiss that sweet baby for me!

Dearest Cole, Don't give up hope little buddy! Your grandpa Linhardt told me about you, and I wanted to say HI. I heard you just had a 13 month birthday, well, our daughter just had a 16 month birthday. She brings us joy everyday, but Cole, you have brought something else. There is nothing more powerful than the suffering of innocence to remind us of the precious gifts God brings to us everyday. You Cole, touch our hearts and make us better people, make us thankful for the gifts we have, and make us aware that it takes so little effort to touch the lives of others. We will keep you in our prayers.

I've read a lot about Cole at 123 mb,and have been praying for him daily,as well as the rest of his family.I also saw the pictures posted at 123,but this is the first time i have visited this site,and what a site it is!!!He's one beautiful little boy,and the eyes are the most beautiful ones i've seen in a long time.If i hadn't read about him,i would never have guessed he's so ill.All the pictures are beautiful,and i love how you dressed him for each holiday.He came into your and your dh lives for a reason.We may never know what that reason is,only God knows that.But you guys are doing a wonderful job with him,and for him.He is loved by many and has touched a lot of lives,by your sharing your story.I have to admit,i'm 65 and i had never heard of this illness before.I commend you and your hubby for being the parents you are,and for enlighting the rest of us. Keeping all of you in prayer.Keep the faith !!! ((((((((((((((HUGS to all )))))))))))))))))))) Kathi

Hi Mr. Cole, there is a song in Babe the movie that my mommy always sings to me, and when I was watching Babe today it made me think of you. The words are...If I had words to make a day for you, I'd sing you a morning golden and new. I would make this day last for all time, give you a night deep in moonshine. I'm hoping you're feeling better today...Love you, Kalair

Dear Cole and Family: My prayers and best wishes for better progress in Cole's condition to be healthy. Perhaps they will soon find some help for all the babies suffering from SMA. As soon as possible I will order the pattern for "Cole's Orchids". The picture of them is just so beautiful that I would love to stitch them for myself. Thank you for the interesting story and pictures of your life with him. Best of luck in the coming years. Love, Hugs and Prayers, Pearl from Kewaskum, Wi. USA

Hi Baby Cole! I loved the picture your mommy sent me of you and me a couple weeks ago. We sure look sharp buddy! We will miss you this week in Florida. I will tell Mickey Mouse all about you and send hugs and kisses to all the characters we get to meet there...especially Cinderelli! I will call your mommy from Florida every day! Be a good boy for your mommy and daddy. Love Shel

Though I have been following your story on the 1 2 3 message board, I didn't know until today that you had a website. You must be the most gorgeous baby in the whole wide world!!! Your story has touched so many hearts and I am sure will touch many more. I believe you were sent here to finally get the word out about this horrible disease!!! As many others, I had never heard about it, but believe now because of you, so many more people will learn and hopefully somehow the cure can be found. God bless you, little one, and your brave family too!

Dear Cole, Kristin and Dan: I've just read Cole's story for the first time, Sunday 9/7/03, tho I've read Mommy's notes on 123 for ages. You are a dear sweet little boy and are blessed with a lovely family. Your aunts, uncles and cousins look very happy and loving, also. I have a feeling you know in your little boy heart what a courageous and loving set of parents you have. You mother is the hero of a lot of ladies on the 123 stitch board. Thank you, Cole, for coming into the world.

Thank you for sharing Cole's story and photos. I know this is a hard time for your family; just know that God will give you strength and guidance. My daughter is amongst the angels after her battle with leukemia (8/8/94-7/10/96). I feel comfort and peace in knowing she is in a place free from pain and suffering. It is only us who are left behind who feel the grief and longing, but they are forever in our hearts.

Hi Baby Cole. We are sorry to hear that you aren't feeling well again. We know your body is getting tired and we wish so much that we could save you from the effects of SMA - the thing we hate most in this world. We want you to know that your life here has been a complete blessing to all who know you and will come to know you (both here and on the other side). I will be eternally grateful for the friendship that your mommy and I have, courtesy of you and my baby boy, Marshall. You have taught so many people the true meaning of life and love. You are so special to so many people. You have a golden glow, Little Man, and we know you will use it for a long time to come. It's okay, Little Man - remember that. It's okay. We love you so much.

Hi Kristin, I've read your website before, and wouldn't mind being on your email list. I hope Cole is happy. I know he is well-loved. He has the best parents! I am amazed at your strength through all of this, the positive things that have come about because of Cole. I know that God is keeping you and your family close to Him and that He has great plans for you. I just wanted you to know that I pray for Cole and his special parents in front of the Blessed Sacrament at church. When choir at church starts back up in September I plan on passing along Cole's website to get the information out about SMA. God Bless you! I also hope you like what I'm sending for dinner on Tuesday,8/26 although I'm not sure what it will be yet. Monday is grocery-shopping day. Lisa:)

Hello! I experienced SMA thru fundraisers for an associate's son that sadly passed away before one year old, and then again during nursing school clinicals. I am praying for your son and family. We have had a hard year as well after being diagnosed with infertility. I'm working with a repo specialists @ this time. We have little hope with expensive costs. I'm glad that God blessed your baby with such great parents with medical knowledge and graceious hearts. I guess god knows what he's doing after all. It's taking examples like your miracle to inform the public and get the research that's needed. May God's blessings continue for all of you!

As I sit here and read your story, I can only imagine what you and your family are going through. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your son. He is so beautiful...so just try and cherish the time that you have with him and the memories that you have. I give you credit for being as strong and as postive as you are. I have a 12 month old son of my own and don't think I would even have to strength or courage to create this wonderful website if I were in your position. God bless and take care of yourselves.

Your Cole is so handsome. My sweet angel son Cole passed away on 4/1/03. He had Down Syndrome, cystic hygroma and a complex congenital heart defect. I was reading your journal and saw where you called him Coley. That is what I called my son too. I pray that God continues to give your family strength.

Baby Cole, I pray that you have an enjoyable life, and are with us for a long time to come. You have been blessed with the most wonderful mommy who loves you very much. I sense that there many others whom you will never meet that also love you very much, myself included. I pray for you every day, and think of you often. Enjoy all your gifts and cards, and feel the love we are all sending your way. God bless you. Steve, Angie, and Kyra McNulty

I viewed your site that was linked from a site I visit often, which is the trying to conceive, pregnancy, and parenting website. I was truely touched by your site. It is sad that no one really knows about many illnesses until someone famous is affected by them. Your story really made me think about how lucky I am. Your son has really touched my life and I will pray for you and your little angel. He is truely an angel.

Hi! I found your page thru Katie, she is my online friend at a pregnncy and parenting site. I must tell you that I am sooo depresed after reading your story. I am 32 weeks pregnant and it kills me to read this story because it makes me think that it can also happen to me. I wish there was something I could do to help your baby get better. One think I know I can do it to keep him in my prayers and I will do that. We always have the choice of believing in miracles and remebering that if Jesus came back from the dead, nothing is imposible for God. We must have faith in him and we have to resignate to his will. PLease, if you ever need someone to talk to or to cry with, email me and I will be happy to listen to you. I can even call you. I don't know you but I understand your sorrow and your pain and I'm here to help anyone that need me. I send my love and a kiss to your beautifull baby.

Hi Cole (and mommy and daddy too), I'm Judy VanNewkirk from the 123 message board. I finally started paying a bit more attention to the board and just learned all about you. You sure are a sweetie! I have a little boy who is now 14 months old (two little boys as Erik and Jonathan are twins) and they have a big brother (now 4) named Philip. They told us our little boy Erik was not going to live. He has schizencephaly, hydrocephalus and some other things that are hard for me to say and spell. He hasn't given up and he has taught us to live for the moment as well. He's home recovering from his 3 brain operation and has a smile as sweet as yours and the adorable "big boy" syndrome that makes him so nice to hug...I bet you're nice to hug also. Anyway, we just wanted to tell you to get well soon. We've spent alot of time at Arkansas Children's Hospital and though they can spoil you rotten it's nothing like the love you get at home. Don't give up...hospitals are not the way life is so don't think that. Home is where they love and spoil you ALL the time!! Love, The VanNewkirk Family (Bill, Judy, Philip, Erik, Jonathan, Lance (the dog) and Smudge and Stupid (the cats)

I've read through some of the entries in the guestbook. The awareness you've brought to so many is amazing. Keep taking care of each other. I love you all. Kerensa

Your story has really touched my heart, infact it has brought me to tears!! Cole is so beautiful, I just can't imagine what you must be feeling on a daily basis. I know I will go home and appreciate my family that much more because of this website. Thank you so much for sharing everything that you have, I know it must be hard (to say the least). My thoughts & prayers are with your family. God Bless~~~ Kristine Sihachack So. California

Although I cannot imagine what you must be going through, I do know the pain of watching someone you love pass on without being able to stop it. I had a sister that was born with Cystic Fibrosis, a genetic disease that is passed on to their children only if both parents carry the gene. She made it to the age of 17 (6 years ago) and every day she was with us was joyous beyond belief, but you always knew what lie ahead; just not how far ahead. My deepest sympathy goes out to your family. You will forever be in my thoughts and prayers. My sister loved babies and little children but never got to see either of my children as I was 2 months pg with my first when she passed away. She too will be there for Cole come the day that they shall meet!! Love and warm wishes. Leslie, Michigan

Kristin, I know we haven't been able to keep in touch like we should have (blame distance, family, or my complete inability to pick up a phone!:) ) But, I felt that I needed to tell you what an inspiration you are to me. I admire your strenght and determination and your undying love for Cole. Not too many mothers could withstand what you've had to. I'm not sure I could have done what you've done - and continue to do daily. I only hope my love for my girls comes a smidgen close to what you have for Cole. Cole, Dan, and You are constantly in my prayers and although I am bad about making that occasional phone call, please know that I would do anything to help. LOVE YA! Tessa P.S. Give those chubba cheeks a kiss for me!

I subscribe to pumpmoms listserve and didn't want to post to the whole list, but I wanted to tell you how sorry I am about Cole. Your web site is beautiful and he is so lucky to have you. I'm sure you feel the same way about him. He is a beautiful little boy and cannot begin to understand the grief you must feel knowing that the hopes and dreams you have for him will most likely not be realized. I pray that he have as much time with you as possible, and that his time with you be filled with love and happiness. I am praying for baby Cole and for you and your family.

Hey Cole! I am so happy you got to play with my switch. Isn't it fun? I play with mine almost every day and you know what I like most about it? I DON'T have to do what my mommy wants! Of course then I get grounded from my toys for not listening, but that's another story. ;) Anyway, I hope you are having a fantastic day. Tell your mommy my mommy said take pictures of you playing with switches. And of course have her give you a big hug from me! I love you. Kalair Mariana Myrick (3.4 yrs w/SMA one)

Baby Cole you are truly a gift...I saw a post your mommy made at the 123stitch site and she had included your webpage so I thought I'd take a look...Until that moment I did not know what a struggle you and your family had been going through. What strength you and your family have. You are a beautiful baby and will always remain so. As your first birthday approaches I wish you each moment filled with absolute joy and love. You are in my thoughts and my heart and each night I will give my two little girlies an extra hug just for you. Thank you for allowing me a chance to get to know you.

I read your post on the message board for breastfeeding, you had Cole's website listed. I am praying daily for little Cole and for you and your husband. Our daughter had a massive stroke when she was 8yrs caused by a deformed brain vessel. I will always remember those gut wrentching days as she lay in a coma. The Lord is faithful and He is there with you when it seems like you will never be happy again........its hard to imagine but He loves Cole more than you and had his days planned and numbered before he was even born. May the Lord strengthen you and your family as you walk with little Cole in the days ahead.

I was one of of Dr. Linhardts students this summer. I could tell that Cole was a very special person that meant a lot to him, and after visiting your site, I understand why. Cole's parents are very special too! I was lucky to have been the parent of three healthy children that are grown now. Reading your story helps me realize how fortunate I have been. I know only too well that but for the grace of God go I. I wish all of you the very best, and will remember you in my thoughts and prayers. Stan Cook

Kristin, Julie Opperman emailed me and told me alittle about your son Cole. I wasn't familiar with what SMA was. Wow. My heart just breaks for you and your husband. But what a powerful witness about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I know that is is by his hand that you have the outlook that you have. God tells us in his word that ALL things work together for the good of those who love him. While this may not seem true now, please know that Jesus is right with you holding you. Lean on him...take refuge in him...take his hand..he loves you more than you know. You know how much you love Cole, God loves you more than even that. Unthinkable isn't it? What a God we have. We have a awesome prayer chain at our church. I will add you and your family to it. It is my heart's desire that you feel the love and strength of the Lord. Julie Julian

Mr. Cole, we are just doing our routine check in to see how you are feeling. It sounds like you are having good and some tough ones. We're so sorry to hear that. Please thank your mommy for sending us the wonderful photos of you on your tummy. It sure looks like tummy time makes you happy! We think about you non-stop and pray for your comfort. Kristin, as a mommy, I know how tough these decisions are for you. We should NOT have to make them! But please know that we are praying for strength for you guys every single day. You are Cole's mommy and daddy, and God has entrusted his life with you, and you DO know what is best for him. God Bless.

Your attitude to live each moment of each day for itself is an encouragment for anyone who struggles with life. Each moment is sufficient and should be treasured. Cole is a beautiful child and is truly God's gift to you and to everyone who visits this site. Thank you for this opportunity. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Blessings --Sandy

I work with Cole's grandpa Linhardt and he shared your website with me. I've read the whole website and cried the whole time. Makes me count the blessings I have. You and your husband are strong willed people and I'm very proud of you both. My heart goes out to your family. I have a 7 year old daughter and you and your family are now included in our nightly prayers. You are cherishing every moment with Cole and those memories will last a life time. Hold on to them for dear life. We will keep you in our prayers and light a candle for him. His light will continue to shine. He may just have some dimmer moments at times. GOD BLESS!!!

I work with Sally Morrow, and I heard about Cole, and thought I would look at the website and I really enjoyed the pictures, and the story, it is hard to realize things like this happening, but it seems like he is really trying to make the best of it. I also found out that my grandma has cancer in her bones. I am praying for her. We just have to hope that she gets better. You are all in my prayers and I hope Cole has the strength to get through it. Peace, Love, and God Bless You.

I learned of your site from your sig line on the pumpmoms list. I am sitting here crying. I am disabled & my parents were told to give up on me. I have given birth to 3 of my own now. Thank you for never giving up on Cole. He is so precious. I am in love...I will be praying for a miracle for Cole & strength for mommy & daddy!! Love & Blessings, Sandi

A very happy and belated birthday to you Mr. Cole! What a joy you are to your mommy and daddy. I've been thinking of you, and sending you strength to face each new day. Being a parent is the toughest job in the world, but it's that unconditional love that gets you through, and makes it all worth it. We pray for peace and comfort for all of you. Give those chubby cheeks of Cole's a squeeze for us!

Hey Mr. Cole! How are you? I hope you are having a great day! I will be driving past your house again in a couple of weeks. I told my mommy I want to see you, but she said we will have to see how you are feeling. I just wanted to tell you I love you and I keep a picture of us holding hands in my bed with me. I pray for you and think about you every day. I'm sending you hugs, kisses, and hand squeezes from Kansas! Love, Kalair (3.3 yrs w/SMA one)

I can't think of what to say except that Cole is so beautiful. I find you and Cole entering my thoughts often ever since I came across your site from the PumpMoms yahoo group. Last night as I played with my 4 month old son, I wondered what Cole was doing, I was hoping he was having a good day, I was hoping that he was smiling. My eyes swell with tears when I think of you guys. Your family is in my prayers and I ask the Lord for a miracle now everyday. I found myself searching the internet on SMA. I read so many stories that the tears just wouldn't stop. I don't want you to have to say good-bye to Cole, I don't want you to have to wonder if today is your last day. Last night I couldn't put my son to bed in his crib.. I wanted him close to me, I brought him in our bed, I barely slept.. I just watched him sleep, cherrished him. My heart goes out to you and your family. Give Cole a kiss from an e-friend who really cares! I'll be checking your journal every day! Email me if you ever need to vent or just express your thoughts.

Every time I look at my baby boy I have such a big smile, and I know this has lightened his heart as he is such a happy baby. So I say, keep the smiling going, it's such a powerful way to communicate with our little ones. Your little one and your family will be in my prary's tonight.

Hi baby Cole and Family. I don't know you's, but my sister Tabitha is on your cross stitch message board and she told me about your situation and she told me about your website and I decided to look at it to see what I could learn and I'm heartbroken by your family's situation. It was hard to read the story and your journal and all the other links. I can't imagine what your going through or how you could possibly be doing so well in such a hard time. I guess that when you love someone enough you wont give up. And you got all the support that you need and more from everyone around you. I'm not very old, considering I'm only 13, but I could imagine the pain and sorrow your going through. I had to deal with losing my baby nephew just a year ago. But, you never know whats going to happen. Just use your time wisely with baby Cole, which I'm sure you're doing now. Hopefully things will get better with you's, and I wish the best for baby Cole and your entire family. Best of wishes. And hang in there. Lots of love. -Elizabeth

Thank you for the prayers. You have a very cute son. I will be sure to come back and look at them more and look for new ones. It comforts me to know when other people have struggled, even if it's a different struggle through the same thing (pregnancy). Also, seeing that they have healthy and cute babies after all the hard work and pain makes me feel more at ease and lets me know that God is working at His pace and not mine. Thank you once again and God Bless! Rebekah Day

I just wanted you to know that I am following Cole's progress and you and your family are always in my thoughts and prayers. You are truly an inspiration to me each time a read a message she has forwarded. I have two girls, 2 and 4 and you have taught me a whole new appreciation for these wonderful children.

Peace be with you all. We have taken "Fr George's" classes with Grandpa Wayne (we don't call him that) and we are in the diaconate program with he and Marilyn. We have know and followed Cole's saga since he was diagnosed. God has blessed you, and us, with a tiny angel...albeit briefly. He is on loan from God, and even during his brief stay, he will have deeply affected a great number of people he will never know. Know that he and you are ever in our prayers.

Happy Happy Happy big birthday, Mr. Cole. Every day is great, but birthdays are just something special. It sounds like your mommy had a great Mother's Day, and that she's treating you right today. Enjoy those snuggles, for sure. Kris, I absolutely love the saying that hung on your wall while growing up...very wise! Have a wonderful week just celebrating Cole, and being his Mommy. We're patiently waiting more photos! Love, Kathy and angel Charlie watching over Mr. Cole!

Happy 9 month birthday, Cole. You are an amazing child! I love to read your mom's journal entries - do you have any idea how much she loves you!?! And I love to read your guestbook too - lots of other people are in love with you too, you know! It must be your adorable face and those big, fat, squeezable cheeks! And we all love you for the lessons you teach us. We've learned lots from you over the past several months! You're doing a big job for such a little guy! (Maybe little isn't the right word - young, maybe? You're not that little!) Anyway, just wanted you to know we support you and love you and we hope you enjoy your day to the fullest! You've got a special friend watching over you all the time. You know who it is! You be good, Mister! We're thinking about you every day! Love, your special friends

I think you are brave to share your personal life with strangers. Please know we will keep you in our prayers and I think it is important to make others aware of this disease. Cole may not be a famous person in Hollywood but he is famous in the eyes of God, and this site will make others aware. Bravo to oyu and I hope your journey for awareness will not stop here....God Bless You and your whole Family...Bobbi (BobbiLe on 123)

hi kristin, dan and cole- cole is so beautiful!!!! our angel jacob passed away almost seven months ago from type one sma. of course, so much of cole's story reminds me of our own (thursdays always seemed to be rough for jacob, for no apparent reason). we kept an online journal while jacob was with us, and i always find comfort in re-reading it and all the messages people sent us. it is so wonderful that you are able to share him! even though we have never met, we think about you everyday. if we can do anything for you, or be there for you in any way- please ask. shaina rappoport www.ourshootingstar.com

Howdy Cole! I'm sorry I couldn't make it over to your house last Friday. Catherine told me how sweet you are and she showed me your cool pictures. I want you to know that I think about you and your parents every day. I also want you to know that I think you and your Mom and Dad are special, truly blessed. Your Mom and Dad are blessed because they have you, a perfect little boy. You give them so much and you don't even know it. You teach them things they never knew about themselves and each other. From you, they learn how to be courageous in the face of despair. From you they learn what is most important in life. Cole, you are blessed because you have two compassionate parents who love you unconditionally. Your Mom and Dad will always love you. They put your needs ahead of their own and they want only the best for you. You are a lucky baby boy. Catherine and I will continue to pray for you and your family. God Bless Jimmy Giroir Dad of Angel James Patrick Giroir

Hey there Cole, Happy 8th month Bday! What a cutie you are. Your mom has done an awesome job with you website. Great pics, even if you are embarassed. :) You're adorable! Hope you have an awesome day. I met one of your mommy's friends last nite at a fundraiser here in MA, but im sure you already know her better than I do, her name is Laurie. She is awesome. You are in my thoughts and prayers as is your family. Have fun Cole! Hugs to you and your family. Taylor's best bud, Peg ****************************** ****************************** Kristen, Hope you had an awesome weekend. Cole is gorgeous. I had a great time meeting Laurie and Mark. Laurie is an incredible person. Will you be at the conference? I have decided to make this an annual event for me. I went last year to Chicago for my first conference. It was so much fun. I go and volunteer as a child care worker. Hope all is well. Thanks for sharing Cole with us. I read all your posts on the chat list but I dont post a lot. I hope to be able to help Laurie at all the fundraisers she has planned. It was so nice to meet her. Have a great week. Peg Bailey

I just have to say that God has truly blessed Kristin and Dan with Cole. And Cole has been blessed with such loving and caring parents as them! They say a child will change your life forever. Well, this little angel will change the lives of many others besides his family. We just pray that he will find peace and that God will keep them all in his arms. With warmest regards always, The Oliver's

Hello I just want to say that you have a beautiful baby. I know that this situation is really sad. I'm 17 years old. I had a niece that she also hs SMA. I don't know if you have seen her in the web. Her name is Aimee Hernandez. She was a great little girl. She was really smart and she always made our day. We suffered a lot a couple of weeks ago when Aimee had to say Bey. She past away in March 13, 2003. It was really hard for me to let her go but as my cousin(Aimee's dad) said, "Now she is in a better place laughing, playing and running, all the things that she couldn't do" I cried a lot but I came to my senses and I had to put thouse words in my head. Aimee was going to be 3 years old on June 27. Well thanks for having the time to read my e-mail. I just want to say to have faith in God and pray a lot and always have a smile on your face when you are with your baby.

Hi Kristin and Mr. Cole, I'm so excited that you can write in a journal, and get things on paper -- and of course, that we can keep up with you! Thank you for sharing Mr. Cole with us! I'm also excited at how well you are doing, Cole. You have survived a very germy season, and hopefully summer will be filled with lots of walks and many moments outside getting fresh air. I think of you very, very often and keep you in my daily prayers! God chooses special families for our babies, and Cole is very blessed!

Hi Baby Cousin Cole! I just want you to know that you are the cutest little angel I have ever seen. I can't wait to meet you tomorrow. You are constantly in my thoughts and prayers, and my prayer for you is that I could take your place. I'd do anything in my power to make you well, but I also know that Jesus has the perfect plan for your life. You must be really special to Him because He seems to really want you back with Him. Probably because you're just so darn cute! I love you, Baby Cuz. Lesley

Hi, I am still convinced that God just lend's us his little angels. He gives those with the greatest needs to special parents who can give them the care and love that is needed for their short time on earth. The blessing is that we know that we will see them again when we are joined in Heaven with our Heavenly Father. Lifting you, your husband and baby Cole, up in prayer. By staying in today, you can enjoy the precious moments that God has given to you with Baby Cole. XSstitchnut from 123 stitch message board.

Hi Baby Cole! Just wanted to drop in and say Hello! You are such a fighter! You must get that from your Mommy. She is being very strong for you and loves you so much! You know that I love you and I wish that there was something I could do for you - to protect you from SMA. I will continue to send Marshall to "make sure of you" as often as possible. I know you will be great friends some day. You and Marshall have also enabled me to find such a great friend in your Mom - something that I will be forever thankful for - but that I would give back in a second if it would mean that your life on earth could be free of SMA! Thinking of you and loving you always . . . Laurie
