CommentsGreat Family, you give me great joy in my heart when I see how much LOVE you have for each other I have a son who was born eith SMA TYPE1 and it has been a hard road for my family. I'm blessed that he will be turning 3years old on July 29th.
CommentsColey - I've been thinking about you so much. Sending you lots and lots of butterfly kisses Angel Boy. Please send your momma and dad lots of signs that you're with them. I love you little one ~ Always
CommentsWOW! What a beutiful Angel you have. I am so sorry for your loss. I have a son, Jordon Scott Pyke, who lost his battle from sma type 1 at 8 months old on march 18 2000. All the Angels on this sight give me such hope and inspiration that we are not alone in trying furiously to find a cure for this heart renching disese. You are in our prayers and never forget, we all wanted babies but we got something we couldn't ask more for-ANGELS-!!!
CommentsThink of me Everyday - Hold tight to what I say - And I'll be close to you - Even From far away - Know that where ever you are - It is never to far - If you think of me, i'll be with you.
CommentsJust checking in. I like to hear how you are doing. Congrats on your new home. I am sure the move is bittersweet but something change is needed to help us move forward. I hope you find love and strength in your new home.

Commentshi guys- thinking of you. love, shaina
CommentsColey , yesterday I saw the most beautiful bright rainbow set against almost black clouds. I've never seen one like that before & it was breathtaking, then in an instant it vanished. I thought you might have helped me see it ;) but it wasn't until this morning that I knew why. Thank you Angel boy - it was perfect just like you ! Love you ~Always
CommentsAlways in my mind.
CommentsDear Kristin, My heart goes out to you. As a mother of three, it breaks my heart to read Cole's story...yet at the same time, he taught me plenty. He taught me not to take things for granted. Now, I will never complain agian about the no. of times my baby wakes up to nurse...I will learn to cherish each and every moment that I have with my baby and kids. I pray that you will be strong and I hope that a cure will soon be found for SMA.
CommentsJust thinking about you, Mr.Cole. I hope heaven is everything I picture it to be and more. Keep my Carter company. Much Love Mindy

CommentsYou are forever in our hearts, little man. I'm blessed for meeting your mommy. She's given me strength - as she has the stregnth of a million women. A candle is such a simple thing, It starts with just a bit of string. Then dipped and dipped with patient hand, It gathers wax upon the strand. Until complete and ivory white, It gives at last a lovely light. Life seems so like that bit of string, Each deed we do a simple thing. Yet day by day when on life's strand We work with patient heart and hand. It gathers joy and makes dark days bright, And gives at least a lovely light. Shine on!
CommentsHey Angel Boy ... it's hard to believe that it's been six months since you gained your wings. Stay close to your momma and dad, and send them lots of signs that you're near. I miss you, and love you so very much Sunshine boy ~ Always
CommentsSix months of missing you Mr. Cole. We miss you tons. Six months of you being free of SMA must feel amazing, but we still miss you. Thinking of you today and everyday. You will live on forever in our hearts always. Please know we remember your angel work done on Earth and in Heaven. We love the Webb Family and pray for you all. Hugs to your Mommy and Daddy today.
CommentsWe're lighting a candle today for Cole's half-anniversary in heaven. He will never be forgotten. Much love to you, Kristin and Dan, today and always.

CommentsThinking at the 3 of you ---Lena from Austria
CommentsDear Kristin and Dan, What a beautiful story and photos of a beautiful boy. I can only imagine how you must miss him. You will both remain in my heart. Thank you so much for sharing this with the Friends of Wings website (soon to be live!!).
CommentsOH Mr. Cole how are you doing up there? I enjoyed telling your beautiful Mommy about my recent trip to Hawaii. Lindsey got to visit Hawaii for her wish through Make-A-Wish. I told your Mommy how close I felt to you Mister on my helicopter tour of the island. I was up in the clouds seeing what you see, Cole. Your song was playing during the tour...the song that will forever remind me of you! "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" song...the version that played on the DVD your Mommy sent to me. The DVD I will always hold close to my heart because it's about you. I know you were there with me up in the clouds. I can't wait to meet you in Heaven someday. Keep watch of my babies and thank you for your hand in bringing me another surprise miracle baby. Love and miss you tons Coley. Lisa, Lindsey, and Family
CommentsI am sure a new house is a lot to think about. How is work? Happy Easter sweet Cole! I hope you were able to do lots of fun things in Heaven to celebrate.
CommentsHappy Easter angel boy! And you guys too, Kristen and Dan! Thinking of you and sending hugs...Love, Liz and Kalair (and Grandma Sallie and Baby Brother too!)
CommentsHappy Easter Kristin & Dan and Angel Cole (((hugs))). ~Always~
CommentsKristin and Dan, I was just thinking of Cole today and had to stop by his site to pay him a visit. Just know that even though we have never met, I think about you and sweet Cole often. He touched all of our hearts and continues to do so today. I'm praying for you, take care of yourself.
CommentsHappy Easter, my little angel! I close my eyes and can picture you running through the green grass on a beautiful day, with the sun shine - finding Easter Eggs! You are always in my heart.
CommentsBill and I have been thinking about you guys alot. I hope that your jobs are both going well and the new house too. We think of Cole often and feel honored that he watching over all of us from above.

Commentshi guys- just stopping by to say hi. i miss seeing pics of cole in all his holiday costumes. i think of you often. much love, shaina
CommentsColey - I love you and miss you more than words can ever express... I love you Angel boy ~Always~
CommentsI BELIEVE IN ANGELS, TOO! I have been thinking about you guys, and hope the new "worky" is going well! Keep looking for those signs!
CommentsI sit here with tears streaming down my face. Someone on 123 posted about Cole this morning, and I suddenly realised I no longer had the photos of Cole with Santa - computer crashed and lost lots of stuff. I asked if someone could email them to me and Kerry reminded me about this site! Your little man touched many, many lives all over the world in more ways than you will probably ever know. It is most unlikely that we will ever meet, but I just so wanted to tell you that Mr Cole and you both touched my heart. I can hardly wait to get my Cole Sweet Angel thread so I can start stitching the Cole Tree. I've said so many times - special little man, special thread, special ornament! Thank you both for sharing Cole with us all. I wish you both the best with your new home as you start a new phase of your lives. Be happy. Sending lots of warm love from Down Under Maggie in Western Australia
CommentsAlways thinking of you, Mr. Cole, and sending you big (((HUGS))) to heaven. Kristin, we hope your new job is going well, (((HUGS))) to you too!

CommentsKristen, wishing you the best of luck going back to work - your angel will be right beside you. Hope you and Dan are feeling better - you are never far from our thoughts and prayers. Take care!
CommentsWhat a special gift God gave you!!
CommentsKristin and Dan We love to come and see the photos for Cole. He is so beautiful. I imagine him running and playing with all the other SMA kiddos in Heaven. I'm glad to hear that he still shows his presence to you. Hugs -- Kim, Charlie and Lily
CommentsWe loved seeing your photo on the message board Mr. Cole. Brandon asked to see your photo on the board several times and we talked about you today. We miss you tons and tons.

You are always in our hearts and in our prayers. The Muszkiewicz Family
CommentsHi Kristin, I just wanted to let you know that your story has really touched me! I was drawn to your story of SMA due to the fact that my son was just diagnosed, and your son was close to the same age. Your story touches my heart just a bit more than others due to the fact that my son is named Cole also and he is our sweet, amazing Coley! I wish the best for you and your family! Your story has really touched my heart! All of our best wishes we have to offer to your family!
Commentsthinking of cole . . .
CommentsThinking of you each and every day. Today I changed my wallpaper on my computer for St. Patrick's Day - it's Cole from last year, the 'I'm not Irish, but I would love a KISS!!' picture - I love it. Warms my heart to see his angelic face every morning when I come into work. Love you guys, Katie

CommentsThank you for your website.....Your life was blessed and is blessed....I can't tell you what it means to me for people to tell stories and share with everyone their paths of courage. I am working hard trying to find a way that no children would be born with genetic defects....Not that I'm going to play God...I will not...but just up the chances for children who might not have one. I find power in everyday people living everyday lives with extraordinary children. Thanks again
CommentsI wish you the best of luck with your new home. Sometimes a fresh start really helps. I hope that you find peace and love in your new home. If you feel ready to go back to work, then you should. It may be just what you need.We are all here to support you!!!
Commentsthinking of you....
CommentsHi Cole! Thinking of you a bunch today. Joey and I had a long discussion today about the picture of you, him and Will in his room. He still refers to you as "cold"...one of these days he will drop the "d"!!! We sent some balloons up yesterday, hope you got them. Love you little man.
CommentsJust thinking of you, Mr. Cole...we love you!!!
CommentsWhat a beautiful child and what a sad but beautiful story. Thank you so much for sharing so much of Cole's life with the world as well as your pain and joy.
CommentsHi Kristin and Dan! Just wanted to let you know we were thinking about you guys today. I passed by a Hallmark store and in the window was a huge TY Bear with hearts all over it, it made me think of Cole instantly! We miss Cole. Lindsey draws Cole as an angel in all her drawings...he flies above the horses. She tells people about him and how special is his! Hugs to you both. Kristin, I am still smiling since we last spoke...happy days ahead.
CommentsKristin and Dan, This is the first time I have signed the guest book. I have been to coles website many times. I just miss that little guy and I miss the pictures that you would send to work. Cole is just the most perfect angel. When I think of angels now, I think of Cole. Thank you for letting my visit him with Brandy for the hair cuts that he wasn't to thrilled with but looked so handsome.

CommentsHey Mr. Cole, I was just thinking about you and your mommy. Continue to watch over her and your dad. And when you see Carter, please tell him his mom says hello. Love Mindy
CommentsI just thought I'd let you know I was thinking about you. Charlie's 3rd Angel Day is next week. It is still so hard to believe he has been gone for 3 entire years. The ache in my heart has softened, but will never go away. I continue to think about him every single day, multiple times a day. Your achy heart will soften too, but you will NEVER forget your Angel Mr. Cole!!!! Ever!!! Sounds like you had a scare the other day. It's awesome that Mr. Cole is watching out for his mommy. That will never change. Our prayers for you continue...
CommentsHi, I'm Annarita from Napoli, Italy. I can't remember how I got to Cole website..I didn't know the existence of that disease. It must have been terrible losing such a beautiful baby. I think it's the worst thing in the world, but I'm sure Cole is protecting you from Heaven and is very proud of what you're doing, helping people to know this desease and trying to do something for unfortunate babies like your sweet angel. God bless him and your family With love, Annarita
CommentsKristen...I just read your post. I am so glad you are okay! Cole's angel work is non-stop lately. He is always with you and taking care of YOU now. He took care of my Lindsey when she needed his extra help. What a special little man he is! God Bless and take it easy on the ice, please. :) Sending you our thoughts and lots of love. I miss you Cole, so very much. We look at your picture with "Kitches" everyday. Kitches is getting tons of love and attention from Lindsey...she'll take extra special care of him for you. Sending butterfly kisses up above and all our love to you. Lisa and Lindsey

CommentsDan and Kristen, I have never meet you, but a friend of mine sent me your website about 8 or so much back and I have been visiting it regularly ever since. I am so sorry for your loss. Cole is such a handsome young man. Thank you for sharing him with the world. May God Bless you All! Crystal from Midway, Kentucky
CommentsKristen, Just wanted to drop a line and say that Bill and I are thinking of you and Dan. We hope that you are doing well. Alicia and William
CommentsKristin and Dan belated Happy Aniversary. It's Kim's mom. I was thinking of Cole especially this morning on my way to church. The ground was covered with white fluffy snow that sparkled when you looked at it. After the weather we have had lately it was just beautiful. Thankyou little man. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family everyday.
CommentsHey there Mr. Cole...thank you for sharing your "kitches" bear with Lindsey. She promises to take great care of it and love it every day for YOU and HER!!! We love you Coley...forever and ever!!That was a very special gift to share with Lindsey, Dan and Kristin...it touched Lindsey's heart deeply..she misses him more than you could imagine. It brought me to tears again, missing your precious boy. Thank you for the photos...they will be framed for Lindsey's room. :) We'll try to phone again this evening. We left a message earlier. Hugs to you both....all our love!!! :) Lisa and Lindsey and Family ;)
Commentsthinking of you....
CommentsDear Cole, My brother in law, Joe, passed away today. If you see a man with a silver mustache and a smile in his eyes, go say hi. He'll probably swing you around and around and tickle you to make you laugh. Enjoy his company - I know I sure did!

CommentsHi Kristin, You probably cannot remember me. I was on the Pumpmoms list more than a year ago, and you helped me a few times. My baby is now 1 year and 8 months old and doing OK... I had to give up pumping and pumpmoms when my baby was 7 months old. I was confined in the hospital for two weeks for major surgery... but that is a long story. i have been checking up on Cole periodically. I just checked again now and found out he has gone to the Lord. I'm very sorry for your loss. I hope you're doing Ok, you and your husband. I'll be saying a prayer for you tonight here in the Philippines. Take care and know that a lot of people care. God bless always, Cecile

CommentsJust thinking of you, sweetest angel boy...we love you! And always thinking of you too, Kristen! (((HUGS)))
CommentsI just happened upon Cole's site while looking up quilt projects and am literally in tears after reading the story and seeing the pictures. He was such a precious little boy! I'm holding my little 2 year old daughter in my lap and I can't even imagine the pain you're feeling. I know we've never met, but you're in my prayers!
CommentsKristen and Dan. I was thinking of Cole today. I was going through some of the pictures I have of our SMA kids in my folder. As soon as I seen Coles I shed a tear. I miss him so. I never had the pleasure and honour of meeting him but he has and will forever hold a piece of my heart. Tell him thank you for continuing to play with Jacob and dance and be silly for him. Jacob still laughs and watches the ceiling. Love you and miss you Cole. Kristen may you and Dan celebrate many many more anniversaries together. Angela
CommentsJust thinking of you today.
CommentsHappy Anniversary!!!
CommentsCole - If I listen realllly hard I can hear the fireworks in the distance... they make me think of you ... everything makes me think of you :) Please watch over your mom and dad a little extra tomorrow, and send them lots of signs that you are near. I love you little Angel Boy :) ... oh and Coley - Thank you ;)
CommentsI have been thinking about your family. I know that cole is in heaven dancing and doing other two year old stuff. May you and your family have a blessed New Year. I carry the picture of Cole in my wallet to remind me of small miracles and why I do this job. Blessed wishes, Cayce Groves
CommentsMissing you Coley boy and wishing I was close enough to your mommy to just drive over and give her a hug because I can only imagine how much she misses you too. Make sure you give my big angel boy hugs and kisses from his mommy (and make sure he gives you that remote!!!). I betcha you had a pretty special Christmas there in Heaven. I hope you and Natie are wonderful friends by now even if he is older than you are. Keep watch over all the earth angels and send your mommy lots of signs that you are watching over her too :) Love you Coley!!!!
CommentsSending you all good wishes for the new year from Austria ---Lena
CommentsKristin & Dan, you have been on my mind all day, and I found myself here at your website..... Can't begin to imagine how you are coping, but wanted to let you know that you have been in my thoughts and prayers. I know that Cole is running around Heaven, probably dirty as only a small boy can get, laughing and growling, but I also think that he checks on us all everyday..... May God bless you in 2005 with peace, the peace only He can give. Gerry Henderson 1-2-3 MB
CommentsI hope your holidays were full of signs from Cole and his love for you will live forever. May 2005 bring you love and health and happiness and many signs that Cole is watching and full of smiles.
CommentsThought of you often this past week Dan and Kristen. Someone sent this poem to me 19 years ago when my sister died at Christmas time. I hope you and others who have lost loved ones this year will read and find some comfort in it also. MY FIRST CHRISTMAS--I've had my first Christmas in heaven, A glorious wondrous day. I stood with the saints of the ages who found Christ, the truth, and the way. I sang with the heavenly choir, just think, I longed so to sing, And, oh, what celestrial music we brought to our Saviour and King. We sang the glad songs of redemption, how Jesus to Bethlehem came, And how they had called his name Jesus that all might be saved through His Name. We sang once again with the angels, the song that they sang that blest morn, When shepherds first heard the glad story that Jesus the Saviour was born. Oh, loved one, I wish you had been here, no Christmas on Earth could compare, With all of the rapture and glory we witnessed in heaven so fair. You know how I always loved Christmas, it seemed such a wonderful day, With all of my loved ones around me, the children so happy and gay. Yes, now I can see why I loved it. And, oh, what a joy it will be, When you and my loved ones are with me to share in the glories I see. So dear ones on Earth here's my greetings, look up till the day dawn appears, And, oh, what a Christmas awaits us, beyond all our partings and tears.---Albert Simpson Reitz--
CommentsMerry Christmas from Heaven I still hear the songs I still see the lights I still feel your love on cold wintery nights I still share your hopes and all of your cares i'll even remind you to please say your prayers I just want to tell you you still make me proud you stand head and shoulders above all the crowd Keep trying each moment to stay in his grace you dont have to be perfect all of the time he forgives you the slip if you continue to climb to my family and friends please be thankful today im still close beside you in a new special way I love you all dearly now don't shed a tear cause i'm spending my Christmas with jesus this year
CommentsMerry 1st Christmas in Heaven Angel Boy ... I know that you're watching over your momma and dad today, and always and sending them lots of beautiful signs that you are near. Coley - you've taught me soooo much... you've changed my whole world, and that is the most precious gift I could ever receive ... thank you sweet boy. I love you Angel ~ Always.
CommentsI don't know what made me think of Cole tonight but somehow I ended up here. I was touched to see that Cole continues to touch people from Heaven, just like he did on Earth. His short life was made so amazing by having such great parents like you. Pls take care of yourselves and find comfort in the knowledge that God will take care of him in his Heaven until it's time for you to join him there. Sam's Mom, Jodi, from Pump Moms
CommentsMerry Christmas Coley...I hope you got roller skates, pogo sticks, and a two wheeler bike up in heaven today! I love you Cole. You are always in my heart. Lisa and Family
CommentsKristin and Dan, I know today is going to be very difficult for you both. As Kim probably told you I bought a special white Santa especially thinking of our sweet little angel. He has touched our hearts very deeply. He will be always remembered and in my prayers. Hope Santa is good to you angel boy.
CommentsMr. Cole, Just thinking of you and your mommy and daddy today. We know today is rough. You are always in our toughts and forever in our hearts. Love, Mindy (Carter's Mom)
CommentsMy heart is heavy tonight...thinking of my friends. I am saying extra prayers for you both, Kristin and Dan. Sending all my love. Lisa and Lindsey
CommentsHi Kris and Dan, Just wanted to send all our love to you tonight. I know how much you are missing Cole and wishing he could have been here to enjoy the magic of Christmas again. My heart hurts too - this is the day we buried Marshall, 2 years ago. It certainly was a difficult day for us today and we are sure your hearts ache as well. Be comforted by the thoughts and sweet memories of Cole and know that we still walk beside you - and we always will. Lots of love to both of you. ~L, M & M ^i^
CommentsYour first Christmas in Heaven sweet Coley...I miss you so much. Everyday in heaven is like Christmas right? I love you Coley boy and I wanted you to know...please give my big boy a hug and a kiss from me and Lily would you? Make sure you send lots of angel hugs to your mommy and daddy too...I love them too. Kristen...I love you!
CommentsDear Kristin & Dan, I send you many Christmas greetings from Austria. I hope my ornament for you still made it in time. Thinking at you and little Cole too during this holiday season ---Lena
CommentsI too lost a son to SMA1 in 1990. A very good friend of mine just got the diagnosis that her 3 month old baby boy has SMA1. We live in a communtiy of 450 people and about half of those are kids. How could this happen again? I started to look for some support group for her and was so pleased to find the Families of SMA. When I had my son, computers were not that common and I really had no one to talk to who had gone through this. How I ended up at Cole's web page, I do not know. But I do know your web-site will be a big help when I show it to my friend. Happy Holidays to you and remember that we both have angels smiling down on us!
CommentsKristin and Dan, Just wanted you to know that Im thinking of you right now. I just read your journals. Your are so strong. You were and still are one of the most inspiring women I have ever met. I love Cole and miss hearing about him terrible. I do pray 2005 can bring you some peace and comfort knowing Cole is healthy and safe now. I wonder if Cole is here playing with Jacob sometimes. He still always 'talks' to the angels only our angels can see. I love watching his eyes dance watching them. Cole continues to do miracles daily here. Many thoughts and hugs coming from Canada All our love, Angela, Alyssa and Jacob (baby bear)
CommentsWe wish you peace and many blessings for 2005. Kristen and Dan, you are in our prayers daily and we hope you have a nice Christmas together. We hope it brings you comfort to remember all the special times you had with Cole and know he is in a better place now. God's blessings to you and your family during the holidays.
CommentsI know that this is going to be a very difficult Christmas and New Year's Eve. I will be thinking about you. I wish you a peaceful 2005 and hope that your heart aches less and feels joy again soon.
CommentsWell Mr. Cole, I am thinking about you and your parents today. I was telling your Mommy how a family that stitched one of Lindsey's squares sent us very thoughtful and touching email. A family that is praying and caring for Lindsey nightly. A wonderful family that reached out to let us know we are in their prayers...came to meet us through you. You inspire many, many ladies to stitch with their hearts and souls for Cole's Quilts and introduced much love into many SMA families lives too. Thank you Cole for being the special miracle man you were and continue to be. You take my breath away Mister Cole and we miss you so very much. Thank you for keeping watch over my little Lindsey. Hugs to you both Kristen and Dan...saying a special prayer for you both over the next few days. We love you guys.
CommentsVery nice and useful website. Please visit my website. Happy Xmas and New Year!!! :) http://www.metropolis5000.com
CommentsWe love you our little Christmas angel. You are in our thoughts and prayers every day. We have our special 'angel Cole' candle by the tree that smells wonderful. The thought of you makes me smile, and puts peace in my heart. Love, Katie
CommentsKristen, thinking of you and your family especially Cole at this time and always -
CommentsKristen, my heart aches for you....even though I know that Cole is safe in God's arms my heart hurts for your heart....I just want you to know that I read Cole's journal everyday.
Commentshi guys- just checking in and sending love. shaina
CommentsKristin, Christina's quilt has arrived. It is gorgeous. You and all the other ladies did an excellent job at choosing just the right designs for her. Each square reminds me of particular memory which I believe I will create scrap booking pages for each square and place a memory to each one. Linda did a excellent job at picking out the background material. I would have thought butterflies but the bear pattern fits Christina to a "T". One of the bears is a female with wings, a crown, and a wand. It tells me, "I am a diva, princess, and angel all in one." That's my girl. Thanks, Cole, without you this quilt would have never been done. Your legacy will live on through each and every quilt stitched for Cole's Quilts.
CommentsHi, Just want to let you know that I am thinking of you and the family. Angel Cole is celebrating with Angel Christina, not just them but among other SMA Angels. I know I ll meet him on other side. Here is my hug to you and your family. Edna (Doddie Jo Slack's Cousin)
CommentsI was thinking of you and Cole today....I just wanted you to know that.
CommentsKristin, Dan and Angel Cole I think of you guys everyday. I am sure Cole is just having a ball with all the other SMA Angels, Christina, Mia, Gilly, Taleah, and all the others I don't recall names for.
CommentsKristen, Just remember we are here for you on the 123 MB......if you need anything. Prayers from Tennessee for you and Dan. God Bless You Both, Jane
CommentsDear Kristin & Dan, I've been touched by the life of sweet baby Cole, the love, courage and tears that have been shared with so many. I hope that some peace is bought to you both, in the knowledge that baby Cole is in Gods garden, laughing the loudest, playing the hardest and shining the brightest. God Bless!!!
CommentsColey ... I lit your special candle tonight. It was beautiful, just like you :) Send your Mom and Dad lots of signs tomorrow ok ?? I love you little man - Always
CommentsI want you all to know even though I don't know you personally my heart goes to you. Cole's site is so touching.
CommentsMy "C" I think of you often and miss you much. Thanks for dropping by last night.....Abby saw you and she just kept smiling and pointing up above my shoulder and saying "baby, baby, baby". When I asked her if is was baby Cole she shook her head yes and said baby. You only stayed for a few minutes but I know you where there. Thanks for giving me that little nudge. Love you to pieces.....keep sending mommy little signs honey....I know she loves to hear from you.
CommentsOh Kristin and Dan. Thinking of you today as I do every day. Our family lost a dear friend this week, my 20-year-old daughter's godmother Kathy. She was a wonderful woman, always in poor health, who adored children including all of mine. She died at 41, long before her time. It makes us happy to think Cole must have been there to welcome her to Heaven, and she is happy playing with him there. She always surrounded herself with children and babies, and I think Cole helped make her arrival in Heaven happy. My 3-year-old son asked me "Did God fix Kathy? Does she feel better?" and I told him yes. God fixed Kathy and he fixed Cole too. I'll bet she is up there reading him books and running and jumping with him. Love always, Gretchen from Pumpmoms
CommentsDear Webb family, There is a new little angel smiling down at you this Christmas. He doesn't want you to be sad, but remember the time you shared together. Our children are indeed a blessing to us. Your dear friend Linda introduced me to Cole's Quilts. I thank her for that and I have stitched for two quilts so far and will do more in the future. Your journal is so touching. I wanted to tell you. I'd like to give you a hug if I physically could. God Bless you and take it one day at a time. That's my motto. : )
CommentsI am very sorry to hear about Cole. He is now another angel looking over us. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I was a member of pumpmoms. My daughter is now 16 months old and I have not been breastfeeding since she was 3 months, but I would always come and check on little Cole. God bless you and your family.
CommentsOh Cole...we've been thinking about you and wondering how much fun you must be having with your angel friends. We miss you! We love you! Kristin and Dan you are still on our mind and always in our hearts...forever. Hugs to you both, I wish I could be there to give them to you in person. :( I will call you soon, Kristin! :) Love and Hugs from Lisa and Lindsey. Thousands of butterfly kisses to you Coley!
CommentsKristin and Dan, Wanted to send many hugs to you two.. I think of little Cole often. Know that he is still with you, by looking down and giving you the strength you need to get through this. He's one very special angel. Hugs. Gina
CommentsWe love you SO much, Mr. Cole...and we miss you every single day. Sending big (((HUGS))) to you in heaven buddy. Kristin, we're thinking of you always...
CommentsHi Buddy, Just wanted you to know we miss you. We think of you every single day and hope that heaven is treating you well. We love you Big Boy! ~L, M & M ^i^
CommentsDear Kristin and Dan, Just wanted to let you know I was thinking about you and your precious little man, Cole. Karen Reilly saw a ladybug at Connor's window on the 18th. I feel it was Taylor letting us know your beloved Cole was with her. The 18th was her birthday and she so loved her birthday. I saw a ladybug on Thanksgiving. Taylor must have known I needed a sign too, so she sent one to me. I was at a high school football game and it was such a great day for a NE Thanksgiving. Taylor also sent me a ladybug when Mia passed. I feel so blessed to know and love all these angels. You and Dan are in my thoughts and prayers. Huge hugs sent across the miles. Love, Taylor's best bud, Peg...................................... Dear Cole, Keep watch over Mommy and Daddy. Help Mommy find the two things she mentioned in her journal. I will pray as well. Cole your light will shine forever in my heart. I had you remembered at the altar at church last week. Huggies from here to heaven. Give my Taylor a huge hug as well. Be careful on that new bike of hers when she gives you a ride. I asked God to give her a new one for her 9th birthday. She is somewhat of a daredevil. Have Paul read you a story. Hugs, Taylor's best bud, Peg
CommentsI am so glad that Cole is sending you special signs. I hope you find what you are looking for. I know that Saint Anthony is also good at helping find special items.
CommentsHi Baby Cole! We sure miss you a bunch and hearing what your doing from day to day. But, we had dinner with your mommy and daddy this weekend, and what a time we had talking about you while you were here with them. Your mommy and daddy are doing pretty good, missing you terribly but are doing their best to move forward. I can't tell you what it means to your mommy and daddy that you send them such beautiful signs to let them know you are watching over them. I know mommy would love to see a rainbow one of these days (hint hint), but I also know she will take what you can send her. They sure love you little man and they always will. They are staying strong, because you were strong. They have a very special love for each other, the same love that created you and the same love that saw each and every one of you through each and every day...the same love that you gave to them. We love you little man and think of you every day. Have fun playing with all your friends and don't forget to take your naps!!!!! Lots of love...Shel, Bill, Will & Joey (Sandy and Holly too...ruf ruf)
CommentsWe think of Cole and your family daily. Although, it's quiet at your house, you are not alone. Just reading all these posts shows how loved you and your family are...
CommentsWe continue to think about all of you, including Angel Cole. What an amazing little angel! You are STILL inspiring everyone who crosses your path! Continue to show your mommy and daddy those little signs; that's how they will get through day by day. Praying for a happy holiday season, and sending you all strength!
CommentsHi Kristin, I've been reading your journal and was so saddened about the passing of your son. What a beautiful little boy he was, and how lucky and blessed you were to have had him in your life. Please know you are in my prayers, and that God will give you strength and guide you through this difficult time.
CommentsI just explored your little one's site and I have to say it touched my heart, when I was looking over it I cried. He sure is a little angel. I know he is truly missed, but he isn't suffering anymore. The Lord is taking good care of your son. I pray for strength and guidance for ya'll during your time without your little angel.
CommentsOh Kristin, what a beautiful sign Coley sent you and how appropriate -- proving to you that life and love go on and on and on. It's his way of telling you he is happy and thriving in Heaven, and looking down with love on his dear Mommy and Daddy. I'm so glad you are continuing to post and keep us updated; I think of you every day. Love, Gretchen from Pumpmoms
CommentsOh, Kristin & Dan, I'm writing through tears after reading of Cole's passing. I've been following your site for about a year, after someone mentioned you on one of my Yahoo breastfeeding groups. I have learned about SMA & about parenting a special-needs child from you, and for that I thank you. You will be in my prayers, & I hope you continue to update the site. Love, Analisa (fellow Catholic mommy to Meg - almost 3, Patrick - almost 1, & Catherine - almost 1)
CommentsHow close our families live to each other, but how little we really knew of your precious and brave angel. You are inspiring and extraordinary parents who made the most of every minute that he was here on earth. That takes strength, integrity and more courage than I can imagine. Thank you for sharing your story. Sweet Cole, you- his parents and your family will touch more lives than you will ever know. Your neighbors, Angie, Mike, Lauren and Rosie
CommentsIf each of us during our lifetime comes across an individual who touches our lives in such a way that we want to strive every day to be a better human being, we should count ourselves truly blessed. How blessed am I that I came across three such individuals . . . Kristen, Dan, and precious Cole. Wishing you peace and comfort - The Hedtkamps
CommentsMy boys want to send you their love, and the lyrics to their favorite Veggie Tales song. "Think of me every day, hold tight to what I say, and I'll be close to you even from far away. Know that wherever you are, it is never too far. When you think of me, I'll be with you."
CommentsThe "Candles for Cole" are so touching. Through tears I smile for all the love that is outpouring for little Cole and your family. All the pictures of those beautiful angels inspire me to open my heart. I have learned so much from you and from him, and your strength is unmatchable.
CommentsCole we miss you so much - the Candles for Cole page brought me to tears once again. The Prayer/Poem was absolutely beautiful. Cole touched so many lives and he will live in our hearts forever. More prayers are sent your way, Kristen & Dan.
CommentsKristin & Dan: I just learned about the passing of Mr. Cole 10 minutes ago. Please accept my most sincerest sympathies to you and your family. I have read all about your sweet angel at 123 and watched him grow up with all the others on the board. He is truly a special "little man" who lit up the lives of many. He will be missed. Sincerely, Cynthia
CommentsI was just thinking about you and wanted to let you know that you are in our prayers, and close to our heart. I know you have such an incredible heart ache right now, but you truly have the best guardian angel in the world watching over you. Many of God's blessings to all of you!
CommentsHi Mr. Cole, I want to thank you so much for the rainbow that you sent to me yesterday. I am sure it was the work of you, Marshall and Patty. I miss you all so very much. Keep sending us signs from time to time. Love, Aunt Linny
CommentsMy heart breaks for you. God loves Cole so very much and welcomes him home with open arms. Really...my words are no consolation, I know. But know there is someone out in Texas who has shed heartfelt tears for your loss. I'll pray for you and your family. www.xanga.com/I_Will_Listen |
