When we realized how awesome Cole was on the drums, my husband nick-named him "Sticks McGee" after the drummer on the show "Happy Days". The drums are quiet now but his beats will echo in our hearts forever.

Happy 13th Birthday Coley!
Love Your Mom

  Thank you so much Kay and Susie for the warm words of support. It was a difficult day at first but we celebrated Cole's and his twin sister Kayla's special day at the bowling alley and ended up having a blast.

  I am very saddened by the loss of your son. My 43rd birthday was on March 13, 2007 and I will say a prayer for you and your family. When you commented on the photo of my niece and I went to your gallery and saw that you had lost your most precious son on March 13th which was my Birthday, it saddened me deeply to see that he had such a short time on this beautiful earth. I wish that there were words that I could say to make it better but, I only have one son who just turned 15 on August 11, 2007 and I could not image what you are going through. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. He is such a beautiful son and I know that you and you family will miss him deeply. It is a parents worst nightmare that they will lose a child. Photography is a beautiful way to capture one's personality and spirit and to help those beautiful memories to live on forever. He is a most precious beautiful child.

With my Love and prayers,

Tammy

  Tammy...You have my deepest gratitude for your heartfelt comment. Cole was such a wonderful child and he brought happiness and laughter to all who knew him. March 13th was also one of my best friends birthdays which he spent with us at the hospital. I worry that he will find it hard to celebrate on that day in the future but I am going to do my best to let him know it's okay. It has been a rough 5 months to say the least, but I have faith that Cole is in a place filled with love and happiness and I will see him again someday. Give your son a big hug and cherish every day that you have him with you. Take care...Marta
