Your hearts must be breaking, and no words at this time will help you get through this. May you all be strong and United and celebrate the amazing life of Steve Cole. God Bless You All.
He was a great and much loved man. He will definitely be missed.
Steve, you have lived well, over coming so much, becoming the man God knew you would be. You fought and overcame, you have formed a legacy of over coming and living life to its fullest. We have loved you during life, and know God is saying Well done my good and faithful servant! Life does go on in heaven, Jesus says he will prepare a place for us. Steve ,until we meet again, thank you blessing us by living your life so well.
As with so many people wish we had spent some more time together Cousin. Blessings
Please accept my deepest sympathy for the loss of your loved one, Steven. May you find comfort in the words written at Acts 24:15, where God promises to bring back to life those we have lost in death by means of a resurrection. In the future He will also eliminate our enemy, death.(Isaiah 25:8) This gives us the wonderful hope of being reunited with our loved ones, forever. Until then, I hope the memories of Steven and these promises from God comfort you in the dsys to come.
Sorry to hear he has passed. It’s always hard but he had a large loving family.
RIP my long time Bud. Thoughts and Prayers to The Cole Family.
