Age 50

Roller coaster of emotions makes it hard to put words on paper.

Cornel was Cole to us.

He had a big heart, helped others, worked hard.  He could be funny but also serious and get things done.

After the June 9, 2018 unfortunate incident, I used to tell him that he was the strongest man I ever met but after 7 years and 4 months of suffering, his body could not hold on any longer.

His suffering broke us with little consolation of the help we were able/allowed to provide.

We prayed and hoped that he would recover and wake up, that we could hear his voice again.

Cole seemed to find comfort when we would wash his hair, clean him (as long as it was not his face), give him foot massages, play music for him, talk to him, take him outside.

He is and will be missed with no words to describe.

Cole handsome, no one can feel the emptiness you left Mom, siblings, nieces, nephews, cousins, friends.
