Love Always
Cole was a very cute and cuddly baby. He had the most contagious belly laughs. He was a very attentive and loving big brother. Cole attended a few different elementary schools in Kamloops, Quesnel and Red Deer. He attended South Kamloops Secondary School and graduated from Twin Rivers Education Centre in 2013. He was a natural leader and carried immense compassion for others. He was very sensitive, intuitive and generous. We can honor his memory by being kind to each other, helping people in need, standing up for our values and speaking up loud when we witness, or experience, something that goes against our rights and freedoms. Thank you to those who had tried to help him. We all did the best we could. Hopefully our medical and mental health system will make improvements to increase their services for helping people with addiction. The Celebration of Life will be held at The Kamloops United Church on Saturday, August 5, 2017 at 2:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations in Cole’s memory may be made to the Interior Community Services Youth Programs, 765 Tranquille Rd., Kamloops, BC, V2B 3J3.

Her Journey’s Just Begun by E. Brenneman
Don’t think of her as gone away, Her journey’s just begun. Life holds so many facets, This earth is only one. Just think of her as resting, From the sorrows and the tears, In a place of warmth and comfort, Where there are no days and years. Think how she must be wishing, That we could know today, How nothing but our sadness, Can really pass away. And think of her as living, In the hearts of those she touched, For nothing loved is ever lost; And she was loved so much.
