My mother passed away at the early age of 44 of lung cancer,she turned 44 in february and passed away in April.  I was around 26 years of age then. A year and a few months later my father Ernest Cole passed away of a heart attack. He had turned 51 only a week or so earlier. My children were 4 and 2. No one could have ask for better grandparents. Now I am a grandmother, and cherish every minute I have with my 2 grandsons who live nearby. The picture attached is the oldest, Tristen at 14 months old.

Most children have such wonderful memories of their grandparents. I know my grandmother Lennis Smith was like my best friend as I grew older, and the one person I could talk to who I knew loved me unconditionally...no matter what. I dedicate this page in memory of my own parents, Salli and Ernest Cole. Not only did they pass away at a young age, but my children and grandchildren were not been able to experience the love and fun they would have had with them. .
