It was heartbreaking to be there but I felt privileged to meet Coles sisters and son and to hear the incredible stories from his life. After the initial shock of the news began to wear off last week, my first thought was that I'd never be able to face Taos again. I was afraid that everything there would remind me of Cole. Driving back into town for the memorial I realized how stupid I was. I'll come back as much as possible precisely because everything there will remind me of Cole. Sometimes I need one of those 2 by 4's sideways to my head to come to my senses. Thanks to everyone involved for a warm, loving and peaceful celebration of a wonderful man's life.

I shouldn't be surprised though, because Cole had told me many times how this was his home & now I understand exactly what he was telling me. I have learned so much more about my little brother & his life in Taos thanks to Dennis & Andy. I do see the pain in their eyes, but they are putting it aside to make sure we, Coles sisters and Nate, get a chance to see and do all of the things Cole loved so much. Thank you Andy & Dennis, you may have lost your friend & brother, but you have gained his son & sisters.

I have been hearing Cole's voice in my head for days now. I thought I would never hear it again. Yesterday when I met Nathan at the airport. I heard that voice. I felt peace. Cole's greatest accomplishment. He reproduced himself. We are not left without him. Cole is so alive in the amazing young man. Thank you God.
