We wanted to thank everyone for all of their love and support! Cole was such an amazing person, and we are blessed to be his parents. It means so much to us that so many people posted their love and support. I truly feel that is why we have been able to have an eternal perspective on everything and have kept our heads up.
To those of you who didn't have a chance to meet and hold Cole, I am sorry. He was the most beautiful baby ever. His tiny hands were constantly being poked from various IV's but he didn't complain a bit. He loved to keep his clubbed little feet tucked up by his bottom and would pull them back up if you tried to stretch them out. He kept his eyes shut the whole time the few days that he was here. I think he was tired from working so hard so live, but Nick and I and our parents had an amazing experience the last few hours that we spent with with him. Slowly he started to open one eye and then the other, like he was taking little peeks at us and seeing if we were there. We will forever treasure those sacred moments.
As a mother I long to hold him in my arms again. To those of you who have children, you know of their distint smell, and at times I smell him and tears come to my eyes. I have had my days where I ache to have him here with us, but try to keep in mind the eternal perspective. Although this has been the hardest thing that we have had to go through, Nick and I both feel blessed to have eachother, our families and the gospel. We know that everything happens for a reason and are grateful for the teachings which we have received through this. We thought that some of you might enjoy seeing some more pictures of Cole, so I have put them up in a slide show. I wish that we could personally thank each of you for your support. Please know that we appreciate each and everyone of you. We love you! Love Nick and Janessa

Janessa,
As a mother I cannot begin to imagine how I would feel if I lost one of my precious babies. You are truly amazing to me. Even though I don't know you that well, I felt such a strong spirit and a light shining from you when I saw you at Cole's viewing, and surprisingly enough, I felt like I needed the comfort more than you did. I know I could never handle anything like this. You are such a strong woman and I admire you imnensely. I know in my heart that you are such a wonderful person and I am so happy that Nick has found you. I think about the two of you all the time, especially now because of this time of year, and I hope that you know how much I love both of you and I know without a doubt you will forever be blessed for your trials. What a blessing eternal families are. I wish you and your precious family a very Merry Christmas and I pray that the new year will bring even more peace and blessings.

Nick and Janessa,
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful stories and memories with us about Cole. What a wonderful spirit to have come to this earth for only a short time but he did so much! I pray for each of you that you will have peace and comfort. God lives and one day Cole will be with you again.

WOW. What a HUGE HUGE inspiration you and Nick are to Kye and I. We've thought so much about you and prayed for you and your little family. We talk often about how beautiful a family it is, and shed tears together when we consider the sorrow and sadness you have endured. We want you to know we love you and you are always in our thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Kye and Natalie
I think of you guys all the time and hope you are still feeling the comfort of our prayers. Thanks for putting those pictures up. Cole is such a cute little baby. I love the story about him opening his eyes for you. Hope you guys have a great Christmas!
