It's funny how we all seem to share the same feelings! Thank you for bringing tears to my eyes and putting a smile on my face this morning. I thank God for bringing Cole into my life, and for allowing me to be a part of the C.O.L.E. Prayer Team everyday. God Bless!

Cole has touched so many! I couldn't put it into better words, because he has changed my life in the same ways. In this constant battle with cancer that my family experiences, we are at an extreme time and need for prayer for my Mom right now. I thank God every day for having the opportunity to be touched by Cole, especially during the difficult times we're experiencing in our own family, because Cole and his family has helped me become more in touch with God and appreciate every day. Praise GOD! :)

Beth - that too, is exactly how I felt. I was lead to Cole's website while reading a favorite blog - I had no idea how it would affect me.I have been so blessed to be a part of this AMAZING family.

I never met precious Cole but he touched me, blessed me and made me a better person. I thank God for allowing me to share in Cole's short life here on earth and look forward to the day I will be able to meet him in heaven. Thank you Ruotsala's for sharing your little angel with me. God Bless your family!

It's funny how you get so connected to someone you don't know. I went through all these same emotions and I am also part of this foundation. Thanks for these wonderful words that express what each of us have felt about this family from the moment we touch the Caringbridge page! Love to the Ruotsala family!

What a beautiful article to write on behalf of Cole and his family. I couldn't agree more. I know it changed my life for the better as well. Instead of putting all my time and energy into working and telling my children "Maybe later, mommy is too busy right now" or missing all of their school activities because work has to come first. I now make my children and our family a priority and I make the time to "Be There" when I need to. Our children aren't to be kids forever. Before you know it they are graduated and on their own and you wonder where the years went and why you didn't spend more time with them. I am lucky enough to know the Ruotsala family, and admire the strength and love they have and share.

It's an honor to be a part of this Foundation - an honor to prayer for others in need - an honor to "know" this precious family without ever meeting them. Cole changed my life and I will be forever Thankful.

This is awesome Beth. I've learned alot about childhood cancer through this adorable little fellow. This family is just like family and never met them. I look forward to reading the update every day. My prayers go out to this family and thanks so much for the C.O.L.E's prayer team for our little one Clark Michael Wilkes. This prayer is just wonderful. Thanks to every one again.

I think you took the words right out of the mouths of many, Beth. Cole and the whole Ruotsala family have made an impact on thousands upon thousands of people. In knowing that we have no guarantees, we learn to take nothing for granted...so "BE THERE" and NEVER count the days but make the days count!! It's truly an honor to be a part of C.O.L.E.'s Prayer Team and I lift up the Ruotsala family in prayer each day. Take good care, God Bless and shine on sweet Cole.
