I can still hear your voice and see your sweet smile. I catch glimpses of you in your brothers. The twinkle in your eye- Tanner inherited. Jake has mastered your trade-mark eye brow movements... However, I must say, you did it best. Your brothers are amazing, just like you. They carry your torch well! Your Mommy and Daddy continue your fight against a SJS. You did not fight in vain. In God's name and your honor they spread awareness and are making a difference across the world. We all love you so very much. Happy 10'th birthday in Heaven sweet Cole.

Dear Beutenmiller Family,
My thoughts and prayers go out to you. My daughter is 1 day younger than your son. As a physician, your son's story will impact my role in educating patients for signs and symptoms of SJS. May God bless you and watch over you.

Cole I was just reading all the kind thoughts people have written about you. Some have never met you but yet they see in your eyes what we love and miss about you. You just radiated love Cole and it touched us all. Soon you will have a new baby brother to look after. I know you are watching over Jacob. He reminds me of you in a lot ways. Know that you are loved Cole always.

I lost my grandmother on September 29th 2012. Cornelia J Bower and I just happened to click on your page Cole as an example page to look at and from now until the day I pass I'm sure I'll be thinking of you and your family. I am going to be a kindergarden teacher to be there for special boys like you. I can see in your smile that you were so loved, so beautiful. My grandmother loved her grandsons more than just about anything so allow her to give you a hug in Heaven for me. I hope your family has a Blessed day and I hope you can brighten my grandmothers day because I know she will for you. :)

I brushed your hair and whispered in your ear " HE is with you", and you were called home, safe in his arms, moving on to fulfill your eternal life with God. His plan is not for us to understand. One day you will see us, you will walk hand in hand with God to greet us at the gates... " When our work is all completed, HE will gently call us home. Oh the rapture of that meeting, Oh the joy to see you come!" We speak your name every day, your memories are fresh - you have changed the lives of many. I love you Cole. You were and will always be my Godchild, my sweetest nephew and the best friend Ethan and Josh ever had. Love forever and ever and ever, Aunt Amy

Thinking of You with Love
We thought of you with love today,
but that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday,
and days before that too.
We think of you in silence,
we often speak your name.
All we have are memories,
and your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake,
with which we will never part.
God has you in His keeping,
we have you in our hearts.
A million times we`ve wanted you.
A million times we cried.
If love could only have saved you,
you never would have died.
It broke our hearts to lose you.
But you didn`t go alone.
For a part of us went with you...
last year, when God called you Home.
We all love and miss you so much Cole!!

It's so hard to believe it has been 7 months since I last saw you and touched your sweet face. I could never before imagine spending this much time away from you. I do feel you in my heart, you are deep in my memories. We say your name A LOT at our house, Cole this, Cole that... We miss Cole... But I know and your cousins know, at their tender young ages, that we will see you and play and run together again. You have been such a blessing to my life. I love you big time buddy! Amy

My heart still aches to hold you, my tears still fall, but I know Jesus has given you things we could never imagine to provide. He has given you all of the colors of the rainbow, every dream you have ever imagined. He has given you love that you have never felt, even though you were loved beyond measure here on Earth. He has given you the castle you always dreamt of. He protects you, provides for you and holds your beautiful face in his magestic hands. I promise to let God take over my life, so that we can play together in Heaven some day. I love and miss you so very much!

"Daddy please don't look so sad, momma please don't cry.
Cause I'm in the arms of Jesus, and he sings me lullabies.
Please try not to question God, don't think he is unkind.
Don't think he sent me to you and then changed his mind.
You see I'm a special child, I am needed up above.
I'm the special gift you gave Him, a product of your love.
I'll always be there with you, so watch the sky at night.
Look for the brightest star and know that's my halo's brilliant light.
You'll see me in the morning frost that mists your window pane.
That's me in the summer showers, I'll be dancing in the rain.
When you feel a gentle breeze from a gentle wind that blows.
Know that it's me planting a kiss upon your nose.
When you see a child playing and your heart feels a tug,
Don't be sad mommy, that's just me giving your heart a hug.
So daddy don't look so sad and momma please don't cry.
I'm in the arms of Jesus and he sings me lullabies!

Tom $ Jen,
No words can take away your pain and grief; I can only say my heart aches for you in your loss and I will pray daily that God will hold you in His loving arms and give you His strength, comfort and peace. Truly it is not good bye, you will be reunited in God's kingdom, but I know also that this is small comfort when your arms ache to hold your son. Know that he loved you and that love can never be taken from you; faith, hope and love, these three He gave us and the greatest of these is love.
With my heartfelt sympathy and prayers,

Last night while I was trying to sleep,
My son's voice I did hear.
I opened my eyes and looked around
But he did not appear.
He said, "Mom you've got to listen,
You've got to understand.
God didn't take me from you, Mom
He only took my hand.
When I called out in pain that night,
The instant that I died,
He reached down and took my hand,
And pulled me to His side.
He pulled me up and saved me
From the misery and pain
My body was hurt so badly inside,
I could never be the same.
My search is really over now,
I've found happiness within,
All the answers to my empty dreams
And all that might have been.
I love you and miss you so,
And I'll always be nearby.
My body's gone forever,
But my spirit will never die!
And so, you must go now,
Live one day at a time.
Just understand
God did not take me from you,
He only took my hand.

Life is a journey that creates memories that will last forever. For Cole, Tom, Jennifer and Jacob, we have always been touched by an Old Irish blessing,
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
This is our hope and prayer. May God watch over you all, until one day you will meet again.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Beutenmiller family. I can not imagine the pain you are going through, nor will I be able to give you the words to heal your hearts. May your hearts soon be filled with the joyful memories that you spent together.
