I wanted to share these two updated pic compilations much sooner than now, one has the colored in background and all the pics I previously shared in this compilation, and the other one has both the colored in background and one different pic from the original compilation. Otherwise, what i originally wrote is yet the same.

i didn't get to know Cole as well as many People, yet what i did know from knowing him the little time that i did, he is one of the sweetest, kindest, People i have ever had the privilege aNd Blessing of knowing! i greatly regret not getting to know him better aNd then saying goodbye to him before leaving Seattle, WA, aNd also then reconnecting with him after, which i almost did! his passing is now one of my motivations to share the Good News Gospel Message of Jesus Christ with People in this lost aNd dying world! aNd he is now one of my motivations in looking forward to my being at home with God Almighty in Christ Jesus in Eternity as i sojourn in this world! i have some great regrets, words may not describe how emotionally painful it's been for me since i learned of Cole's passing into Eternity, aNd some of my greatest regrets are again not getting to know him better aNd then saying goodbye to him before leaving Seattle, WA, aNd also then reconnecting with him after, which i almost did! Thomas Coleman Younger Russell, who i knew as Cole Russell, one of the sweetest, kindest, People i have ever had the privilege aNd Blessing of knowing! i have a distant memory of sweet time of fellowship with him as we ate aNd talked in downtown Seattle, WA, aNd as he was telling me how good the food was! i only wish we had so much more time of sweet fellowship together! - RuBen Anthony Mendoza . rAm/"ttl"

 Dan R, Matty... we thought we were so cool collecting pennies to buy gummy Swedish fish/hanging out in front of the Wheel of Leisure. Summertimes...hinted with the scent of Tide and Downy fabric softener lingering and wafting in the air from the laundry mat across the street. Thank you Cole for that light in your eyes that was wiser than all of our ages combined -even at age 10. Thank you for being a part of the best moments of my childhood, and all of the beautiful be-ing-ness/awkwardness of it all. You are a shiny happy light beam of love for this I am grateful. 

Cole was the best uncle ever. He cared for me a lot. He was the one who taught me how to dance\get the ladies.

Last time we were together was on our boat on Lake Washington. We had such a great time together and I will cherish those moments. Cole was a very caring and loving person and had so much to offer this world. I am sad that he's gone and I won't be able to talk to him or get a big hug from him. We will celebrate his life and memory with sadness and joy.
