    Shannon and Jesse,
    Just as you shared in the light of Cole’s love, we will now live in the memory of that love. May you find love where there is loss, and peace where there is pain. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and yours.
    Love,

    I am heartbroken to hear of your loss of little Cole. I remember taking care of him here at Johns Hopkins as “the nurse from Iowa”. I’m so sorry 🙁
