I think about Kole all the time. We went to every year of school together from kindergarten to senior year. He had the strangest sense of humor and he always kept me laughing. After high school we started facebook messaging each other to keep up on each others lives and then one day I stopped hearing from him and found out a few months later he had passed away. We weren't best friends or anything even close to that but he still made an impact on my life and I miss that. I want to wish his family and friends who I'm sure miss him every day the best.
