In Memory of Cole

Universal Divinity MInistry™ wants to honor the memory of Cole Lee Hoeflich on his birthday. Cole would have been 32 years old today. He is missed, but more importantly, he is loved and remembered fondly. Nearly every thought I have of Cole brings a big smile to my face, which is fitting because Cole always wore a big, silly smile. His eyes were kind to offset the mischievous nature that grin revealed so clearly. I remember our talks and how they always involved a lot of laughter. Even when there wasn’t much to laugh about, we couldn’t help ourselves. There is always a reason to smile, to laugh, and a way to find humor in everything. That’s the lesson I learned from Cole and a part of him that I cling to and treasure.

On his birthday, have a beer for Cole because he always liked a cold one. Listen to some good music and think about your favorite parties. Cole had a love for life that was infectious and we need to carry on his tradition of bringing smiles and laughter to those he encountered. I think that is the best way to honor Cole, a way that will make him smile his ornery smile as he looks on.

Thank you all for taking a moment to celebrate birthday with us. We appreciate it more than we can say.
