Prayers for your family
I did not know your family or your son. I grew up in Wyanet and just want to let you know that my heart is breaking for your family. You have my dearest sympathy.
We pray for the family in this loss of a young man who will be sorely missed. We pray he spends eternity with our Lord and that someday his family will see him again. Our hearts go out to you as you grieve.
i’m so sorry for your loss. rest well cole. you’ll be missed by so many people.
To the Rinehart family, we are so sorry for your loss.
I will miss you forever. You have made my life so happy and I loved your smile, you never showed your teeth.. It was a side grin. How we talked about me meeting your parents I really wish I would have. I love you and it will be hard to move on and continue to go to school without seeing your smile and happy face everywhere. And when I die I can’t wait to meet up with you again until then, I hurt because i miss you so much. “I not only lost you, but I lost my entire life.” Every time I read I will think about you and how you read to me and told me our lives would be together forever. I still feel your love deep down in my heart even though you are gone! I pray to see you again up in heaven to see the side grin again, I would die for it. I love you Cole and I sent great prayers to your family even though I haven’t met them. I love them to. You said to me they are what made you your happy upbeat self. That you looked up to them and your brother and wanted to be just like them, have little pieces of them in you when you are older. And I think you accomplished that right away, until I meet you again. XOXO your girlfriend.
I’m so, so sorry that something like this ever happened. May he rest well.
