Obituaries

I met Herbert while he was visiting someone in the hospital, in my opinion I was in the right place at the right time because I got to meet one of the sweetest men I have ever had the privilege of crossing paths with. His spirit touched me then and I believe it will continue to for a long time. I know one thing for certain, we need more men to be like Mr Herbert Cole in this world!! Rest easy my dear friend...

To The Cole Family: I am sorry to hear of the loss of your loved one, please accept my condolences. Losing a loved one is such a painful experience and as much as it hurts please be assured of God's love and the promises given us of a future filled with peace. Soon we are promised a future that can bring us comfort now for our loved ones. When the time is right please look into Revelation 21:4; John 5:28,29; Psalm 37:9-11,29. We hold these promises close to our hearts because we know God can do all things but he "cannot lie." (Titus 1:2) It is my hope your family finds comfort that will sustain you in the days ahead.

Our condolences to the family. We will miss Brother Cole and remember him for his great joy in the Lord!

I met Mr. Cole when he visited his son Bill several years ago. Bill and Brenda Cole have been our long time neighbors and good friends in Hampton. Mr. Cole built a "train table" for my grandson Hayden several years ago and it continues to be enjoyed by the now 5th grader. We always delighted in Bill's accounts of how active and involved his Dad was with community, church, and family as he maintained his stamina and activities as he gracefully aged. We celebrate his long, productive life of sharing and giving to all those who shared his journey.

Grady, Judy and all the Cole family, my thought and prayers are with you. Much Love and Prayers

Sorry I could'nt be there but, Iam praying for you all. Look to God where our help comes from .Uncle Hebert was a good man and we love him .

We count it one of God's richest blessings that our path was made to cross with Brother Cole. His passing leaves a vacuum. His memory leaves a smile. "We thank God for every remembrance of you."

On behalf of the Cupey Alto Baptist Church in Puerto Rico, we express our condolences to family and friends of Bro. Cole, knowing that he left a precious testimony for His Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

One of the greatest blessings of my life was the summer I met Mr. Cole at Bible Camp in Boone. He was such an influence on the youth and adults as well. Am so thankful I had the priviledge of knowing him..A true man of God.

What a long, Godly life this man lived. He will be missed by all. He is walking the streets of gold where he lived his life to do just that. Love you.

Love you Paw-Paw Cole. You are an inspiration to us all and a great example on how to lead our own lives. I remember and cherish the Sunday diners we shared together as a family. We will miss you. Love, Frank

Mr Cole, an amazing man, we feel so blessed to have known him. Always a smile and always a kind word.We will miss your smiling face when we attend Shallowford functions but we rejoice in the knowledge that we will meet again. Our prayer is that God wraps his arms around family and friends and gives you the peace you need.

You were loved so much and will be missed greatly by many.

To the Cole Family, I remember your dad when we all went to New Bethel Baptist Church many years ago. As I little girl, I always remember him with a smile. My mama went to be with Jesus last May; now they are with HIM and wait for us. May God bless each of you and give you the peace that can only come from Him.

Bro. Cole was a very special man and we will miss him. My prayers are with you as I know how hard it is to say goodbye to your daddy. We loved him, Kathy and her mom, Rebecca Coffey

Daddy, You were the best. I will miss you so much. There will never be another like you. 95 years but still gone too soon for me, I will remember your smile and encouragement. You always told me when I was down to trust in the Lord. It was somehow easier to do after you talked to me. Maybe it was the prayers that you prayed for me when I needed them. I will love you always and miss you until I join you and Mama again where you are with Jesus.

"Aint God Good?" we will miss you always..

Bro. Cole was always a blessing to be around,his genuine love of God's people was a very bright light. He will be missed so very much. Our deepest condolences to the family and thank you for sharing him with so many of us.

So Many precious memories of Uncle Herbert.He will surely be missed by our family especially at the Reunions which he was always the first one there. Rest in peace Uncle Herbert you are finally at home and in a much better place. We loved you dearly. Bill and Bonnie Fulp

We will miss him dearly; especially his hugs and smile. He had a great love for the things of God and always what to honor Him in everything he did."Ain't God Good"

Our greatest joy at Lake Country Baptist Church was fellowship with brother Cole. He was a true "saint" of the Lord, he will be missed. "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of one of His saints." May the Lord Richly bless and comfort his family.

My condolences to the family and friends of the deceased. When someone we love falls asleep in death, time seems to standstill. We have only fond memories or pictures to keep them alive in our mind & heart. Only Through prayer and reading God's inspired word, can we find the needed comfort. - 2 Corinthians 1:3,4 God truly understands, for He loss first. - John 3:16 God does promise all of mankind a resurrection hope. - Acts 24:15; we know God can do all things besides lie. - Titus 1:1,2

Our sincere condolences to the family of Herbert Cole. Carol & Michael Warden (brother of Brenda Cole).
