Book of Memories for John Cole Lang

Story shared: Best friend I ever had

Fri, 24 Jul 2015 04:49:52 EDT

When I first met Cole, we were freshmen at Alabama Christian College, now Faulkner University, in Montgomery. I came to school scared to death, and Cole befriended me and I was able to come out of my shell somewhat and those were the best years of my life. Cole was at my side as I battled depression and we had many good memories from those years and when we were roommates after college. Sadly, we drifted apart and I always wished it wasn't so. I tried to reconnect with him while I was in town for our reunion in June, not knowing he had already passed. I waited too long and I will regret it the rest of my days. I am so sorry, Cole. You were my best friend. You deserved a much better friend in me. I am so sorry.

My heart is broken...Cole was the best. I want to send my love and prayers to family and friends. He worked with me at Lunde's before he went to Bradford and he taught ME so much. Heaven gained an angel with mighty big wings and I am sure he will be a guardian angel for more than one person on this earth.

I am so very saddened to hear that "Cole" passed away. He was such a kind and gentle soul and was so very, very dedicated to his work and the condition of humanity.I shall miss him deeply. My thoughts and prayers are with his family at this most difficult time. I take comfort in knowing that "to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord". Rest in peace dear friend. Rest in Peace.

One of the nicest individuals I have ever known. Cole had a totally dedicated heart to helping others. Cole had that unique ability to meet people where they were without judgment. In the eight years I have known him he became one of my main resources. Hardly a day went by that I did not say “Ask Cole”. I will surely miss him and being able to “Ask Cole”.

To the family, I'm so sorry for your loss. For me, Cole's friendship was a true blessing. Most aren't lucky enough to have many good friends, but God blessed me with knowing and loving Cole. I learned much more from him than he did from me. I don't know of anyone who was as selfless as Cole. He loved his family very much and spoke of you often. Bertha, let me know if you need anything. Just give me a call.

I will miss dear, sweet Cole, who always had a smile on his face, was always patient and kind. How fitting for him to walk with angels and how sad for all of us left behind. You will be missed!
