Remembrances
The emotional and psychological pain,
the last of us how are alive remember, how in the name of Christianity, our grandfather was taken in a brutual act of genocide. All that we had, his smile, his compassion, his love, all those are but memories. The memory, the experience. I want my Grandchildren to know their Great, Great, Grandfather. He was my world, my comfort, my friend.His Grandson,
Arlander Ronnie Cole
Arlander "Hat" Cole,
His children were and are, Arlander Peter Cole and Clarence Cole. Both have surviving children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.
Ronnie
HE WAS MY GRANDFATHER. HE WAS MARRIED TO BETTY COLE IN GULFPORT MISSISSIPPI
He was a grandfather I never got to know, and will never know because of what happened. I hope one day to get a chance to meet him in the heavens above.
