Our beautiful baby boy, Cole Ryan MacPhee, passed away Wednesday August 13th at 3:20pm.

In his short time here, he was able to impact so many people’s lives and experience continuous love. Cole was only able to physically meet a few people who loved him since he was very weak, but he knew there were so many friends, family and even strangers that cared, prayed and thought about him daily. Cole was a brave, courageous boy who had struggled with life for the past few days. Lex, Cole, and I are finally at peace and we know Cole is in a better place. We’ve found 2 poems we’d like to dedicate in memory of our beautiful son and share with all of you.



A life so young

released to heaven...

Left on earth,

we wonder "Why?"

But some are sent

among us briefly...

Some have spirits

meant to fly.



LITTLE ANGELS

When God calls little children to dwell with him above.

We mortals sometime question the wisdom of his love.

For no heartache compares with the death of one small child,

Who does so much to make our world seem wonderful and mild.

Perhaps God tires of calling the aged to His fold,

So He picks a rosebud before it can grow old.

God knows how much we need them, and so He takes but a few

To make the land of heaven more beautiful to view.

Believing this is difficult still somehow we must try,

The saddest word mankind knows will always be "Goodbye."

So when a little child departs, we who are left behind

Must realize God loves children

ANGELS ARE HARD TO FIND!!



Funeral Services are being held for family and friends on Saturday August 23rd. If you’d like to send a prayer, card or poem that we can share and include at his service you can e-mail to me at anitamac@comcast.net or mail it to:

Cole MacPhee

c/o Anita and Lex MacPhee

790 Sweetbriar Drive

Warminster, PA 18974



People have inquired if donations can be made for Cole. If you’d like to make a donation, please mail your donation to us or directly to:

Abington Memorial Hospital

c/o Fund Development Office

1200 Old York Road

Abington, PA 19001

Please make checks payable to AMH- SCN in memory of Cole Ryan MacPhee.

(SCN is the NICU Unit of the hospital where Cole and Kyle are taken care of 24 hrs a day)



Again, Lex and I can’t thank everyone enough for the love and support we have received. The last few weeks seem so unreal to us. We have learned to take each minute of every day as it comes. We still ask that you e-mail us for now, since the calls can be very over whelming and we still spend most of our time at Abington Memorial Hospital. Big brother Kyle Shane MacPhee is still in critical condition, but has shown some positive signs of moving forward with his progress. Please keep praying for him.



We thank you for your love and support,

Anita, Lex and Kyle MacPhee

I am so very, very sorry for your loss. My heart is with you and your family and baby Kyle, and, of course, sweet baby Cole.

Please accept my condolences; I can't imagine what you must be going through right now.

I am so sorry for your loss. My heart is breaking for you and your family right now. You are going through so much I can't imagine.

It's nice to hear that Baby Kyle is over 2 #'s now and is refered to as Rocky!!! ( I saw that on the Nov thread!) I think he might just have a guardian angel looking out for him.

Blessings!

While I cannot imagine the pain you and your family must be dealing with I have to tell you how touched I was by your description of the short life of your precious angel Cole. I wish good health for little Kyle and strength for you and your family. Keep us posted on his progress and remember each day is a victory.
