She is also survived by her brother, Army Specialist Evan Cole, who serves in the 1st Infantry in Iraq; stepfather, Tim Burt; grandparents, Creta Vartti of Traverse City, and the Rev. Bruce and Betty Cole of Camborne, Ontario, Canada; as well as aunts, uncles and numerous cousins and friends. Leah's parents want to thank all of the wonderful people who provided tender loving care to her during her 22 years, Bill and Mary Catherine Clapp; Leonard and Annette Cole; Seiter Center staff, especially to Marsha McCoy; Leah's sign interpreter, Janell Chutter; Gilead Home; Acme Terrace AFC; and TBA Adult Work Center staff. We also wish to thank the kind staff at DeVos Children's Hospital ICU for helping to make Leah's final hours a time of peaceful transition to glory.
