Now that they are the only two people left alive in their immediate family, the twins know that the rest of their siblings and their parents are cheering them on from above.

“We know mom and dad and our siblings are cheering us on. They are the angels guiding and encouraging us to continue expanding access to quality music by helping school children with the greatest need and fewest resources.”

During the event, Nat's brother, Freddy Cole, 87, serenaded guests with his own jazz music, which was nominated for a Grammy Award earlier this year.

Nat King Cole passed away at the age of 45 in 1965 after suffering from lung cancer. He remains to be one of the most popular and talented artists in the world, being famous both as a recording artist and a performer in concerts.

As for Timolin and Casey, they both live in Boca Raton, Florida, working towards keeping their dad's legacy alive by supporting music schools that focus on musical instrument instruction, music composition, songwriting, and by funding technical expertise in recording arts.
