Mrs. Coleman and family you have my deepest sympathy. You both have always been my extended family and it was a joy being your next door neighbor. Me and my siblings never missed a Sunday at church as you made sure we piled up in your car. The love and care you provided to Grandma Pearl was amazing and I will forever be grateful to you. You kept the faith, you have finished your race so now you take your rest. I love you all very much and will be praying for you.
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
