Mr. Coleman was a wonderful man and a dear friend of my mother and father. I remember spending time at the Coleman's and running around in the basement and messing with the pool table. He was always gracious and had a great laugh. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of his family and to Mrs. Coleman who stood by him until the end.

"It will be the little things
that you will remember,
the quiet moments,
the smiles, the laughter.
And although it may seem
hard right now,
it will be the memories
of these little things
that help to push
away the pain
and bring the smiles
back again".
