Dear Uncle Jerry and Matthew,
I was sad to hear the news; I'm sorry for your loss. Aunt Coke was a caring and thoughtful aunt, and I'm proud to have the same name! I'll always remember summers spent at your pool and holidays shared together. You're in my thoughts. Take good care of yourselves during this difficult time.

Uncle Jerry and Matthew,

I am saddened to hear of Aunt Coke's passing. I have many fond childhood memories of her. Swimming in the backyard pool, birthday parties, Fourth of July parties, green Kool Aid and peanut butter cake just to name a few. She was a sweet lady who will be missed.

I will keep you both in my thoughts and prayers.

With Sympathy,

Natalie (Colella) Timmons and Family

Jerry, Matt and Family:

I am so sad to hear of your loss. I remember Aunt Coke’s humor, kindness, and capacity for love. She had a way of making me feel very special, and I appreciate those memories very much. Like her nickname, she was effervescent and sweet. I am privileged to have been influenced by her. You and your family are in my thoughts.

To one of my best friends in the world, who will ALWAYS be my "bosom buddy, close friend, and lifelong pal", Matt--I am deeply sorry to read of your loss. Our hearts go out to you and Cathy. Your mom is no longer suffering, and is at peace, and you can be at peace, knowing that you mom was fully aware of all of the joy Cathy has brought into your life. I have known your mom for a very long time, and she was a sweet and kind lady. Mr. Englert, your wife was a beautiful person, and our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your entire family. I grew up with Matt, and we have had many good times going from house to house, and I have many fond memories of Mrs. Englert.

God bless all of you, and much love from Patti (Lane) Gray and Aaron Gray
