To the Coker Family and friends, I send my sincere condolences to the passing of your mother, grandmother and friend. Every time I saw her, she would have a beautiful smile on her face, she was always concerned with my welfare, and told me I was in her prayers. I thank God for her prayers, as she also was a great friend to my grandmother Donnie M Robinson. May God be with you and yours, as I keep you in my prayers. Sincerely, Shiryl Y. Williams
