Dear Mr. Coshatt:
You probably don't remember me, but I will never forget you. I met you over at J.D. and Esther Abbott's home when your precious grand baby passed away.
It didn't take me long to see that your are a christian gentleman, and Mr. Coshatt I know of no higher honor that could be passed on to any man.
You made some beautiful expressions of love and devotion to our Savior Jesus Christ. You held on to your faith in spite of the terrible disaster that struck all of us. You said that Jesus Christ is the King of Kings and that you knew that he carried your little boy right straight up into Heaven and how you said that it is up to us if we will ever see him again. You said it was just as simple as that.
I never miss a night but what I remember you in my prayers and I'm sure that God is always willing and ready to make broken hearts strong again.
You struck me as a perfect example of what christian love is.
With kindness to you all, and God bless you.
Wilbur Florey.
This is a note in a Christmas card sent to my father after my son drowned in 1973. Mr. Florey was a neighbor of mine on Logan Martin Lake. He met daddy only one time and daddy made such a loving christian impression on him.
I know that my daddy is in Heaven with his little grandson Heath Edward Abbott who was named after him. Knowing this gives me great comfort. I know that one day I will join them in that grand and glorious city in the sky.
I miss you daddy and I love you with all my heart. You will always be with me. I have almost 60 years of wonderful memories that I will cherish always.
Until we meet again,
Your loving daughter, Janet Leigh

I have a so many memories of Uncle Ed from our visits to Grandma & Grandaddy's when we were kids. He was always letting us blow the oooga horn on that old car he had and I will never ever forget the "gun safety lesson" that we all know about. I'll miss Uncle Ed very much. He was always a staple of our family. There is a quote that I think Uncle Ed would appreciate and agree with.

"It is foolish and wrong to mourn men who have died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived." - General George S. Patton, Jr

I am truly thankful to have had Uncle Ed in my life. I love you!! Johnny

Janet, I knew when I heard your voice last week, the time had come. I was with dad in the hospital at the time not knowing which way he was going. My heart goes out to you and your family. I never got to meet him, but could tell from the way you and Wayne relayed to me the many stories, he was a loving husband, father and grand father. Try to remember the great times with your father the many times he made the trip to see you and Wayne. And the fact you were able to be with him, talk to him and he knew you. He will be missed, but the memories will be with you forever.
Our deepest condolences
Bill and Kathy

Ed was truly a man of God and lived what he believed. I will always remember him for his love for his family, God, and country. He never met a stranger. Our thoughts and prayers are for you in this time of sorrow but will only be for a short separation until we meet him again in Heaven. God Bless!

I was not acquainted with this fine gentleman during my years at United Chair; but, I rode the school bus with Janet to Pell City High. She was a lovely girl. May our Lord richly bless you as a family. Rev. Coshatt was such a hero! What a blessing!

I have married and now live in Anniston, AL with my husband Alan but I go back to see my family from time to time in Pell City. To the Coshatt family my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.....
