YOU WILL ALWAYS LIVE IN OUR HEARTS AND PRAYERS. DR.COLEMAN WAS A TRUE GOD FEARING WOMAN OF FAITH, AND A COMMUNITY LEADER. YOUR INSPIRATION AND TEACHING WILL CONTINUE IN GENERATIONS TO COME. "WELL DONE MY GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT". PRAISE OUR GOD. AMEN.

I was one of children bused from Boca to Spady in the 1970s. I felt safer and more cared for in Spady than in any school I attended in Boca.

Dr. Coleman, thank you for teaching my 5 children while they were at Spady. Also, thank you for disciplining my son when he was disrespectful in class. With deepest regret - The Mandley Family

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Thank you Dr. Coleman for your advice during my earlier education years.

Dr. Coleman was my principal and a great mentor in my life. She will be greatly missed and loved.

When you're inspired young, the inspirer you can never forget.
I still remember the 12 steps ladder speech she gave each year.
Rest In Peace.

what a great mentor. May you rest in peace.

I loved working with my Spady family. I pray that you are in eternal peace with God and Jesus. Thank you, Dr. Coleman. I will always remember you.
