Freeman W. Coats

Though I never met you in person, I loved trading information and ideas on our family tree. You were so helpful and kind to me.

The Babcock family was always fond of the Coats family. I always admired Mr and Mrs Coats and appreciated their practical wisdom and optimism. May God Bless all of you.

** Carolyn--I just got this email sent to me-- God be with you and your family ** Your Mom and Dad were lifelong friends of ours -they were very special people- I had been trying to send email to your Dad this past few weeks and for the first time -wasn't getting any response-now I know why -*God bless*

So sorry to hear of Freeman's passing. He was always so much fun to talk too and was a wealth of information. I miss both your Mom and now your Dad. They were great people to have known and they will be missed.

To the Coats family, please accept our sincere condolences on the passing of Mr. Coats. Freeman and Virginia lived three doors down from us for twenty years. We sort of took them under our wings and looked out for them. They were nice neighbors and are now at rest together.

I am sorry to hear of your loss with the passing of your father. He influenced many people throughout his career on the police department. I still remember the day, many years ago when he hired me. I have thought of him many times of the years.
You are in my prayers.

Carolyn, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. We have discussed your father many times over the past several years, and we know what a truly special man he was. may he rest in God's Eternal peace

Carolyn and Bill,
I am so sorry to see that your father has passed on. He was so helpful to me in my research for the family. Also so generous with sending pictures of the family. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Bill and Carolyn, we are proud to have known your father. He had an excellent disposition and showed it in his many friends. We are fortunate to be counted among them. Our sympathy and prayers to you.
