Retired CSM Lloyd Coley

Continue to rest peacefully cousin. My condolences to the family.

Such parting is sorrow of nothiing sweet except precious memory of legendary gentleman of faith, hope and unsurpassing love, both in family and community. How honored to have walked with you both, speak with both, learn from esteemed scholars and dream unseen visions. Such has been a private privilege. Divinely-rooted sleep devoutly earned is honor to be praised. Mrs Brenda Coley, you are loved. Sympathy to us all.

My deepest condolences to the Coley Family. I appreciated CSM Coley. I was glad that I reached out, and we texted a month ago. Memories of CSM Coley, 1-44 ADA CSM, will always be cherished.
