Mr. Colbert, whom I called, "The Dean," (of area funeral directors of color) was always a nice, respectful, professional that took pride in helping his clients; especially advising them to save money on their loved ones final expenses while having a beautiful service. Mr. Colbert was a good friend of my brother, DayDay and, Uncles Ira and Melvin. Trusting in God that they are now together in the bosom of Jesus under "The Big Oak."
