May the Lord bless the Coates family and keep them;
May the Lord make his face shine on the Coates family

and give the them peace.

My sweet sister, it has already been a whole year since you left us, but I still am at a disbelief that you are not here with us. I know your place is a place of love, joy and peace and am grateful that you are whole and healed. The burden of grief has not yet abandoned me, as much as I long to feel your arms giving me a tight squeeze or your tender kiss upon my check, I also long to hear your voice and see your beautiful face. I live each day always thinking of you and knowing I will see you again someday. Continue to be at peace and flying high as you are watching over us. Missing you every single day, I love you so very much. Until it's time, farewell, my sister and my friend, always, Stephlynn (your pooh-pooh)

The Most High laughs at a man with a plan. The paths we walk are guided. The steps we take have been walked. The breathe we live by has been breathed. It is with joy and honor that we know this Woman. The power of this knowledge allows for Melissa to forever be known.
We must decide to dance and sing for the newly elected Ancestor. The reign of Melissa's power has just begun. Live in it, know it, believe it.
These times test our abilities of peaceful resolve within ourselves. We do what we do and have done what we did. Now we celebrate in that. Love is forever for those that knew and know. Melissa means "bee" in Greek.
Bee free Melissa. Bee great standing with the Ancestors Melissa. We Give Thanks For You!!!
(SSC) Stephlynn Sweet Coates, I know I speak for many when I say WE LOVE YOU!!

I know you loved us and I believe you know just how much you are loved...Rest peacefully pooh-pooh...you fought strong and hard, you are the bravest I've ever known...No more pain, no more waiting, no more fear or sickness! Once again, you are whole! You have earned your wings sweet angel, go and fly free...All of my love, always, Stephlynn...
