Mrs. Coley,

Please accept my family's most heartfelt sympathy for the loss of your beloved husband, James. While I never met Mr. Coley, given the most wonderful and absolutely Christlike actions in word and deed my late father (God Rest His Soul), mother and siblings have relayed to me in past years, I felt like I knew your husband well.
In the finality, I couldn't say it any better than my brother, George has already stated! May the Heavenly Father give you solace in knowing that your loved one is now "home!"

In Christ's Name Always!
Bob, Girls and Zack
