It has been five years since Coleman left this place called Earth. Within that timeframe I have lost my brother my Dad and this year of 2025 I lost my Mom. Sometimes the pain is too much. I cherish the memories of my best friend and family. Gone but NEVER FORGOTTEN

To Coleman's family - I also had the pleasure of attending high school with Coleman. Loved him! He was always saying something funny and/or sarcastic. I always felt comfortable around him. I was happy to see him at our last class reunion. He told me about his illness. I told him he looked great and I knew he would overcome it. I'm sorry to hear he's no longer with us. I'm glad I got to chat with him one last time. I'm so sorry for your loss. My most sincere condolences.

To the Coleman family - I had the pleasure of graduating with Coleman at St. Thomas Aquinas H.S... To say Coleman was sweet and pleasant is an understatement. He was always so joyful, full of life and had that infectious laugh. He sat behind me in homeroom and I always looked forward to his morning humor. God and heaven gained an angel. God bless.

May GOD be with the Brooks family in this time of grief and lost. Cole and I were friends for over 35 yrs. He was one of a kind and a true friend.
