What a wonderful friend! Our families shared so many memories, so many great times. You were so special to us and we will think of you often. Lynn, Phillip and Steve-you were blessed to have him as a father and Geri, what a great life you two had. God Bless you all as you pick up the pieces without him. He was a very caring, compassionate physician and a wonderful boss. We loved him.

To the Coleman family:

There's a new angel in heaven! Dr. Coleman was always on top of our list as one of the nicest people you would ever want to have to meet in the medical field. He treated everyone like you were family and that meant so much!!!

Gerry and Lynn,

I was so sorry to hear about Dr. Coleman. I know how sad you all must be. I have known you for over 50 years and Dr. Coleman took such great care of us when we were kids. I remember Lynn and I digging in the garbage can outside of the office in Prichard and him telling us we had better get out before we got hurt. And watching TV at his house because they had the first color tv. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Coleman, He was such a good and kind person. I have lost both Mama and Daddy and I know how you must feel. I am living in New Jersey and wish I could be their, Just know that my prayers are with you in this time of great sadness and loss.
