To the Cole’s Family,
He was always “Uncle Billy” to me. Even though we were not related by blood, the love and emotional chord for him and the family was just as strong. Our deepest sympathies go out to the entire family. May God give you the peace and comfort that you seek.

Family, I love you and keeping you in my prayers. I am going to miss Cousin Billy's warm presence. I thank God for the love He has shared with us through Cousin Billy.
"For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus. our Lord." Romans 8:38-39

Condolences and prayers to the Coles family. Also, I extend my deepest sympathies to my classmate and friend (Roosevelt class of 1971), Terrie Coles Sowell. Your Father was a great man that I met while I was trying to make money cutting grass during the summer when I was in Jr high school. He loved extend his infinite wisdom on us young men and I will never forget his love and wisdom. Rest in peace Mr. Coles.

Dear Beautiful Cousins,
It is with heartfelt sympathy that my prayers and thoughts will find comfort and peace in knowing that the light of your Dad's beautiful spirit will be continued and live on.
Billy, was my, "Cool / Laid - Back", cousin, also, a special friend, and most of all, my, "Brother - in -Christ. We were blessed to share many worship services together at Liberty Baptist Church, sitting on the same pew. I will forever cherish our family relationship.
Sorry, I never made the, "Cabbage Soup" that he told me that I needed to learn to make.
Much Love,
Cousin Bee-Bee Carmen Troupe-Hill

We called him uncle Billy but he was actually our cousin. I enjoyed his sense of humor and the stories he shared with me about my mother, his cousin Hazel. Rest well cousin Billy. Sending love and prayers to your beautiful daughters, grandkids and great-grandkids.
