I met the Coles family through a friend of mine and have been friends with them ever since. I remember the first time I met B Coles was actually out in Piney Beach the same time I met Terrell. They were both welcoming me with open arms and we all just laughed and enjoyed ourselves that day. It was an easy going, drama free day. B. Coles you will truly be missed. I know you are watching over your family and you will watch out for your brother. You are his guardian angel now. RIP B. Coles
