My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort. Mr. Coleman was a man that cared about people, he always asked when was the last time you seen or talked to this or that person. He was a man that said what was on his mind. He will be missed by many. Mr. Coleman you done a great job, you made a difference in many lives.
