I miss her laughter and her genuiness. She was always so glad to see me and I her. I have so many fond memories of her caring for me and making wonderful meals for me, her listening to her Jazz band music at times and summers on her porch with Ed and always feeling just like she was my Grandma. I think about what she would think of what I do as I go about each day and what would make her smile. I know she is having a good time fellowshipping with everyone in heaven and being near her Mr. Ed

I have so many wonderful memories of Mrs. Coleman. Her daughter, Christie, and I were childhood friends and whenever I would go to her house to play, Mrs. Coleman was so sweet and kind. She always greeted me with a warm smile and a hug. Many years have passed since I have talked to Christie, but the time I spent at her home, will always be one of my fondest childhood memories. My deepest sympathy to Christie, Wendy, and their families. Your mother will always live on in your hearts.
