We are so sorry to hear of Mrs. Coleman&singleqoutess passing. She and Mr. Coleman will always hold a special place in our hearts. There are so many memories of when our children were young that include these sweet people. I know she is in a much happier place, watching the bird with Mr. Coleman. God Bless you all.
