To know Mrs. Coleman was to love her. She was such a bright and vibrant soul. Mrs. Coleman enjoyed cooking, fishing, dancing, shopping for clothes, and talking with her sister on the phone. Family was everything to her. Mrs. Coleman's outgoing personality and contagious smile, which is what she was known for, was guaranteed to draw you in and her love for life would seal the deal. Once you met her, you were sure to be friends for life!

Mrs. Coleman was such a strong and courageous lady. She refused to let the cares of life hold her down. She danced to the beat of her own drum and she did so until the last song. Dancing brought her pure joy.

"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass... It's about learning to dance in the rain."
