Richard Coleman was family. He was affirming and present in all of our lives and was always there for our beloved Aunt Nell. We mourn his sudden loss. He held an element of hope within cynicism, inevitably what we all feel in our own lives. Defiance of the result of his condition, with a firm grip on humor and an outlook for a better day gave us all hope when he would post his status daily. Richard was active in his later years in all our social media lives where he could be and is a part of our strong extended family. Unfortunately Richard did not plan for his arrangements after he met our Lord. As such, we should honor his memory and make sure he is laid to rest properly. Bless his soul and may we all mourn his memory.
