To the Coker Family,
David, Nona, Nella, & Kaye
I'm deeply sorry for your loss. My prayers and thought
are with you and your family in this time of sorrow.
May you look to God for your strength and comfort
for he's the one that gives us the assurance and
promise of an everlasting life to come. His plans and
thoughts are deeper than ours so we must trust in him.
 
My Sympathy

I was Nell's classmate and neighborhood friend in
Pauls Valley for many years. I am sorry to
hear that she died recently. Also, sad that she did not
come to the 50th Class Reunion because I would love
to have seen her again. We have since lost several classmates...
Nell and Margie Begley both have died this week.
Nell was a sweet gal...always a smile...bet she
was a great Mom. I send my sympathies.
