Dear Coan Family, So sorry for your loss. Thinking of your Mother always makes me smile....a sweet, funny, and kind lady. I know you will miss her, but take comfort knowing she is in a better place now. God Bless. Please contact me Mike when you have some time. Ty

When I read in Sunday's paper that Dolly had passed away, my heart was broken. Dolly was always there for me, offering rides when I couldn't drive, sending me cards of encouragement and, just last month, sending birthday wishes. She was an angel at Crossroads and one of the best examples of living a Christian life that I will ever, ever know.

To all my Coan cousins I LOVE YOU each dearly and send a big hug your way. Aunt Dolly was always sweet and generous with so much love in her heart and family was her number one priority! Such a void there will be here on earth but heaven is rejoicing!
