Our deepest condolences to the loving wife, children and family of Connie Coles Jr. Our prayers are with your family as we look forward to the day when you will be reunited with loved ones lost, through Jehovah loving promise. Revelation 21:4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
Love Brandon & Shonte Batts

Please accept my very deepest condolences regarding the loss of Mr. Coles. While I never met him, it is humbly apparent that he was loved, very much. I’m so sorry Karen and Tisha. During heartbreaking times like this, it’s comforting to reflect on how God’s Word the Bible comforts us at 1 Cor. 15:26, where we are helped to appreciate how God feels . . . about death: “The last enemy, death, is to be brought to nothing.” This helps us to see that death is not a part of life, because why would God refer to it as our ‘enemy?’ As a result, at Acts 24:15, God promises that our loved ones will live again—a resurrection back to life—on a paradise earth. I sincerely hope these scriptures help to comfort the family as they have mine, and again my very deepest condolences to Karen and Tisha, and all those who love and cherish this wonderful father, and grandfather, and husband.

Sincerely,

Mellanee Hawk

Karen,
As 2 Corinthians 1: 3,4 says, May the God is all comfort , comfort you , your mom, and your entire family at this most difficult and stressful time. And, we look forward to the promise given at Revelation 21 :5 of a time when all things will be new.
Sincerely,
Sister Carol Yubeta

To all members of the Coles Family, I send my deepest condolences.

To lose someone we love dearly, brings a pain that stays with us. As you endure this difficult time, remember that our loving Creator is also feeling this pain. He is anxious though to remedy this situation! We can be assured of this because 1 Corinthians 15:26 says, "the last enemy, death, is to be brought to nothing." Our gracious God Jehovah is ready and equipped to undo the effects of this enemy.

Our heavenly Father loves us, loves you, and has promised to bring the happiness, warmth, laughter and love of Buddy back into your lives. We have this confirmation given to us at John 5:28,29 which says, "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out." Until this beautiful hope is fulfilled, he has also promised to support you and give you strength.

My prayers will continue for all of you and it is my sincere desire that you can all receive genuine comfort during this time. Please take care and know that you are loved and thought of.

May Jehovah, the God of all comfort, overwhelm your hearts and minds with comfort and love.

Job 14:14 If a man dies, can he live again?I will wait all the days of my compulsory serviceUntil my relief comes. 15 You will call, and I will answer you. You will long for the work of your hands.

Acts 24:15 And I have hope toward God, which hope these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.

Buddy, also nicknamed Nick, by our mother, was a very unique person. He was a man of few words but often had something comical to say about his past experiences. I remember when he drove a black T- Bird, with the inscription, "LONE WOLF" written across the driver's side.
He thought he was the Black Knight in shining armour. He got me my first car (65 Red Mustang) I really loved that car.
Buddy will be missed. His quiet demeanor and generous character will be remembered.
Sister,
Gelinda (Glenda)

"Buddy" is on the train to everlasting life. He's temporarily in the "sleeping" compartment. As promised in John 5:28 & 29, Jesus Christ will awaken him at the appointed time. My heartfelt condolences to my family. ❤
