Our thoughts and prayers are with Mrs. Coates and the Cherry family at this time. We are grieving with you at the loss of your wonderful husband, father, father-in-law, and grandfather. We are rejoicing with you about all the joy he brough during his life, and that he has finished his race well and is with his Lord and Savior. We remember his thoughtfulness, his love, and his kindness. He helped shape the lives of Ann, Chuck, and Caleb Cherry, and we appreciate them very much. They have been a wonderful part of our lives for over 14 years. Mr. Coates spent seeing to the needs of his family as well as many others. He is and will be missed. Our love and prayers go to Mrs. Coates, Ann, Chuck, and Caleb. May God richly bless you and comfort you at this time. Love, The Welsh Family
