I will always remember you Coleman. You are without a doubt the strangest, most wonderful man I will ever know. Thank you for all the times that we laughed, and thank you for our son. Although we could not seem to ever get on the same page, I would not trade a moment of it for anything and I am grateful for the friendship we developed towards the end. I always wished for happiness for you, and I hope so much that you have finally found it. I love you.

I love you Daddy. I miss you, I really wish you could come back alive. I love you. I miss all the fun things that we did like loading firecrackers, reading us a bedtime story, and bringing me and Aoife to the big ferris wheel at Navy Pier. I love you so much.



Love
