To my Aunt Josie, Aunt Merlyn, Uncle Frank, Aunt Jennie, Carol and Janet: I am sooo sorry about the loss of Uncle Jim. He is such an icon in my life. My dad's family has always been so vibrant and lively. It is painful to lose another Coe. I am comforted that my dad has his brother with him as well as his parents. Although not enough, please accept my condolences.
