I only met Mr. Coleman once when he drove us back to the hotel from our tournament. He was very kind and sweet. I'm so sorry for your loss Charlotte. My condolences.

I only met Mr. Coleman once or twice; but from what I have heard, he was a very good man, and a good father. If he was able to raise a girl like Charlotte, then he must have been a wonderful person.

Mr. Coleman- you have raised a beautiful, strong daughter who i am proud to have as my best friend. I know that every time I am with her I'll be reminded of your humor, great taste in music, and big heart. I'll miss you.

Mr. Coleman was a wonderful man with a wonderful heart. Every time i went over to the Coleman's house he welcomed me with a warm hello. He was an amazing father, and his children are lucky. Charlotte would never stop talking about how strong and wonderful he was.

My heart goes out to all of you.

I have known Mr. Coleman since Charlotte and I participated in Indian Princesses. I remember how he used to call me Lulu (my nickname from way back haha). He was always happy to see us and had so many interesting stories to tell. He will really be missed.

My heart is with the Coleman family right now. I have met Mr. Coleman on a few occassions. The Coleman kids are lucky to have had such a wonderful dad - from what I know, and even more so from what Charlotte has told me. My condolences.
