Blondell, Claudette, Jamila & The Coakley Family:
To God Be the Glory for all the Great Things He has done and will continue to do. Think about the Good Times you had with Mr. Coakley and always remember, "God will not put no more on YOU than you can Bear. He was my Brother of the Craft and my Brother in Christ. I could imagine Mr. Coaklely singing, "Glory, Glory, Hallelujah, Since I laid my burdens down, Jordan River, I'm bound to Cross and I know he said, God has been good to me therefore I won't Complain. Mr. Coakley was a well know Soldier of the Cross. So to all of the Family, Be Blessed and Be there for Each other. My Family and I will keep you in our Prayers.
