In Memoriam
In Memoriam to my dear son-in-law, Frank M. Coley
One year has passed since that sad day,
When one we loved was called away;
The blow was hard and the shock severe,
To part with one we loved so dear,
A cherry smile, a heart of gold,
One of the best this world did hold,
Those who knew him well, will know
How much we lost one year ago.
Sadly missed by
Dad & Mom Junie and Ruby H. Davis, Akron, OH

Frank was one of my brother-in-laws that I got to know the best while living in North Carolina. Frank had a great sense of humor and loved to tease me. He was a very special loving and good person. He served in WORLD WAR II. He died from Stomach Cancer and it devastated his family. He left behind his wife, son and daughter who missed him so much.

Just found out from his daughter Becky that he had also had a brain tumor removed earlier in life. She said it runs in the family. That her dad, Mary Belle and Leoma all had one.

REST IN SWEET ETERNAL PEACE MY DEAR SWEET BROTHER....
