THANKyou BIGGIE for all the memories growing up with the whole coleman familly i wouldnt change a thing if i could i will see you on the other side of life bless the family

God Bless Gerald and I always think of him as Biggie from our music and German Shepherd interests. He touched the lives of so many and all around the world. Until we meet again. Our thoughts and hearts with you All. Bev from North Wales. UK. xxx

The love Mr. Gerald Coleman had for his lovely wife, Mary, beautiful son, close knit family and friends knew no bounds or limits.  Yes, The Lord is in great company.  Rest with God my friend.  Condolences to the family.

Our deepest condolences. Mary,  I am so sorry for your loss.  May God provide you with comfort during this difficult time.

God puts people in our lives to provide mirrors so that we can clearly see who we are. Gerald Coleman was one of my mirrors. And he also was a catalyst in helping me transform into a better, and kinder, person. And, we laughed. He was truly my brother from another mother.

It is with a heavy heart to know that he has taken the stairway to heaven. A piece of me has died. I don't know if it will ever come back, but I do know that the best parts of me are those parts that Gerald indelibly touched.

I will always admire and love him. My prayers go out to his wife Mary and her family. Ciao, my friend.

Our deepest condolences and sympathy to the extended Coleman family on the loss of your loved one Gerald, we all knew as Biggie. May you find peace and comfort in the many wonderful memories you have to reflect on. I know the Lord will bless and continue to keep each of you in his care today and beyond this difficult period of bereavement. Biggie is now reunited with your mom & dad he will be missed but always remembered in love.

Thanking Our Lord and Savior for His peace and comfort that only He can give.  Although our hearts are broken, we must allow our Lord to be the mender of broken hearts.  Knowing my brother is in the arms of Jesus will give me the peace that he still lives in us all.  

Lydia & Michael Hooks (Erie Pa)

Death come to all. Hope is knowing it is not the end, only the beginning. Our hearts are heavy,  broken,sorrowful but God...gives us hope. Wonderful memories left behind to make us smile and cry. One day we will be together again. Wonderful to have Gerald as a brother for over 61 yrs, what Joy he added to the Coleman family

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Our condolences to the Coleman family. Biggie was a good friend and will be missed. We were honored to know him. We pray that the holy Spirit comfort your hearts and strengthen you.

"Love feels no burden, thinks nothing of trouble, attempts what is above its strength, pleads no excuse of impossibility; for it thinks all things lawful for itself and all things possible.
 
It is therefore able to undertake all things, and it completes many things, and warrants them to take effect, where he who does not love, would faint and lie down."

My deepest sympathy for your loss. What a fine, loving, caring man I knew Gerald's sense of humor and friendship from Gridley Junior High days in Erie Pa.

Gerald,  you will truly be miss by so many. Thank you for your words and inspiration words and daily prayers. Mae Ollie Coleman, daughter  (Bernice) and Patricia Richardson and family

I extend my sincere condolences to Mary,  Gerry and the entire Coleman family.  Gerald was a kind,  sweet,  genuine music man, and a man of God.  I will sincerely miss interacting with him through the various Facebook music groups that we participated in.  But, I know that he's resting safely in God's arms. I pray that God will provide each of you strength and comfort during this difficult time.

Mary, I'm so shocked at the news that I don't even know what to say.  May God bless and keep you and the family.  Rest in peace sweet Gerry.

Mary, Gerry, Carolyn and the entire Coleman family, our most heartfelt thoughts, and sincere prayers are extended to you during this time.  We have in our memory a truly wonderful man whose life was the model for grit, determination and love for family.  We are looking to the LORD to fill this void.
