A very gentle and loving soul got his angel wings ? Don Coady you are loved by many and we will miss you XOXO How comforting to know that you will be with your wife, Dee, and son Billy Joe. I know you will remember what I said to you when we last visited: that Billy and my Vin were waiting on you to supervise the construction of heavenly homes for their families. You will be busy. Knowing you has been a blessing...you are a gentleman and a sincere friend. Don, you've reached out to countless individuals needing a hand to lift them up...or a shoulder to lean on. My prayers are with your family and loved ones.
