LeersÊfrÊtheÊGrandchildren To Champ

Hi, I know you’re doing much better now that you are with the love of your lifetime. Thank you for teaching me to be the man I am today. Thank you for teaching me to let my voice be heard, to stand up to those who may appear stronger and for those who are weaker. For strengthening me, to be able to fight and defend myself. For teaching me how to treat all women. There are an endless amount of key values in life that you’ve taught me in my lifetime and I will forever be grateful for your love and the way you have shaped me into a man who respects himself and others. I will miss you both with every breath I take and I will see you in a hundred years. I will love and cherish your memory forever. Love, Richie Champ, you were our superhero. You always made me believe that you could do anything. Even to this day, I still feel this way. I'd tell everyone I knew about the crazy stories involving you and they all said the same thing, 'your grandpa sounds like a badman' and they really hit the nail on that. I'm going to miss calling you on December 7th each year to hear you recite what happened on that day where a heinous attack took place. In general, I'm going to miss the way you made me feel and how you guided me to be a better version of myself. I know you don't get tired Champ, but I hope you're resting well now with Grammy. Love, Christen Dear Champ, I’m going to miss you calling me the Amazing Butterfly and how we used to go on our walks with the dogs. I’m gonna miss making a mess in the kitchen with you every time we cooked anything. I will always cherish the moments we had together and will miss you so much, but I know that you are in a better place and you aren’t in pain anymore. I love you so much and I know that I’ll see you again. Love, The Amazing Butterfly Dear Champ, We didn’t spend much alone time together especially since I was a shy kid. But I always loved you. You never made me feel any different than my other siblings. We weren’t the closest but I always loved you and I will continue to keep loving you. Love, Jermaine Leonard Coleman Sr. He was a man of many great titles, but to me he was my granddaddy. He was strong, funny, loving, and a man of God. Every Sunday, growing up I always wanted to go over his house, he would let me and Chrystal pretty much do whatever we wanted. He would climb trees when he was 80 something years old, I would laugh and say that's my granddaddy, he would walk to Texas stadium from Oak Cliff, I would think this man was crazy! and say to myself that's my granddaddy. He would make me try to drink that nasty grass juice. I would say yuck! and I would say that's my granddaddy. He wanted the best for all his kids, grandkids, and great grandkids. I love him and I will truly miss my granddaddy, the strongest man I know. Lakesha
