Jim & Dot Lamarr Coler (lamarr@coler.net) To all family members, Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you all, at this sad time. Your Mother was a wonderful lady. I was pleased to make her acquaintance via letters dating back to 1965. I first met her when she traveled with Carol to Athens, Greece, in 1966. What a fun memory! Every single phone call to Carol since 1965, has included inquiry about your Mom's health and well being! I will always remember her great love of family, her cheerful attitude, her love of her church and her strong belief in God. I will miss her very much. Sincerely, Lamarr and Bruce Coler Bothell, Washington
