Aunt Dee and Family, Our hearts are saddened by the lost of Uncle Hazel. You and the rest of the Coley family remain in our prayers, now and always. Know that although he is not here for us to touch, but always an angel watching over all from above. Many Blessings & Love Always, Walter Jr, Terri and Bryan
May you rest peacefully knowing just how much you were loved. You will be sorely missed. Love your sister.
My prayers go out to my uncle Hazel, his family. Special prayers are extended to the Coley family, especially his twin brother, my father Richard Coley. My uncle was a unique and charismatic individual, and I aspired to be like him in many ways. He had an incredible sense of humor, quick wit and an unmatched physical strength. I will miss you Uncle Hazel , but I will always cherish my memories of you. Love your nephew, Richard Jr.

Uncle Hazel, The last time I saw you, I was greeted by your huge smile and a .hey girl. that you couldn’t help but laugh behind. I didn’t know you as well as I wish I had, but I know from listening to my grandma, just what a great person you were. I only hope that you are at peace now and that your love and your beautiful smile will bring peace to your family tomorrow and in the days to come. Rest In Peace.
