2001 - Saginaw County

Board of Commissioners August 14, 2001
hear his many words of wisdom which he so freely shared with all,
Psalm 100:4-5 "Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into
his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth
endureth to all generations;" and,
WHEREAS, Although his death leaves a void that can never be
filled, we rejoice at his home-going. In Reverend Coleman's
memory let us strive for the Godly path he followed and remember
him as a Child of the KING of KINGS.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, That the Saginaw County Board of
Commissioners does hereby express our heartfelt sympathy to the
family and friends of Reverend Hurley J. Coleman, Sr., and relay
to you that you are in our prayers.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That a copy of this resolution be
transmitted to the bereaved family.
Respectfully submitted,
Robert L. Fish, Chairman
