Known for her radiant spirit and unwavering faith, Lou never met a stranger. Her words inspired countless readers, and her presence touched the lives of everyone she met. With every conversation, she made it her mission to share the goodness of God and the love of Jesus Christ.
“My Auntie Lou K Coleman was a 4x cancer survivor! Four times, wow! What a testimony! I’m a 2x cancer survivor! Praise God. Although she was 2,481 miles away, she made sure to let me know she was right here, and that God gives the toughest battles to His strongest soldiers, because we can handle it, and (We DID). Most importantly, she reminded me to always keep Faith in God, and (I Will). #RipAuntieLouLou #MySoldier #TheStrongest” – Shandria Kendrick
