STEPHEN M. COLEMAN MEMORIAL
I thank God for the beauty, for the pageantry , the soulful symmetry of the St. Louis, Missouri, Memorial Service for my beloved younger brother Stephen Messiah Coleman, held yesterday, May 7, 2017, at the Unity Church at Washington U.
Seeing old friends, visiting family and revisiting familiar places and memories perfectly presaged for me what was most moving, holy.
The "home-going" ceremony itself that was masterfully officiated by my dear beloved brother, from/by another mother and father, Charles Homer Thomas, of: Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, San Francisco, Philadelphia, television news media.
The Omega Psi Phi Memorial Service that was preliminary to other program events, richly paid tribute to its departed lifetime member, Stephen M. Coleman, whose two blood brothers Anthony and Edwin Coleman, also served as fraternal ritualists, appropriately.
Stevielynn Coleman, "Daddy's little girl ," recited a moving encomium to her Dad, accenting every range of emotion yet ending in gratitude.
Mrs. Pamela Coleman Chance , vocalists Wesley Johnson and Alvin Coleman, silhouetted the "Now I See," eulogy that was delivered by Rev. Edwin Martin Coleman that also was profoundly, memorable, moving. Even the repast rocked in the basement with fried chicken!
Thank Goodness and thank God!
