It's not easy to write this as there's so much to say. I don't where to start and how to put it perfectly, so I'm just going to do it since there's never going to be perfect way just the best I can do right now Frances hosted my engagement party at her wonderful house. How blessed am I! On top of that, she was so generous about it like I was part of her family. She made my parents feel so welcome and loved, even though that was the first time they had met! That is just the way she is. Her humility and dedication to Baha'u'llah is out of this world! I am truly blessed to have known her. Thanks Frances for being a great role model! I love you!!!!!

Here are two of many loving memories. Many people lived in the Coley home as they adjusted to various new stages of their lives. I lived in D.C. during the 60s - never in the house, but once between apartments I had a night with noplace to stay. Everything I owned was in my car. I drove around for a long time looking for an appropriate spot to park. When I got to 16th Street I parked on the side street by Coley's and spent the night on the porch on one of the lawn chairs.
When I woke up I discovered someone had covered me with a blanket. Needless to say I felt loved!Some years lagter after leaving D.C. I was back for a visit and Frances fixed me the best breakfast I have ever had. As she was doing this she stopped and said: "I don't know if you are my Son, my Brother, or my Friend or all three. But whatever you are, you're mine and I love you." Those beautiful words and the blanket that was placed over me that chilly night will always warm my heart. (Steve Sewell)
This blog is created to document the lovely evening organised by friends and family to honor Frances Coley. It also hopes to post and collect stories of Frances Coley, which may be compiled into a book in future. Please help us build these stories together. Frances is an amazing person!
