What an amazing man!!! He will deeply missed by so many. It's funny how 84 years could still seem so short. I'd like to thank God for giving Mr. Kermit to us. He's touched the lives of so many with his jolly laugh and wonderful spirit. I've been trying to leave a message, but the tears that fill my eyes will not allow me to do so. Ms. Neva, I'm wishing the best for you and your family during this difficult time. Love you Mr. Kermit!!! Lee Lee and family

PawPaw Kermit made a definite impression on his 7 year old great-granddaughter. Paige will miss him and his fireworks for the holidays. She told me that he was always so nice to her, which I have NO doubt about! Prayers to the entire Coulon family. God has a new angel watching over y'all.
