Kelly and Katie, I learned just today of your mother's passing, and am truly sorry I wasn't able to attend her services. She was a fine and supportive woman, just as Mr. Coghlan was a very fine man. I'm so blessed to have known both of them. During my years at Kilgore College, and beyond, I shared a friendship with Dr. Coghlan. One of the delights of my young life was the chance I had to drive her brand new, white, 1975 Cadillac Coupe de Ville from the college campus to have lunch one day. I couldn't believe she'd let a nineteen-year-old drive that new car that day! Decades later, at Anne and John Turk's one afternoon, Dr. Coghlan said she could hardly believe she'd let me! That was so much like the humor your mother had. In the years after Mr. Turk's death, your mom and dad invited Anne to their home for many holiday meals, as I'm sure you'll recall; that was very much in their nature. When I developed a slowly progressive disease that took away my ability to walk, and needed to go to Methodist Hospital in Houston, Dr. Coghlan most graciously asked if she and Mr. Coghlan could do anything to defray the costs. I was most grateful to them for their kind offer. You are both so very blessed to have had such fine parents, and many, many of us all over Texas are blessed to have known both Coghlans. Please know that an old friend wishes you and your families only good days ahead, and thank you for sharing your parents with us all these years. God bless you. Rick Parrish, Tyler, TX
