I am very sorry for your loss. I have known Mr. Coleman  for a number of years as an HPD officer and a North Forest I. S. D., Board member. When I am absent from this body, I am present with the Lord. Look to the hills from whence cometh your help, knowing that your help cometh from the Lord. Be encouraged!

Peace & Blessing Family 🙏🏾🥰 Mr. James A. Penright & Family

I’m so sorry for the loss of Uncle Albert Earl. My heart is with you during this difficult time.

Uncle Albert Earl's life was a powerful example of strength, dignity, and faith. As the first Black motorcycle cop in Houston, Texas, he didn’t just break barriers — he paved the way for others with grace and courage. His legacy continues to inspire me to pursue my goals with pride and determination.

Though we grieve now, I hold onto the words of Psalm 30:5 — “Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.” May God’s peace bring comfort to your hearts in the days ahead.

With love and deepest sympathy,

Children of Joe Sims Jr.

Your wisdom and your love will forever be etched in our heart,  guiding us thru lifes journey. 

Your Son,
Anthony

Condolences to the immediate family for your loss. We pray that you will cherish the happy moments you have shared with your love one and allow those memories to live on in your heart. May God rest rule and abide with you forever! 

From the family of:
Leo & Rosiland Bryant

My thoughts and prayers are with the Coleman family during this difficult time. Albert and I rode together many times back in 1971 and  it was an honor to have served with him. Please accept my sincere condolences and may God grant you strength in the days ahead.

I knew Bro. Coleman and his beautiful family from a little girl. Growing up we fellowship at Trinity Garden Church of Christ. 
He and my dad were friends.  After  my dad passed I would  occasionally see bro. Coleman pass by the house and if I were outside, he would sometimes stop and we would laugh and talk. 
I will miss him & lifting his children and family in prayer 🙏🏼❤️🕊️
Cassandra Alford, (Bro. Wesley Alford. Daighter)
