the Coates side of the story

If you knew me in High School and ever went to one of my soccer games, then you know Grandpa and Grandma Coates. They always supported me and my family. Always smiling and cheering us on in life. A ripe couple who loves to travel and visit thier grand children ... which has really grown in numbers ... even to include a few great grand children!

Well, today, my grandfather Coates turns one year older. A loving and strong individual who has been a fundation to the centellas's life in the US. He taught me how to trust a life jacket ... :) and steer a silver pontoon. I wish I could have been there today to play a round of golf, but I guess I'll leave that for next spring. Happy birthday grandpa!
