Her son, Bobby, resides in

lives in Florida , and Jean

ate on the farm was natural.
"Nothing that she ate was
chemical or had preserva-

"My life wasn't easy," said
Coleman. "But , you know."
With that she offered a win-
ning smile, her sea-blue eyes
sweeping over the flowers
blooming nearby. "Isn't it
beautiful here?"
She's still the one...
