You were a dear friend to all who knew you, including me. My memories go back to when we first met in Monroe. You will be missed. Love, Frankie

I am pleased to have known Mrs Coombs since 1961. She had soooo much class and always a great positive smile. She is a generation of what my grandmother would call a true lady. Fortunately my son was able to know her as well at West Torrance High School from 2002-2007. She was always so kind to him and the other students at Victor and West. Anyone that can be kind to teenagers is truly a special person. She was a great encouragement to me in my raising of our son who like Brad is an only child. I will miss her smile and her warm kindness. May her memory be eternal!!! God Bless
