Vernon, Marilyn, Sandra, Diane and the entire Sprague Family:
My heart aches for all of you. Our beloved community has lost another Saint. Hers was a life of service and dedication to all who knew her.
Our families go way back, not only with the Spragues of Lone Elm, but also with the O'Mara family in Colony during the '50's and 60's where our families attended mass at the small Catholic Church.
My thoughts are with all of you but especially with Coletta and Vernon's grandchildren and great grandchildren. Your grandparents have given you something that some people never get which is a perfect example of how two people can love one another through all things. Vernon and Coletta Sprague were and are the ultimate lovebirds.
In this heartbreaking loss, we must take great consolation in the certainty that Mary Jane Holloway and Coletta Sprague, inseparable best friends for life, are together again.
May God uphold you, Marilyn, Sandra, Diane, and all your wonderful family in this very sad time.
With love, tears, and prayers,
Kenny Church

Coletta and Vernon have been close friends for most of my life. We will miss her dearly. One of their first houses, just up the road to the north, was built by my Grandfather Harry Foster for his first wife Norha. Coletta, was at that time a teacher at Lone Elm, and I was just starting my many years of education. Coletta, was an important part of my success in college, during a particularly difficult time for me, she gave me some very inspiring words of wisdom. Those words were, direct and right on. Thank you Coletta, for all the wonderful monents throughout the years. When you get there, please give my mother, Virginia a big hug from me. My you now rest in peace for ever.

She also made my wedding dress. She crocheted blankets and made counted cross stitch birth announcement pictures for my babies. She did her best to compensate for the loss of my mother - her daughter. I will love her and miss her, always.

Grandma Coletta...From the first time we met, you have always made me feel like I was a part of your family as if I had been around forever. I will miss you dearly as will our Morgi miss her Grandma Grape. You were one of the most loving people that I have ever met in my entire life, and I am a better person for knowing and being loved by you. Thank you for your love, support, and one of the greatest laughs that I have ever known. I know that I will always have a part of you with me through my husband, Ryan, and my daughter, Morgan. Be happy and laugh often with the Lord for you have finally found peace. I love you dearly and will miss you always.

How does one say good-bye? I say my good-bye with tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat. My aunt Coletta was like a second mother to me. She gave me a shoulder to cry on when our family lost a son and brother. When my twin sister Loretta and I lived in Garnett as elementary kids we spent many a summertime with Vernon and Coletta and their girls. Our family often visited them for an evening of sharing dinner, laughs and some homemade ice cream if we were lucky. Those were great times, but as we all know being around her was always a great time. I can just here that little laugh she had as I set here writing this short note. The last time I saw her she teased me about picking out fat in hamburger when I was just a kid. It puts a smile on my face just thinking about it.
Marilyn, Sandra and Diane you were very blessed to have a great mother. Let’s not forget Carol who is now once again with her mother. If there is one thing that will always be remembered is that this Sprague family was truly a family. I must say I’m glad to be part of the whole Sprague family. God bless my uncle Vernon and my cousins Marilyn, Sandra and Diane and the families.

Sandra,Tom and Family We were very sorry to hear about your mother.She wae the kind of person I hope to be at her age but doubt I will be.She never failed to ask about Clifford when I ran in to her.The last time I saw her she told me they were brothers under the skin. I thought that sounded just like something she would say. Clifford still laughs about her lifting his hat to see if he still had his hair. Our thoughts are with your family.

Vernon, Marilyn.Sandra and Diane What a shock! I didn't know until 8 a.m. this morningof Coletta's death. She was so dear to Earl and I. She will alwas be family to our family. She has been there for me many times helping me over the "humps"like my first day as teacher at Lone Elm. She was there with the students when I walked in late with two very black eyes and a broken nose -Remember girls-. She was there the night the twins were born and early the next morning with us while Earl went to get my SIS. She had such a beautiful Spirit. My whole family loved her dearly.My prayers are with all of you. May God hold you close and give you comfort Forever missing her. Mary Clemans

I have read the other memories, I have watched the video repeatedly, What a wonderful life! I was lucky enough to know Coletta. I was lucky enough a couple of weeks ago to be able to tell her how much I loved her. Her concern for others was always first. My prayers are with her and the family of Vernon and Coletta Sprague. my peace come upon each of you.

There is never a time that I don't remember seeing Coletta & Vernon at school events. I also remember how they could kick-up their heels with my grandparent's and the other "RED HOTS" They were fun to watch! I will miss our visits at the office; Coletta always took time to chat when Vernon came in to report crop acres. She will be missed! I'm glad to have known her.
