Halas Coffin
HALAS ASHER COFFIN
Cedar Rapids
Halas Asher Coffin was born quietly on Saturday, Aug. 5, 2017, at Mercy Medical Center, Cedar Rapids. Halas was the son of Kasandra and Brian Coffin of Cedar Rapids and the grandson of Brett and Renee Kirby of Martelle and Laurie and Uwe Vangsness of Northfield, Minn.
He was preceded in death by his grandfather, Brian Duane Coffin.
I never saw your smile or the color of your eyes. I never heard your laughter and I never heard your cries. You never felt my kisses upon your cheek and nose. Or tickles underneath your chin and on your little toes. You didn't hear "I love you" and you didn't see me weep. For your spirit left your body and you were born asleep. But there will come a time when in death, my eyes close too. And I know that when they open I'll awaken there with you. God carried you in his arms. We carry you in our heart.
No services are planned. Arrangements by Murdoch-Linwood Funeral Home & Cremation Service, Cedar Rapids.
