Tia Coleman is on a journey she believes will provide her and others with purpose. She knows pain and suffering after losing members of her family in a Duck Boat sinking in 2018.

She knows pain and suffering after losing members of her family in a Duck Boat sinking on July 19, 2018, on a family trip in Missouri.Tia and her young nephew Donovan were among the survivors. Among the nine dead were her husband Glenn and their three children, Reece, Evan and Arya. Other relatives killed include Ray Coleman, Butch Coleman, his wife Belinda, their daughter Angela and her son Maxwell.

"I cried. I really cried. I hadn't cried like that in a long time. But it wasn't a sad cry. It was kind of a cry of relief. So I don't know, it was like they gave me permission to go forward. I believe they are in heaven because I believe to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. so I believe they are in a better place — a happier place."

" I truly believe that God picked me to be the mother of three of their angels — my three angels now — and wife to my husband. I believe he's a God that makes no mistakes even though sometimes it might feel like it. Our thoughts are not like his and so that is what I trust and I hope and I lean on. And that is the only reason I believe that I am standing right here today," added Coleman.
