I am so very sorry to learn of your loss. Mr. Coffey was a wonderful man and I feel honored to have known him. He brought a smile to my face each time he called me (and others) 'Sugar.'

It truly is my hope that the many wonderful memories you were able to create with him will bring you some comfort. He will certainly be missed.
