Not sure what to say?

Mrs Coffee was my favorite teacher. She taught me to accept people from all walks of life. I told a distant face book friend tonight about her. I hope this gives her cjildren and grandchildren joy because she gave me joy in music class.

Mrs. Coffey was my favorite teacher at Milford Elementary School. She was kind and caring and sincere. God bless Mrs. Coffey.

My name is Regina Dell'Anno. I went to Milford Elementary School from 1961 through 1968 (Kindergarten through Sixth Grade). Mrs. Coffey was my sixth grade teacher. She was my favorite teacher in the whole world. At a young age, I could see that Mrs. Coffey had the kindest, most caring disposition towards me. I would love to sing in class, for an example "I've Got Spurs That Jingle Jangle Jingle" or "Nothing Could be Finer Than to be in Carolina in the Moring". Most important, however,...

To The Coffey Family,
I have been thinking about Mrs. Coffey for many years now. My name is Regina Dell'Anno Miltner and the Dell'Anno family lived on West 46th Street, just up the street from Milford Elementary School until the year of 1973.
My sister's Victoria, Denise, and my brother's, Gino, Danny, Joe (Peppi) and I attended Milford in the 1960's. We all have fond memories of Mrs. Coffey.
Denise and Peppi and I spoke of Mrs. Coffey today when we heard the news of her...

I wish that I could be there to offer some comfort to Bethanne and Donamarie. "Aunt Dolores and Uncle Bill" (Dolores was my mother, Doris McKernan's first cousin)and their girls were very kind and generous to our family especially when we were little children. I remember when they would come either on Christmas eve or a few days after and bring gifts for my siblings and me. I feel very grateful to have had the opportunity to have gotten to know Aunt Dolores in the last few years, since I...

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of Ms. Coffey's family and friends.
Ms. Coffey was the best teacher we had in the late 60's at Milford and always in our memories.

The Laitinen Girls.

My deepest sympathy and prayers to all of your family. I was one of her Milford music students- and one she tried to help learn the auto harp. Notice the word "tried". She will always hold a special place in my memory as a very special teacher - the kind of teacher, who's memories always bring a smile. God bless you all.

Mrs. Coffey was a very special patient in our office. We always enjoyed her visits and her sweet smile.

My thoughts & prayers are with her family & friends.
Mrs. Coffey was my teacher in the early 1970's. Plus my music teacher. Always so kind & sweet.
I was there the day they took down Milford School, but I did not realize she also was there. Sorry I didn't get to talk to her.
