To the Coffey Family,
I am so sorry I did not learn of Frank's funeral arrangements until this morning. I would have loved to have been there to celebrate his life. I have a lot of good memories with Frank and really think he gave me my hard work ethic that has helped contribute to my success. He was always good to me and I will always appreciate and respect him.
