"Mr Coffey was one of my residents at Craighead Nursing Center. I enjoyed him, we cut up and laughed and had fun. Most of his days there were very good, a couple of hard ones now and then.But we got thru them. We will miss him, even today it just didn't seem right without him.We will truly miss him.

"I met Les while visiting with my mother at CNC. He always had a smile for me. I made it a point to speak with him. I lost my mother 3 weeks ago and as hard as it is to give them up in our hearts, we can have assurance that they are now at peace. May God be with you and your family.
