The Stone Family will depart Coffey Funeral Home at 10:45am on Thursday, July 2, 2020, and travel north on Broad Street, passing by the main branch of First Century Bank before turning onto Main Street so that Danny may pass his beloved law office and “run over” to the Claiborne County Courthouse one last time.
