Andy was an amazing neighbor. He was one of the first to welcome us to the neighborhood. We also admired his independence. He would rarely take us up on our offer for help although I wish he had more. A true gentleman
I love you Grandpa, I miss you and will never be ok with the fact that you’re gone from us for now. Its hard, but God had given us an angel to watch over us while we continue on. You are the ideal of what a great, honorable, man is and always should be for the foundation of his family, his wife, babies and future generations to come. I have so much faith that all our babies to come, all your childrens babies and all after that will walk through life proud with outstanding morals and values because of the expectations and potential you saw in each one of us, that you helped us to see in ourselves and be proud of… To be proud of who we are. We are all you, I love you. Kisses Nana and Great Grandpa Cooper for me. Please stay with us all until we come home to be with you, we still need you.
My condolences to the Cooper Family. May you all find comfort in Jesus words at John 5:28,29 where there is a sure promise of a resurrection for our dear loved ones. Our loved ones will be resurrected back to life on a paradise earth where death will be no more. Acts 24:15. Revelation 21:4.
Sorry for your loss Cooper Family. May our Heavenly Father Jehovah Gods promise to swallow up death forever (Isaiah 25:8) and resurrect our dear loved ones back to life on a paradise earth comfort you during this difficult time. John 5:28,29.
To the family of Little Coop,
I am so sorry we didn’t get the message sooner. We surely would have had a representative there from his father’s side.
Little Coop and I kept close touch with each other and he knows that he was loved. One of the greatest moments that we shared together was the induction of his father into the baseball hall of fame. I was so proud of him when he gave his acceptance speech. My sincere eympathy to Bruce and family. I’m glad we got to meet. Your 2nd cousin Connie
