Oh dear, how we miss our Mrs. Kopper - her smile, sweet remarks, cute stories, and the interest and gratitude she showed to everyone here at her nursing home. Getting a smile from her made life beautiful. Thank you, her loving family, for sharing her special charm and making me a better Nurse by caring for a better woman. Adieu to her and bless her journey onwards. Best regards, Christine Green RN

My sincerest sympathies to the Kopper & Diehn families. I lived in Lewisdale and Mary (Pert) carpooled with me for years while working at the Government Printing Office. She was a friend to my family. Many years have passed and we lost contact but I will always remember her and Andy, the association we had with the family and the care and concern they provided my family in my time of need. She was one of the kindest persons I know. I will always remember her and miss her.
