Dearest Cooper Family,
I am deeply sorry for your loss of David Christopher. May you find comfort in his exemplary life and also
with the community of faithful hearts still here. David will always live in our memory and in our hearts.

Dave was an incredible person. As a college friend and then roommate, he always made time for his friends. When I made my move to Philadelphia, I felt most comfortable knowing I had a friend there already. And despite how busy he must have been in law school, he always would make time to meet up or go watch the BC game together. I absolutely am a different person having met Dave and will cherish the warmth of his friendship forever.

Sometimes it is the people who only briefly touch upon our lives in special ways that can have a profound affect upon them. My children, Chris, Katie and Sydney were in the 8th grade church class that Tim and David taught. They enjoyed it very much and told me that both of you were extremely patient and kind to all of the pubescent kids. We thank your family for
sharing your special gifts. We are deeply saddened by your loss. Our prayers are with all of you.

May the loving kindness of God sustain
you through this difficult time.

I went to high school with David. Sending thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.

On Friday night, I went to Hopewell's choir concert at Trinity Cathedral in Trenton. I kept thinking it sounded like the heavens were opening up and letting the Angels in. For some reason, I was obsessed with this thought. It was the most beautiful music I believe had ever heard that radiated and rang through the church that night. I now realize David was one of those Angels. I have no doubt he is in a better place. God Bless him!

I am so sorry for your loss of this young man. Know that you are held in prayer.
