Not sure what to say?

My first OB. What a great guy.

As Dr Copeland was delivering my first child on Feb 4, 1971, a nurse came in with a message from his wife. "Please stop for milk on your way home". He delivered both of my children. Prayers for his family.

My condolences. I knew Dr. Copeland through my work at Central Baptist Hospital. He was an excellent surgeon, kind and respectful. I am sorry for your loss.

Nelson was one of the best physicians I´ve known. His intellect, empathy and compassion knew no limits. He will be found in the halls of bigone physicians who dedicate all to care for those in need. He is fondly missed, highly respected, and always held in most highest esteem.

I didn´t have the pleasure of knowing Guy, but after reading his obit, I wish I could have known him. Wow, a life well lived!
