Johanna Cooper

I´m sorry to hear of this loss. My sympathies to the family. I´ll miss being able to speak to her again.

We miss you Chani ( Johanna Cooper). You will always be a light, inspiration and laughter for our family and all whom knew you.

I don't remember meeting Chani, I only remember knowing her because she welcomed me instantly into her world family and full on. I worked with her on "One People, Many Stories" for NPR and we ate bagles, drank tea and hot chocolate, hung out with the kids and the "business" part never actually felt like business, only pleasure.

You are in our hearts my sweet Chani--our last conversation was the good news on our project--Somehow everything seems unimportant other than love. You will always be my good friend--thanks for all of the times in Jerusalem and New York City--you saved me more than once. I would have...

To Live In Hearts We Leave Behind, Is A Blessing. Peace & Love & Happy Neighborhood Memories Of Johanna and You, Sam...And the Kids..Once Upon A time...

Johanna, I will miss your beautiful face, the same enchanting face I remember from Beverly Vista all those years ago.....I loved always seeing you in Gelsons or other places around our hood, love, Fredde Duke

I met Chani through my dear friend Suzie Rosenberg, after I moved from the east coast to Los Angeles 20 years ago. We were both journalists and got together occasionally to talk about story ideas--Chani was prolific. Everybody in L.A.
