As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

It's been a "FEW" Years since I saw Mr.Coopman,he would be at home when us high school kids came calling and always made us feel welcome. May he rest in the light of eternal peace! I'm sure he's celebrating with your wonderful mom. God bless you both, Margie , JT and your families.
