Michael C. "Mikey" Cooper

Dear Cooper and Mandy,

I pray that God wraps his loving arms around you and comforts you in your time of need. I pray that you find comfort in knowing he's with our loving father! I know it's been a while since I've seen you, but you were all such an important part of me growing up! Cooper, I still miss your macarroni and cheese! I'll never forget Mike always asking about my "OshKosh B'gosh" or my mom taking me, Mandy, and her friend to the New Kids on the Block concert. Cherish...

just wanted to let you know that mike was such a happy person when he would come by medical center blount. we might all be in a bad mood but he would kid around with us until we were in a better mood. he often spoke of mandy and how proud he was of her and also talked about how much he loved his wife and how she was the best thing that had happened to him. my prayers are with you and may holy spirit comfort you in this time of sorrow.mike will be greatly missed and if you didn't already...

Dear Eloise and Mandy,
You and Mike have always been like family to David and Nan and that makes you family to the rest of us. Now our hearts are broken for you. I wish there were some magic words to make your pain go away, but just know that you are in out thoughts and prayers.

dear eloise and mandy, thank you for sharing and loving my family with yours. We have all been blessed by the true love you and Mike showed to all of us. I can't ever remember a time that I saw Mike that he didn't have a smile. I will remember him most for the love he showed to Little Martha Ann, Riley, Brady, Ashli, Christopher, and our newest little Lee. He probably knew my grandchildren better than I do. I do know he genuinely loved them all. Thanks, Mike. I love you, too.

MY MEMORIES OF MIKE ARE MANY. IT MIGHT BE A JOKE OR MAYBE TALKING ABOUT ALABAMA FOOTBALL. LOTS TO TALK ABOUT THIS YEAR BECAUSE OF THE COACH CHANGES. HE ALWAYS CAME IN WITH A SMILE. THE LAST MEMORY IS ON THURSDAY MARCH 29,2007. MIKE CAME IN WITH HIS CHEERY ATITUDE. I WAS STANDING IN HIS WAY, HE JUST STOPPED AND PUT HIS ARMS AROUND MY SHOULDER. HE BEGAN KIDDING AROUND WITH EVERYBODY. I WILL SURELY MISS HIM.

WE AT MED CENTER BLOUNT WILL TRULY MISS THE RAY OF SUNSHINE AND HAPPINESS THAT MIKE BROUGHT TO US EVERY DAY TWICE A DAY. HE WAS SPECIAL. OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH HIS FAMILY THAT HE SPOKE OF FREQUENTLY AND SO ADORED.

To Eloise and Mandy,

Our prayers are with both of you during this time. We only knew Mike for 4 years, and he was a great guy! He loved Alabama. He will be missed, but he is in a better place.

Love In Christ,
Kerri and Kami Johnson
