Not sure what to say?

Sorry to hear of your loss. You are in our prayers

Dear Diane, Creig, Jessica , Shane and all your little ones,
Just wanted you to know how nice its been for me to have known your Dad and Grand-dad. I remember him at all lyour weddings. He was so very proud of all of you. I even asked him to dance at your wedding Jessica, he turned a little red and said no, but thanks. He always treated your Yankee friends very well Coop. Much Love,
Lizzy and family.

Joe and I are so sorry to hear of your loss Mrs. Cooper. We KNOW without a doubt there are many friends welcoming him on his arrival at the pearly gates with perhaps a drink in hand. He was, as my Dad would say...."a prince among men."

He had hardly enough skin to cover that big heart of his. One of the most genuine, salt of the earth people I have ever known and big as he was, a gentle man in the finest sense of the word. He will be missed by all who knew him. My deepest condolences to his family.

Rick and Diane

Terry and I expressed our condolensences about your dad the other night but just wanted to say it again ... especially since we can not make the services. We have been thinking about him and how much we owe him for his vision and dedication and for the wonderful place that he built. He touched thousands and thousand of visitors and residents for decades ... he helped create the place that fostered family lore and legends and memories. We are thankful to him ... and...

As a former employee of Amelia Island Plantation I know Mr. Cooper will be greatly missed. Please accept my sympathy for your loss.

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help at this time.
