Still can't believe you've passed on to Heaven .. how can I say goodbye when it's not goodbye. It's not over ... I'll see you again when God feels it's right and my time on earth is thru. All of us kids love and miss you so much dad and feel you everywhere in everything we do. You'll always be the most important man in my life ... a father's love is forever and unconditional. Your body may rest at that grave but your spirit is always with me.

Hard to believe in 12 days on Feb. 22, it'll be a year that you've passed on to them Golden Gates of Heaven. I know your always around me Dad, when ever I'm weak or sad or in a jam, you are still my strength, my guardian angel forever. Best father ever, loved your kids no matter what we did and always had our backs no matter what. Your pain is gone but you've left a pain in our hearts. All I have is pictures and memories but what good is the material stuff when someone is gone?.... One thing I've learned from you is to know many but trust few. Not all friends and family are true to you. Miss you so much Daddy, please watch over us kids and Mommy as I know you are. ❤ ~ Gina Mae

me & you Dad ❤

I still can't believe your gone. I'm still trying to come to a peace with you being gone and no longer fighting the evil battle of cancer. Two 1/2 weeks and it'll be 1 year since you passed on to Heaven. Death is such an awful goodbye, but its not goodbye, for I believe in Jesus and I believe in Heaven and angels. I believe I will see you when the time is right, in Heaven once again. Miss you so much Dad, I'm sure you see me cry alone and cry in the car when songs come on and I think of you, but I know you know I love you Dad, RIP. ♥

To the children of Richard Cooper Jr.,

I am writing to express my sorrow at the sad news of your father's passing. I always remember him as being a gentleman; a good father, an excellent provider, a graceful host, and he had an excellent sense of humor. Richie shared camaraderie, laughter, and pleasure with everyone everywhere he went. I am sure that all of you have your own treasured memory of your father so I wish you peace in your time of grief.

Please accept my deepest condolences,
