To my sweetest young man. Thinking of you often. I know you made a great asset in Heaven, being a wonderful warrior for G-d, telling the angels what they are to do. Can´t wait to see you there in Heaven. You are missed for a short period of time but we will love and live together for eternity. I know you will be at the Gate when it´s my time. Waiting to give me the biggest hug. Chase got to give you tribute on the slopes this year. Your jacket kept him warm on the slopes. My heart longs for you. Love you always.

Coop...the house is so empty without you. I miss your cooking and all the special notes and things you did for me everyday, but most of all I miss your beautiful smile, hugs, kisses and all the funny things you did to make me laugh. I still haven't changed your room and your bedding is just how you left it. Your closest friends have been over and I've given some of your hoodies and tshirts (stuff like that). Dear Cooper's Spirit Man. Could you get the note to Coop and tell him his Momma loves and misses him and I can't wait to see him at the big gate. Take care of Deborah Kay and you all celebrate her healthy body. Love you son! Mom xoxo
