Our sincere sympathy in the loss of your mother.
I grew up with the Cope & Heidecker families. I lived next door to your great mammy & pappy Cope, your great Uncle Woody & Aunt Audrey, great Aunt Verna & Elaine and Claire. We were friends for 71 years.
Your grandma Chickie & Albey lived down the hill from me and your grandma was my Sunday School Teacher at St. Paul’s Church. Many years later she stood up for me when I rejoined St. Paul’s in 1970. I remember your mom & dad being voted as most handsome couple & you guys know the rest. My husband Mickey & I used to walk with your mom at Hess’s Westgate.
I just wanted you to know that I have fond memories of your mom. She was so special & talked about you and the great grandkids all the time.
I’m so proud to have been a part of the Cope’s and Heidecker’s growing up and your mom was so neat. When I think of her I smile.
May God be with you all and her memory be eternal.
My deepest sympathy,
Shirley (Zokesski) Isbansky & Husband Mickey
