Ruthy and Maryllis and all the family, I am so sorry for your loss. I remember Mr. Cooper when we were young and you guys lived at the brown house on Euclid Ave. We had good times with the Lorah's and my family and you guys. God Bless you all. Sincerely, Sherry Blakemore Gallman

Ann, As I told you after the Masonic service; I fondly remember the good times we had in Scotland, England & Whales in 1983. But more importantly some of the advise and counsel George gave me from time to time. He was a great friend and will always have a place in my heart.
Romayne is now dealing with Alzheimers. She remains the same sweet gal she was when I married her 55 years ago. We both wish you and your family only remember the good times. God gives us love but only lends us someone to love. May god Bless you.
