Azalee and Family,
Mom and I send our deepest sympathy to you in the passing of Mr. Cooper. Memories of our past times at Philadelphia Church are very precious. Two great men, Jr. and C.Ray are at peace in God's glory now. Love to you,

Dear Family and Friends,
I'm sorry for your loss. I just wanted to leave you with an encouraging scripture that has helped me deal with the loss of a loved one. It is found in the Bible Book of Revelation 21:4, it reads, " And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.â€
So sorry for the loss of your husband, father and grandfather. Thinking of all of you during this very sad time. Gelenda and Gary Cope
Love you all. Deepest sympathy.
Cheryl
