Condolence: When the Lord took my father home in 1996. Mr. Cooper stepped in and gave me a kiss and hug! He told me it wasn't important to be strong it was important to remember what kind of man my father was to me. Mr. Cooper has shared laughs, jokes and sadness with the Cornelious family. I loved him like a father and would listen to his counsel. I appreciated his kindness, love and friendship. He had an extended family that truly cared for him. My God bless his son, daughters, grands and his wife Mrs. Joanne Cooper. Love you all!

Condolence: Mr. Cooper you will truly be missed. There was never a dull moment when you were around and I will forever appreciate the friendship that you shared with my grandmother and how you also made me feel like I was your granddaughter when I was around you. Whitney and Erin were very blessed to have you as a grandfather there is nothing like a grandfather’s love and you will forever remain in my heart. Uncle Walter, Whitney and Erin I love you guys and I will be here for you if you need me. The Cooper family is in my prayers and thoughts.

Condolence: To: Whitney, Erin and the Cooper family, On behalf of the Cornelious Family, Mr. Cooper was a great-friend to our family and our thoughts and prayers are with you: "But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve, as do the rest who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, and remain until the coming of the Lord, shall not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words." 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18.
