Mr. Cooper, will truly be missed at Mountain Springs Baptist Church of Salem, AL. We knew when he was at church because of his distinguished voice and his favorite response to the sermon coming from Pastor Rampey. I will always remember his favorite word "Yes Lordy" I pray that God will Comfort and strengthen his family during this difficult time.
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
