Evelyn, George and I are so sorry to hear the passing of your mother. You have our most sincerest condolences. George and Annie D. Cobb

I am saddened by the life of Mrs. Cooper but grateful for having known her fir so many years. She was my son Kenny's God Mother and one of my mother's closest friends. I shall always remember her and her kindness. She is only sleeping and you will see her again some day. She was blessed to have a long life and many of her friends left long before her. But now she had joined them and I know they will welcome her with open arms. We loved you Mrs. Cooper but God had your reward waiting for you in Heaven where He will meet you and say "Well done my good and faithful servant. The battle is over, so sit down and take your rest." Family I wish I could be with you but in my absence, just know that I am there in spirit. My prayers and condolences are with you. So May God comfort you and give you peace is my prayer. Rev. Evelyn McKay Moore Tampa, Fl

To the Sallie Cooper Family
...UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN Those special memories of you will always bring a smile - If only I could have you back for a little while - Then we could sit and talk again just like we used to do - You always meant so very much and always will do too - The fact that you're no longer here will always cause me pain but you're forever in my heart until we meet again

To the Cooper Family
Our hearts are saddened to hear of the loss of Mrs. Sally Cooper, a long-time resident of Jackson County.
My siblings, along with the Cooper children, attended JCTS together Evelyn and I were classmates. The times I visited the Cooper's home Mrs. Sally was busy cooking dinner on the table that smelled so good!
Our heartfelt sympathy, and prayers go out to the family that God will strengthen and keep you in your hours of sorrow.
"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge will award to me on that day," Tim. 4:6-8. Rest in peace (RIP). The Spires, Liggans, Potter, Tolbert, Herring and Gibson Family
