I just looked at Cooper's guest book again and the message we wrote is not in here. We just wanted the family to know that we loved Cooper like a father. We miss him and have shared the grief with the family this year.

Life is always too short, even if it lasts for so many years. Words stay unsaid, gestures stay undone and there is no way to turn back time and just redo it.
Living on in our hearts has to make up for it. So in the end no word stays unsaid and no gesture is left undone. Miss U.

Cooper - thanks so much for everything you did for me. I'll always remember your "soap box" and infectious laugh. Well done!

"He kept at true good humour's mark
The social flow of pleasure's tide:
He never made a brow look dark,
Nor caused a tear, but when he died."

Cooper, You will always be in my heart I will miss you so much. There is no imagination how it will be without you, without your smile and caring for all of us, without your "hello" when I call and without your hugs. You have always been our rock and you always found a solution for everything. You always had a smile for us and you helped in every way you could. Especially I want to say thank you for being my rock while I was there in January. You already had been sick but you comforted me so much in these hard days.
You will always be in my heart ..... I love you
