Derek Cooper Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Apr. 17, 2015.

I'll be seeing you

I am at rest so don't cry. It will be easier as time goes by. Know I'm happy and very content. Just remember the good times we spent. As I see your faces, that makes me sad. But I have made it, for that I'm glad. We all know that it's hard on Earth. So you shouldn't cry at death, but at birth. I have no worries, pain or fear. Because I'm with God, so dry your tears. I love you all and this is what I want you to do. Celebrate my life and I'll be seeing you.

Even after a year it seems like it was just yesterday.You wake within me, you'll be in my heart forever.Despite my empty mouth, the words are in my mind.Sitting in the dark, wishing you were here.Filling up my heart with great memories.You pulling me closer holding my heart till the very end.Your last meal that night was fired pork chops, you came home so hungry you accidentally ate mine, but I didn't get mad because that smile on your face as you told me how you loved my cooking filled me up.I was just happy you got home safe after work.But now I wish I wouldn't have let you go out to your friends house that night. I'm just glad I hugged & kissed you ever day like it was our last.Till I see you again me & the kids will hold you & your family in our prayers.

My teddy bear my love, you are forever in my heart and your legacy will live forever in our daughter. You will always be the love of my life, I remember when you first moved me to Las Vegas we were so excited and young. We wanted to get married immediately but I was so nervous. Even though we never got the opportunity me and you knew someday it will happen. So now I pray when God sends me another love his character and style resembles you. I love you Teddy trooper cooper .
