Alma Cooper Obituary

To the Copper Family, what an exciting cheerful journey in the life of your mother. Most of us must admit that we don't know many people who are truly full of joy; this can't be said of your mother. God calls all believers to be joyous people and she was all of that.
We can encourage one another with our confidence that God is sufficient and He will be there for us, no matter what. Even in the midst of heartbreak,our deep,abiding pleasure in the Lord can strengthen both ourselves and others. When feeling overwhelmed, causing us to focus on our pain or difficult situations, life seems hopeless. But the way out of despair is through an act of faith.
May God bless and keep your family in His Love.

To all the Cooper Family. Oh how I remember your mother. I was one of the persons who visited Cooper's Corner. I have very fond memories of those times. I lived in the neighborhood as well. I lived on Trenton Dr. N. Iwould see Mrs Cooper and her sister out and about, she always remembered me from childhood. May the good Lord wrap his everloving around you all in your time of sorrow. She will be missed.

When someone loses someone,
we tell them not to cry,
that life will still go on
without a reason why.
If God were to come down from heaven
and see a lone tear fall,
I know he’d say it’s okay
and it’s the love that we recall.
God wants us to remember
all the good times that we shared.
Tears don’t erase the memories.
They remind us that they’re there.
So don’t stop yourself from crying
over someone that you love,
as long as you remember
that they’re safe now up above.


With Deep Condolences

I am sorry to hear of your loss. I remember well how sweet and thoughtful Mrs. Cooper was when I used to frequent "Cooper's Corner" back in the day eating those real good hamburgers. She even invited me into her home and on one occasion I was invited to go to Fernandina Beach with them. She had a sweet spirit. I will miss her and thank God she was blessed to enjoy her family and can now see her loved ones she missed so dearly and most of all see Jesus. Joan, Vaughn and Frank I love you and please know that I appreciate the wonderful memories and encouraging words your mother shared with me. May God comfort you in your time of grief is my prayer.

To the Family,
My Sincere Condolences. I can visualize Mrs. Cooper walking and smiling near Cooper's Corner on the corner of Owens Ave. and Upchurch Rd. She was such a Fine Lady.
PRAYER

O divine Master, grant that I may
Not so much seek
To be consoled as to console;
To be understood as to understand;
To be loved as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
It is in dying that we are born
To ETERNAL LIFE. Amen.

EARTH HAS NO SORROW THAT HEAVEN CAN NOT HEAL.
IF GOD BE FOR YOU WHO CAN BE AGAINST YOU.
