And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow no crying, neither shall there be any more pain; for the former things are passed away...
And he that sat upon the throne said, "Behold, I make all things new."
R evelations 21:4-5

No one knows pain except one who has been afflicted by it. No one knows sorrow lest he has been caused to grieve by it. And there is no heart that can bear grievances without the warmness shown it by friends.
The family of the late , Mr. Cur tis L. Cooper J r . acknowledges with deep gratitude all kindness extended during the passing of our loved one. God bless each of you.
We the family would like to give special thanks to Beverly Health Care Center, the staff of the Medical Center of Central Georgia and Hutchings Funeral Home for the many and special selfless acts of kindness shown during our time of grief.
COME HOME God saw the road was getting rough
