Feeling sad today...


Today was Cooper Koffords funeral and I missed it. My heart is breaking and I am not quite sure if the decision to not go was the best choice.
I am wishing I was there.

Cooper is my Cousin Jana's little boy who died on Friday. I can't imagine what this family must be going through but I have been so amazed by their love and strength. They have had an incredible outlook and have touched me and strengthened my testimony in so many ways.

So sorry for your loss Amber. These things always make me think about the importance of family. I can't imagine loosing a child.

I'm so sorry. I can't imagine how hard it must be to have something so awful happen, and hit so close to home. Thank goodness for the Plan of Salvation! Let me know if I can do anything for you, or your family, or if you want to play to get your mind off of it.

I have been so emotional about this little boy named "Coop." When I saw his blog, and heard the primary songs playing...and read his obituary, I just lost it. I am so sorry Amber. It is never easy letting those go that we love, especially when they are so dang young. What a beautiful family he has and he is one handsome boy!

Oh my gosh Amber. I'm so SORRY. What a truly little angelic face. Sometimes words just fail us, don't they?

You did the right thing and you know it. After talking to you about it the other day I am sure of it. You made it possible for Nan to go. I'm so sorry about this and for the many emotions I'm sure it has stired up inside of you. Hang in there and be grateful for what you didn't have to go through. Love you!!!

I am typing this through teary eyes. I read his obituary and couldn't hold it in. I am so sorry, sounds like he came from an amazing family. I am so grateful they have the gospel! Hang in there.
