COOP, you are already missed sooo very much. I especially miss waking up to your lyrical Geniusnes and poetry you always shared and the messages of musical lyrics from your favorite rap artist that you would send me at 3 an while I was working. This world truly lost an amazing man when you left us. Tell my mom hello from me and keep her company k. Love you SUPER COOPER.
