To the family of David Cooper,
Words fail me, at this time, as I was a good friend of David's brother, Tom. We shared an apartment; I was not the best roommate, but Tom put up with me anyway.
I remember David singing at Glad Tidings Assembly of God, in Des Moines, Iowa.
I'm sorry for all of your sorrow at this time, but I know that YOU all know he's in heaven.
