No words can express the sorrow we’re left in knowing you’re not here with us. There are conversations left unspoken, laughter and smiles that will have to wait till we see you again. We cry for the breaking of our hearts but rejoice because we know with certainty that you are with God. My dearest sister in God and in my heart, I pray I live a life that continues your ministry and I carry a candle for you in my heart forever. Thank you for shining your light in our lives and, thank you for showing me that in my darkest moments God is always there. We love you always and forever. Doug Rubi Ezra Coppock

You may be a sister from another mother, but you are still her sister and she loved you dearly. I know in my heart she still smiles down on you and kisses Ezra at night.

https://youtu.be/8RDUjA0fN4oPics from 7/31/20: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1mMmpmI2G9oIjw2MyTpyupVwbofkBMRJVDeAdera Gardner today we gathered to honor your memory with a pause in this crazy life. It was so good to be back where our journey together began...where we all “grew up”...our “home” for so many years! In hindsight, the years were few in comparison to how many have passed but, they were so significant in making us all who we are today they just carry so much more weight in our hearts. I still struggle to believe it’s true but I know for sure you knew Christ for yourself so today we rejoiced in knowing we will see you again. Everything about our time together today was just so perfectly you. Your sister, Schemar Gardner, did an amazing job speaking today and your friends shared stories to remind us all you put your stamp on this world, you didn’t waste a moment, you were here! #wewillneverforgetyou #bubblerelease #art #memories #together #foreverconnected

DaNell, thank you ever so much for creating and thinking of this blessed way to honor Dee. I know you made her smile as she looked down from heaven. Before I even met you, I felt your kindred spirit.

Friend I'm going to miss sitting with you after work for hours in the lobby talking about randomness. People walking by us saying "Why are y'all still here? Go home." A lot of the times when we did finally leave we'd call each other because we forgot to tell each other something & then you'd stay on the phone with me while I took that long drive home. When I told you about my cousin loosing everything in her apartment due to a fire you & your sister went out & bought her so much stuff. Neither of you had ever met her but because of y'all's sweet, loving, Godly heart y'all did & we still thank you for that. It's so unbelievable that you're not here but I get comfort in knowing that you are resting well with the Lord. I really miss you friend. #RIHFriend.

I was so glad to have met Ms.D...as my son and I called her. She was one of the only parents I bonded with when our sons played basketball together. She later became his coach. We both shared the love of sports, our boys, and similar stances on life. I know she was a woman of faith as she would tell my son and I that we were on her prayer list for our drive or flights back home to NC. Ms. D was very kind and will truly be missed. I pray that her family finds comfort and healing during these times.
