A mother’s love is always with her children. Losing a mother is one of the deepest sorrows a heart can know. But her goodness, her caring, and her wisdom live on-like a legacy of love that will always be with you. May that love surround you now and bring you peace.
Dear Kopp Family, Your Mom was a true description of a wonderful human being… We have so many great memory recalls of her and her multiple events at school and church. She loved her family and her extended family .. Hold tight to the memory waves that will surely come to-you all. A wonderful moment is that she felt strong enough to go to Heaven because she knew her sweet family was strong and ready to handle anything life tossed at them.. A great tribute to you all. Sincere condolences , Larry and K8 Nekuza Bradenton , Florida
