My last memory of Leon Cooper
I was able to run into Leon and his Beautiful wife Shelia at Taylor Funeral Home ,while he was in town Chattanooga for his sister in law Kathy Cooper's service. I knew Leon he didn't know who I was(because of the mask) so I spoke to him and told him who I was and he grabbed my hand and said Oh Lord yes and he gave me the biggest hug.(which the twins were known for giving the tighest hugs) He told his wife, I knew LaTonya when she was born.( a long time) we laughed and continued to talk. But I am so glad I had a chance to talk with him that day, not knowing it would be the last conversation and my very last hug. Rest well Leon!
Sending my prayers and love to the family.
Sending Condolences to tge Entire Cooper Family of my Friend. It was a Honor to call you My Friend Leon. To be absent from the Body is to be present with the Lord. John and Kathy Kelly-Sligh.
Rip Leon I remember those days in the District Youth Choir. When we had to put our money to together to get gas, to get to the church on Sunday evening to sing.Also remember you and Leroy coming to Alton Park school in Santa outfits to sing to the children.Praying God’s strength for your family
Children
Light a candle for those we mourn,
into a new life they will be born.
Do not look for them at the grave site,
they are somewhere else radiating their beautiful light.
They have gone to a new world where there is no darkness, no pain.
Their light and essence will always remain.
Light a candle for those who have left this place of flesh.
They are free to travel through time and space.
When we think of them, they are near.
When we sit in a beautiful garden, their voices we hear.
When we listen to a divine symphony,
we close our eyes, their faces we see.
Light a candle for they have not really gone.
With each flickering flame, in your hearts they will always be.
Light a candle for thee.

Rest In Peace. I’m sure your twin Leroy and other loved ones have welcomed you home. To be absent in the body is to be in the presence of the Lord. Condolences to the Cooper Family. Sincerely The Family of Rose Trimble and the Late Rev. Dr. Jay P. Trimble.
Praying for the entire Cooper family. Yes the twins are back together again, Leroy directing that heavenly choir and Leon singing Holy, Holy, Holy! I shall never forget our time together growing up and singing in the Chattanooga District Choir. Many fond memories. I do miss them both.
