Condolence To The Whole Family
Dear Koop kiddos and Daniel – Although it has been many years since we have been in regular contact, Kerry-Ann and the rest of you made an indelible and precious impact on Doug and my life. Our church home group, baptisms in our circle, our wedding (with the 3 tier wedding cake Kerry-Ann made), baby showers, other get-togethers… I have pics I can email if you are interested. We are forever grateful for those years together. Kerry-Ann was one of the most unique, zesty, passionate, feisty, funny, talented, smart, loving and tenacious people I have ever known. She reminded me so much of my own wonderful Mom, both in how those qualities were great in a Mom and also how they could be a challenge at times. I will never forget Kerry-Ann’s laugh, hugs and exuberant singing. In the coming months, I pray that you would take time to grieve your great loss, look back at the memories, including both the fun and the foibles, and be able to bring it all to Jesus for His comfort. Love Dana (and Doug)
