My heart is saddened to hear of the passing of Mrs. Jean Cooper. I worked with her at the State Hospital. She was a precious lady. Was always happy, smiling and had a very positive outlook on things. She will be missed. I had hoped to see her and then the virus hit so no visiting at the Nursing Home. My prayers and condolences to Mrs. Teresa and Mr. Tommy Welch and all members of her family. R.I.P. Mrs. Jean.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.
