You know it’s funny I wrote that Comfort blog last night because it
made me think this morning of something or someone that’s comforted me
for a while now. The title of this blog was one of her favorite
sayings…
Let me begin by telling you about a very special person in my life.
Her name was Elizabeth “Beth” Coopman. Guess I always considered her to
be my ‘second’ mother
and one of the most amazing people to grace this earth. Thank you
God! She was amazing. Always a smile on her face in any situation.
Always a joke to make someone laugh. She absolutely loved living. She
wanted to make sure everyone else did to! She because friends with
everyone she met, no matter where we were. She was an amazing mother,
friend, and wife. She was so strong, loving, loyal, trustworthy, a
fighter, a believer, and a beautiful child of God . Honestly, words
cannot do justice to describe her.
She battled lung and brain cancer for about 7 years and lost that
fight 6 years ago today; fighting everyday and never letting anyone know
the pain and hurt she was going through. She was always there with a
smile making the best of every situation. Course she didn’t take life
to seriously either, which made her one of the funniest people I know.
Seriously, she’d make you laugh until you were balling crying!!
Growing up, she’d say things that went way over my head, but as I got
older, I can still remember the moment she said to me, “You get me!”
lol She just had such a contagious personality. One of those people,
where after a second being around her, you are instantly in a better
mood and just want to laugh and have a good time.
So to get to my point, she once said that when the sun beams down
through the clouds and you see it’s rays….that’s God saying everything
will be OK. Since the day God called her to be with him, I always think
about her when I see that and it brings me so much comfort. Knowing
that she’s up there watching over us and smiling.
So here’s to Beth…Live Well, Laugh Often, Love Much! We will meet again…
