Dearest Richard, you have been a wonderful Husband & Father, a caregiver to my sister, all these many years, always putting her needs before your own. We have been blessed to have you in our family. I know now, you really can die of a broken heart, and yours had been shattered 6years ago when you lost your precious Tierne, & again on May 27th when you lost Annelle. Today the Lord brought you home to be reunited with your wife & daughter, together now for eternity. Sleep with the Angels~Till we meet again, I know where, but I don’t know when~🙏✝️🙏

Mr. Kopko, Although I only met you once, your warmth and hospitality made me feel like I was part of the family. Your inner beauty will be carried on through your children and grandchildren. Rest in Peace in the arms of our Sweet Lord.
