Another BBQ is in the memory books. It was a great day celebrating our son’s life. It is such a special day for us Kims because it is a way to throw our son a party every year and buy him balloons and just have a great time. This year we decided to include the Run for Children’s as part of our BBQ kickoff. The BBQ alone raised $2,710 so far and our Team Cooper raised $2,595 for the Covey Run for Children’s. We are so lucky to have such wonderful friends and family that care so much about us and our Cooper.
See everyone next year! Cooper, we love you and miss you. I hope you are proud of your family and friends.
Kelly, Scott, Cooper and Bradyn

We miss you baby Cooper. We miss your crazy hair, your spunky personality and how much you showed your love to us. You were always the calm one in our room at Children’s. You were the one that reassured mommy and daddy that you were fighting hard. You are our hero, our sunshine, our son.
We love you so much. Until we meet again my Baby.
Love, Mommy & Daddy

His Cute little feet have become the Guild’s Logo.
Cooper is known to us as our Sunshine and he certainly was shining down on his first official Guild event. 
The BBQ was a healing experiance for Scott and I. 
Tank The Official Guild Mascot. Tank even held onto a balloon in his mouth and released it when all the kids released balloons for Cooper.
We want to Thank EVERYONE for supporting Scott, Kelly and The Heart of Cooper Joe Guild throughout the past 10 months. It is healing for us to gather all of our friends and family to remember our beautiful son and we hope that we will many more successful events for many years to come.
One idea was given to us for another event that has Cooper’s name written all over it…..A PUB crawl. Hmmmmm….. I think like Father, like Son.

Scott and I want to give a huge thanks to our family and friends for all the donations we received to The Heart of Cooper Joe Guild. We raised enough money that in return, Cooper’s name is now on the Hospital Walls. His name was placed a few weeks ago and I had a chance to see it last week. (2nd from top) It means so much to all of us. Children’s will always be Cooper’s home and knowing that because of him, other children will get a chance to get well and be discharged to go home.

TO FEEL CLOSER TO YOU
When I awake I say Good Morning, My Baby
To Feel Closer to You
When I drive in the car, I sing to you the ABC’s
To Feel Closer to You
When I walk into your room, I sit and read you a story
To Feel Closer to You
I kiss your Daddy on the cheek and pause
To Feel Closer to You
I wash with your baby soap and use your baby lotion
To Feel Closer to You
I sometimes hold out my finger in the air for you to hold
To Feel Closer to You
I brave the toy isle at the store to buy you new toys
To Feel Closer to You
I sit in front of the NICU entrance even to this day
To Feel Closer to You
I speak with your nurses and surgeons when I visit Children’s
To Feel Closer to You
I plan for your birthday party and fundraisers
To Feel Closer to You
When I go to sleep at night I say, Good Night, My Baby
And it is then that I feel closest to you
I am one more day closer to being with you
