Dear Heinz Family
Our son, David and Cooper were fraternity brothers and friends. David said Cooper was witty, articulate, incredibly smart and served as a mentor to many of the guys. Our hearts break for your loss. I know that there are no words that can comfort you but please know that your family will be in our thoughts and prayers as you travel through this journey. As a teenager, I lost an older brother who was about Cooper’s age. That brother has always remained with us in our hearts, even 30 years later, his presence is felt. Cooper will always be yours. Wishing you peace. Tina and Pete Bedell
