of seven; and | ||
WHEREAS, The beloved son of Ashley and James "Jimbo" | ||

academically and endeared himself to peers and teachers alike | ||
through his kind and caring nature; and | ||
WHEREAS, Blessed with a zest for life and a smile that could | ||

his lungs; and | ||

tremendous heartache, Cooper Ballinger brightened the lives of all | ||
around him, and those who held him dear may find comfort in | ||
remembering the joy and enthusiasm with which he lived his life; | ||
now, therefore, be it | ||
