SONGS It is Well With My Soul When peace like a river attendeth my way, When sorrows like sea billows roll; Whatever my lot Thou hast taught me to say, “It is well, it is well with my soul!”

It is well with my soul!

It is well, it is well with my soul!

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come, Let this blest assurance control, That Christ hath regarded my helpless estate, And hath shed His own blood for my soul.

I’ll Fly Away Some glad morning when this life is over I’ll fly away To a home on God’s celestial shore I’ll fly away I’ll fly away, oh, Glory I’ll fly away When I die, Hallelujah, by and by I’ll fly away Just a few more weary days and then I’ll fly away To a land where joy shall never end I’ll fly away I’ll fly away, oh, Glory I’ll fly away When I die, Hallelujah, by and by I’ll fly away Yeah, when I die, Hallelujah, by and by I’ll fly away

It is well with my soul!

It is well, it is well with my soul!

My sin—oh, the bliss of this glorious thought— My sin, not in part, but the whole, Is nailed to His Cross, and I bear it no more; Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

It is well with my soul!

It is well, it is well with my soul!

Jeson Cooper’s journey began in the Bahamas, where he was born to his biological mother, Yvonne Edwards. In a moment of profound love, his mother’s best friend, Elaine Edwards (Bunny), delivered Jeson into the world and instantly knew she would cherish him for life. When Yvonne and Jeson moved to Miami with Bunny, her husband Leroy, and their children, they formed a close-knit family. Tragically, Yvonne passed away when Jeson was just eight years old, but Bunny stepped in without hesitation, providing the nurturing love that he so desperately needed.

As Jeson grew into a young man, Bunny ensured he had the support he needed.

She encouraged him through school and took him to church along with his siblings.

After graduating high school, Jeson embarked on a career as a barber - a trade that allowed him to express his creativity and passion.

In the barber shop, Jeson did more than just craft stylish haircuts; he fostered a sense of community. Each client who sat in his chair left feeling valued, not just for their new look but for the connection they shared with him. Jeson had a remarkable ability to listen to people’s stories, turning a simple haircut into a moment of joy and understanding.

His kindness extended far beyond his clients. Jeson shared a special bond with Bunny, dedicating time each day to helping her with errands, sharing meals, and simply being present for her. His love for his Auntie Bunny was evident in every small gesture, showcasing his deep understanding of the importance of family.

Jeson’s life was a testament to the values of service and love. He taught us the significance of caring for one another, even amidst the busyness of life. His laughter and warmth will be profoundly missed, but his spirit lives on in the countless lives he touched.

Jeson leaves behind adoptive parents - Elaine (Bunny) and Leroy Edwards; siblings - Leroy, Carl, Winston, Michael, Richard, Charmaine, Judith, and Angela; aunt and uncle – Lorna & Gerald Johnson; nieces, nephews, cousins and many other relatives and friends.

As we remember Jeson today, let us honor his legacy by embodying his kindness, compassion, and sense of community. May we reach out to those around us, just as he always did.

THANK YOU We are immensely thankful for the overwhelming prayers, love, and support following the sudden loss of our beloved Jeson Cooper. Your comforting presence, heartfelt words, and thoughtful gestures have truly meant the world to us during this challenging time.

As we journey through this grief, we find peace in knowing how deeply Jeson touched the lives of so many. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being there for us. Your kindness has been a source of great comfort.

Kind Regards and Blessings, The Edwards Family

When dawn breaks the reality is clear No more with us is our loved one dear Forever… a long time to be apart Forever… left with a broken heart

WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME DAVID ROMANO

When tomorrow starts without me And I’m not here to see If the sun should rise and find your eyes All filled with tears for me I wish you wouldn’t cry The way you did today While thinking of the many things We did not get to say I know how much you love me As much as I love you Each time that you think of me I know you will miss me too When tomorrow starts without me Please try to understand That an angel came and called my name And took me by the hand

“…Do not sorrow, for the joy of the Lord is your strength” (Nehemiah 8:10)
