Mrs. Coppess has always stood out in my memory as a kid as one of the best sunday school teachers. I really felt like she understood us kids better than almost anyone, and I loved her ways of making lesson times totally unique, fun, and learnable. I know that she has had a great impact on more lives than mine and although she will be missed, I am so, so glad that she spent her life glorifying God and that she is no longer suffering.##imported-begin##Susanne Tompkins##imported-end##

Margaret was one of my best friends in high school. Though we have not stayed in touch, I have wonderful memories of our friendship and fun together at Clover Park.
Though I no longer live in Washington, my sister who lives in Puyallup let me know about Margaret. I am sad not to have kept up with her, as she sounds like an amazing woman!

Dear Dale and family:
My condolences and prayers are with you and your family following the loss of your wife, mother and friend.
I met Margaret when we were young school children at John Dower Elementary School in Lakewood. Thereafter we shared our school lives at Lochburn Junior High School and Clover Park High School, both of us graduating in 1973.
I remember Margaret as a wonderful and extremely kind human being. I'm glad that she touched my life.
As a breast cancer survivor I will be participating in La Grande's Relay-for-Life this spring and I will light a candle for Margaret.
God Bless you!##imported-begin##Kathryn Jordon Gregersen##imported-end##
To Mike and his family. I know you and your brother will greatly miss your sister Margaret. You lost your Mother not long ago. I believe truly that they are together in Heaven. The Lord called Margaret too early in life. She was here doing his work and there are not enough people like her. Mike when you miss her the most look up in the sky. It will never be enough, but I know you will see her smiling. My sincere sympathy Karon##imported-begin##karon van gilder##imported-end##
Dear Dale, Elizabeth and Karen,
Your wife and mother made an indelible mark on the children’s program at Eastridge. She was and is greatly admired by everyone at our Church, forever blessed by her ministry,
Right now we can only imagine what she is seeing, feeling and experiencing. She undoubtedly had barely enough time to notice the wholeness her new body, because what she is taking in is too overwhelming, filling her with wonder, joy and fulfillment. As she is in the presence of her Savior, she sees not only the results of the many children that came to Christ through her ministry, but the many more who yet will due to her influence.
God bless and look forward to the time when you will be re-joined.##imported-begin##Tom and Kay Bingham##imported-end##
Dear Dale, Marie, and Karen,
Thank you for letting us into your lives during this time of grieving for the loss of Margret. Over the years she has impressed us with her incredable tenacity regarding everything in her life. The whole of Saturday (the graveside as well as the memorial service) was a beautiful expression of love for her and your Lord Jesus Christ. We, Tom and I, embrace you with our love and prayers. Your not alone. Our Savior now has opportunity to fill your void with more of Himself, not as a replacement for Margret but rather as a Companion along side. You are dearly loved.
In Christ,
Tom and Penny Hoyle##imported-begin##Tom and Penny Hoyle##imported-end##

I have fond memories of your mom when you, me and Cathy would sing at your house. She always had quietness, grace and peace surrounding her and she was a joy to be with.
May God's peace and strength be with you in your time of loss.
