Dear Lord, we are so grateful that you have made us all in your own image, giving us gifts and talents with which to serve you. Thank you for Edna Ruth Copeland life, and all the years we shared with her. We lift her to you today, in honor of the good we saw in her and the love we felt from her.

While we know that she is at peace and that her struggles are at an end, there is pain and sadness. But even though she is gone, she has left the legacy of her love and perseverance. The ways she touched our lives will remain, and I ask you to keep those memories alive by sharing them with me and with one another.

Edna is survived by: her son, Bobby Glasscock, daughter Tiffany Martin Cochran, and many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
