AS  I SIT HERE LOOKING FWD TO RENUNION THIS OCT 12. MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS TO BE ABLE TO SEE ABLE COPELAND AGAIN. WE WERE OFTEN TEASED AS CAIN & ABLE DURING CLASSES.  MAY GOD REST HIS SOUL AND HE REST IN PEACE.  THANKS ABLE

To the Copeland Family:I extend my heartfelt sympathy to each of you and can only wish that precious memories sustain you in the days ahead.  Abel and I graduated together from Coolidge in 1967 (aka Brenda Jennings).  Although the years have flown by, I still remember his sense of humor and crazy laugh.  He had a beautiful spirit.   I learned of Abel's passing from my brother, Rick Jennings who also graduated from Coolidge in 1972.  For the last 25 years, I have resided in St. Paul, MN. but know that I will be praying for all of you across the miles.  He is not gone, he has just changed worlds - he has just changed worlds.Carrying you in my spirit . . . . . Brenda StarrSt. Paul, MN

Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. Abel was my classmate and will be forever remembered as a true Calvin Coolidge Colt. He has truly earned his seat in that heavenly football stadium reserved for all Colts to give God the Glory for all eternity.
