My deepest sympathy to the entire Hettinger family. While I never met Cooper, Todd shared many stories with me about Cooper's journey into adulthood. I could tell in Todd's voice that he was a very proud dad. May your fond and special memories you shared last a lifetime. Sending love and hugs your way.
