Re: Cooper McKinnon

Thanks for sharing your memories Nick. I imagine that you lost a few tears in the process. It's a reminder of how lucky we all are. I thought I would let you know that on the link I posted on facebook, I added the following:
Quote:
"It makes me so sad to see people like Cooper who have their whole life ahead of them use this option. If any of you feel like this, I want to let you know I'm here for you so message me and everything will stay between you and I. You do matter!"
If more people reminded their friends of how much they do matter and mean to them, we would have a lot more of them still here today.

I think it's safe to say that the whole FIRST community is mourning your loss and his teams loss.

I want to leave you with the thought that now he's up there, he has unlimited time to be designing and building robots up there that we can only dream of.
-David
