    Her Story

    [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]

    It is with profound sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved daughter, Promise Michelle Cooper, and her precious unborn daughter, Miracle Michelle Marie. Promise was a radiant soul whose deep spirituality, love, and kindness touched everyone around her. Though her time on earth was far too short, her legacy of faith and love will live on through the memory of her and the daughter she carried.

    Promise was loving, compassionate, and wise beyond her years. She had a profound connection to her faith and found joy in prayer, meditation, or serving others. Her love for God and her spiritual journey inspired those around her to seek meaning, kindness, and grace in their own lives. She was eagerly anticipating the arrival of her daughter, Miracle Michelle Marie, who was already deeply loved and cherished.

    Miracle Michelle Marie, though never held in our arms, will forever be held in our hearts. She was a symbol of hope, love, and the beautiful future Promise dreamed of. Together, Promise and Miracle brought light and love into our lives, and their memory will continue to guide us.

    Promise and Miracle will deeply be missed by her father, Timothy L. Cooper, mother, Tia M. Cooper, brothers, Jessie J. Holmes, Jaware A. Holmes, Marcell D. Holmes, Jacques D. Collins, TaShon J. Cooper and Latrell K. Cooper; sisters, Coralisha A. Cooper, Shontia R. Cooper and her aunt Kari Entenmann, Coleen Brock, Shareta Cooper; uncles, Ty Tucker, Arlo Entenmann, Jeremy Sheltra, Chris Sheltra; grandparents, Karen R. Brock, Priscilla A. Cross aka Milwaukee, grandma and Roger Sheltra and her goddaughter, McKinley M. Martinez, cousin Tonya Martinez, Ayden Martinez and uncle’s Dennis Cooper and Kargie Cooper as well as her many friends and spiritual community.

    Though we grieve in their physical absence, we take comfort in knowing that they are now together in the arms of the Divine.

    Promise was met with family and friends in the spiritual world to help guide Promise and baby Miracle’s way are as follows: grandpa, Charles D. Brock who so loved so much, her great grandmothers, Veleeta Wenzlick, Mary Cooper, Alice Brock and Rachel Sheltra; cousins, Keaton Wiseman, Kendall Wiseman and Anthony Mosher and her aunt’s Kaythong, Vilaysane, great aunt, Janice Mosher and great uncle, Ralph Wenzlick.

    Rest in eternal peace, sweet Promise and Miracle. You will forever be in our hearts. #justiceforpromisecooper[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”profile-links-header”]

    Her Story

    [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]Our Beloved Anisa Linette Moreno was born on September 12th, 1998.

    Anisa is survived by her beautiful children, Iker, Mateo, and Yazlyn. Her mother Grace Flores and father Jose Moreno. Her grandmothers Josie Moreno and Patsy Ortiz, and great-grandmothers Ofelia Flores and Nana Chole. Anisa is survived by her sisters Selina, Ayana, Melina, Reina, brothers, Adrian, Patrick, Phillip, and Antonio. And her nieces, Adrianna, Larissa, and Adilene and her nephew Nicholas Jr. Anisa is also survived by numerous Aunts and Uncles, and extended family that love her deeply.

    Anisa was a free spirit that befriended many people from all walks of life. Anisa never passed judgement on anyone regardless of their situation. Anisa had an unwavering love for her children and family. She shared a special bond with her father and grandmother Josie. Anisa would light up any room with her infectious laughter and caring spirit. She loved unconditionally and if you knew her you knew her to be cheerful, playful and always enjoyed a good coloring book. Anisa will be missed dearly by all who know her.

    Tragically Anisa’s life was cut short on February 1st , 2025, at the tender age of 26 due to a senseless act of gun violence. Not only did we lose our precious Anisa but the innocent baby in her womb. This devastating loss of two innocent lives will forever be heavy on her family’s hearts.

    The Moreno & Flores families thank all for their prayers and heartfelt messages sent during this difficult time. We are all so thankful for everyone who has donated to give Anisa the Celebration of Life she deserves.

    -Hebrews 10:30- “For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. And again, “The Lord will judge His people” 31- It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living god.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”profile-links-header”]
