Coco is the name that I affectionately called her, was more than a church member to me; she was a beloved sister, mentor, encourager, and friend. Her grace, wisdom, strength, and love for God and His church left a lasting impression on all who had the privilege of knowing her.
I will forever cherish the memories we shared and the many ways she poured into the life of Community Worship Center. Her presence, her laughter, her counsel, and her beautiful spirit will be deeply missed.
May God comfort Denton, her family, and her dear friends, strengthen every heart, and surround them all with His peace during this difficult time. Coco’s legacy of faith, love, and service will continue to live on in all of us.
With love and heartfelt sympathy,
Marsha Friday
