We can all agree! If the cycle is not broken NOW, the next generations will be doing the same thing we
are doing today. Millions of voiceless souls who belong to NO ONE will continue to be killed, thrown
away together in mass graves ­ loved, wanted, and remembered by NO ONE. Voiceless souls treated
like unwanted trash = tragedy!
In closing, when asked what their legacy would be, John thought for a few moments then responded,
"I really don't know what my legacy will be but I would hope to be remembered as
someone who cared, and someone who tried to make a difference."
He shared with us that Lynn's headstone says, "Beloved wife, loving sister and daughter, caring and
generous friend ­ she will be loved forever."
Through tears of love, he said she was "as beautiful, if not
more so, inside as she was outside". Lynn Copenhaver's love for her husband, her family, her friends,
former patients, her pets and all who were fortunate to know and love her was tremendous and she left
a profound, lasting impact and legacy on them all.
John went on to say how deeply their two pets, Hubbell and
Gatsby, have helped pull him through the grieving process. He
said,
"There were so many days that I thought, `what's the
point?' but then I would look down at their loving, giving faces
and eyes of love, and it was in those moments that I knew why
­ it was our dogs, sweet Hubbell and Gatsby, who depended
and still depend on me ­ they showed me why and have loved
me and gotten me through each day since the loss of Lynn."
All one has to do is spend a few moments in this home, around
John and his two dogs, to know how very much they love and
adore him! We are so grateful to Mr. John Copenhaver for
sharing his life, his home, his pets and most of all, the
treasured memories of his beautiful wife, Lynn, with our
readers! It truly is a story of a "match made in Heaven" and
one well-lived on earth. We have no doubt this great "love"
story will continue throughout the ages as their souls are once
again reunited beyond the stars.
