I have a lot of fond memories of Aunt Janet, but the one I thought I'd share is when I bought my first pickup truck. It's a stick shift, and I remember always talking to Janet about how much she loved driving a stick shift. I bought that truck in 1998 and still have it. Everytime I drive it, I think of her. I guess that's really what makes our lives what they are - a bunch of random, ordinary conversations and experiences. I'm so thankful I have so many memories of Janet that will stay with me for the rest of my days. Love you Aunt Janet.

Some of my best memories of my mother are calling her after flyers games, and hearing her say "Did you see that? That was Awesome!!" And then talking back and forth about every goal and how exciting it was. Also telling her funny stories and watching her laugh uncontrollably, to the point where i would keep going just to see her laugh even harder. I loved seeing her smile....Her "tough love" is why i am still alive today, and i am strong today because of her, the hardest working, most unselfish person ive ever met, love you mom.

I had the pleasure of getting to know Janet Cooley and her family when Jen and I became best friends in college. We would stop in for Eagles games or a quick lunch or dinner and she would feed us a TON of food. She was always smiling and laughing and teasing us. After college, I didn't see her as much, but whenever I did she always asked about my life, family, and relationships with such interest, concern and understanding. She was a very strong woman and was completely dedicated to her wonderful family. Jen is one of the most amazing, unique, honest, strong, funny, and selfless people I have ever met and she would do absolutely anything for anyone she cares about...I know many of these characteristics have come from her mom and I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to know her. She will truly be missed.

She is the mother of Sue Cooley, which has been a friend of mine since we were younger. I am a big fan the Cooley Family. I can't even put into words what you guys are going through. My prayers and positive vibes go out to your family. Life is short, but sweet for certain.

Janet was like a second mom to me growing up. Whenever I came over she would open up the refrigerator and feed us. We'd tell her what's going on in our young lives and she would just shake her head and laugh. Fortunately, I got to know Janet and the Cooley clan over the years. They were the family that was always joking with one another. Janet raised four amazing kids along with Eddie. Janet is one of the strongest ladies I know and she fought hard til the end. Rest in peace and Godspeed to your final destination. Xoxo

I didn't have the privilege of knowing Janet Cooley, but I know her daughters. Most notably Suzanne, who I have become close with over the past three years. Sue always admired her mom and would always tell me stories about her. I've told Sue multiple times that she's one of the strongest people I've ever met and I'm sure that Janet had a lot to do with that. Jennifer, Dana, Sue and the Cooley family- my prayers are with you now and always as you go through this difficult time. Just know that your mom is very proud of her girls, and you will always have an angel watching over you from heaven.

I have had the privilege of knowing the Cooley's for about 15 years. Growing up with Sue, her family always offered a warm and welcoming home. I will always remember the awesome stories Sue would tell me about her mom and family. Some were funny and others showed her strong character and what an amazing Mother she was. I remember Mr and Mrs Cooley cheering us on at every soccer game and Mrs Cooley providing the best snacks afterwards. She will truly be missed but will live on in each of her kids. My thoughts and prayers are with the Cooley's at this very difficult time.

Mrs. Cooley was so loved by her family. Her daughter Sue and I have become great friends. Sue spoke so fondly of her mom and described how dedicated Mrs. Cooley was to her family. I've heard so many stories about Mrs. Cooley that speak to how wonderful of a person she was. For Christmas this past year, Mrs. Cooley's four children got a portrait done and blown up for their mom. Sue described how grateful and appreciatetive Mrs. Cooley was for this simple gift. That depicts how much she loved her family. The Cooley family is in my thoughts and prayers. Sue is very special to me and I know that she will grow to be a wonderful woman because she had a wonderful example to follow.

My memories of Janet Cooley exist through the stories and memories her daughter Sue has of her. Sue and I have become close friends over the last couple years and I never had the pleasure of meeting her mom, but from the way she talks about her I can see how much of a strong, caring, and hardworking woman she was. I know how much Sue looked up to her mom for strength and wisdom- both things I look up to my friend Sue for. In effect, Mrs. Cooley has inspired me. My thoughts and prayers are with the whole Cooley family during this hard time.

My mom was an inspiration to me in so many ways. She was a hard working compassionate loving wife and mother. Her family was everything and she never cared about what people thought or said about her which I absolutely admired about her. She loved when I came over and told her about my life even if it was as simple as what I ate for lunch she was just happy to listen. She was so strong I can't even put into words the strength that she had. She would drop my siblings and I off at my grandmothers in Philadelphia when we were younger then take the el to work everyday then pick us back up make dinner do laundry bath us all and still have time to tell us a bed time story before doing it all again the next day. I remember one year she got her purse stolen and chased a guy 3 blocks until another guy stopped him and she got her purse back. She had no fear. I hope she knows how much she was loved and adored. Love you so much mom you will stay with me forever.
