Cooper was born April 15, 2022, on Good Friday, at Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, MO, and weighed 3 lbs.11 oz., and was 15 inches long. Cooper is the son of Rachel (Thompson) Amiot and Matthew O’Bray of Herington, KS. During his brief visit on earth, he enjoyed listening to music, rocking and being held close by mommy and daddy, mommy singing and reading stories every morning, and having his soft feet rubbed by his daddy. He really enjoyed his droplets of milk as he did get a feeding tube at 4 days old. He always gave kissy lips as he sucked in his milk.
