Willie H. (Cooney) Shiflett - Guestbook

Rose and family -

My sympathy and empathy to all of you during this sad time of adjusting to losing your special loved one. Cooney certainly seemed to be quite the character and a pioneer in many ways. He lived a good and productive life and will be missed. May you smile and laugh at the many memories he bequeathed you all.

God bless

Steve Griffith (friend of Rose)

Dear Rose, Liz and all of the family.....even though I have never personally met Cooney, I feel as though he has been a part of my life for a long time.....knowing Rose and Liz for many years, they have shared their stories and admiration for their father with me. You will be in our thoughts and prayers.....we love you, Jin and Bobby

Rose,

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your father. I know how much you loved him, as you would speak of his strength and integrity often. These are some of the very same qualities he gave to you.

Please know that you have many friends who care about you and are here for you anytime. Do not hesitate to call upon me if you need anything. My family and I will keep you and all of yours in our prayers.

My deepest condolences go out to Rose and Glenda and the rest of their family. If dad was anything like these two extraordinary women then he was definitely a great man. I hope Rose continues to tell "daddy" stories as there is always a lesson to be learned or a golden nugget of wisdom in them. Since my mother passed on the 26th I am hoping that mom was one of his greeters in heaven. I am sending much love your way!

Rose - my thoughts and prayers are with your family. I will see you when you get back to Tampa and give you a big hug. God Bless. Lisa Pagano

I will always remember the smiles that were shared amongst you as you discussed "Cooney." I know he held a special place in your hearts which make this time so difficult. A full life was shared with you and will give each of you special memories for the rest of your lives.

May knowing that friends are praying for all of you bring joy in the midst of the storm as you realize that he has no pain or worries now. May God give you His peace as you walk through this valley.

Love and blessings to all,

Rose - I am so sad for your loss. I know how hard this is and want to send my love and prayers to you and your family. I know how much you loved your father and I know he knew too.

We are so sorry for your loss

My Dear Betty, Rose, Liz, Glenda and Tommy,
Thank you for sharing your wonderful Cooney with the rest of us. I am a better person for having known him and am proud he called me one of his own. He was as fine a man as any who have walked this earth and I loved him dearly.
My heart is with you and the rest of the family. I thank God we will all see him again. You are my family and I love each of you. Thelma

Sorry for your loss but the pipeliners reunion must be having a grand time - I can just imagine the stories that are being told. Cooney, save us a place, we're not that far behind you.

I didn't have the pleasure of meeting Cooney, but for the past year, I've had the distinct pleasure of knowing his son, Tommy, and for a bit less time his daughter-in-law, Marilyn. David, Allison, Stephanie and Adam Sadler extend our deepest condolences to the Shiflett family.

David Sadler

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air.
Up, up, up the long, delirious burning blue
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never Lark, or even Eagle flew -
And while with silent lifting mind, I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand and touched the face of God."
-- High Flight by John Gillespie Magee, Jr. --

Tommy & Marilyn,

All from CR7 send deepest sympathy to you and your family. We pray for your strength today.

Tommy Shiflett:
Speaking with your "crew" here in MN, it seems many of the folks knew your father. Reading about his life, I get the sense of where you sprang from and how you became the majestic person that you are.

You can be sure our thoughts have been with you and we are sorry for your loss.

Life goes on, good or bad. We need you here in MN, return safely.

Tommy and Marilyn,

You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. We are so very sorry for your loss. This will be a time of sorrow to grieve his passing and a time of reflection to remember the joyous days that you were able to share in his life.

With Deepest Sympathy,

Melinda, Lyndsie, Dylan, Brandon and Darryl

Tommy & family,

Tommy,

During these days of great sorrow you will be transported back to your youth, feeling the tearful loss of your father as a young child would. You will be thinking, sharing and reviewing the events you shared with your father, the events that have formed you into the man you are today.

Although you have had something precious taken away, you will be given the gift of feeling deeply, great appreciation, for what you have received as a son, a truly priceless gift.

Know the dear Lord is holding your father, with all the tenderness, care and love that you wish you could.

My sincere sympathy goes out to you and your family.

Tommy & Marilyn,
Our prayers are with you and your family.

God Bless,
Paul & Kristin

We are the twin daughters of Curtis Sides,the grand-daughters of Marry(Shiflett)Sides.Uncle Cooney is a treasured memory we will always have. God bless your family and our sincerest sympathy to you.

Dearest Betty and family,
My Uncle Cooney, what a tall, strong and handsome man. I can hear him call my parents, brother-in-law, sister-in-law and myself, baby sister. His voice and mannerisms had the unique gift of making you feel as though nothing bad could happen to you as long as he was around. He did love his family and Mrs. Betty has only reinforced his wonderful ways and actions.

No one can take his place! I love you Uncle Cooney, brother-in-law is waiting on you.

Love,
Baby sister,
Tammy Stevenson Orms

Sending our prayers to all the family of such a great man. Cooney, Betty, Rose & Liz you have been a part of my life that has such great memories for me. I feel privileged to have known such a honorable man. I know that your faith, family and friends will help you make it through this challenging time.
He will never be forgotten.
With Heartfelt Condolences,
Cheryl Woods-Williams & Family

Our condonlences go out to all the family. There aren't very many "pipeliners" left. Those that are, are such great story tellers, about the "old" days.
Just keep all memories close and charish them.
Rely on the Lord to get through this very difficult time.
