Sorry to hear that, I lost my father this year, so I know it's no fun.

and left the sanitizer in for about 3 weeks and came home pored sanitizer out and made a brew and it was foul,,,

What sanitiser are you using? It may be that it soaked in to the porous plastic walls of your fermenter and ended up in your beer (e.g. bleach) or lost its effectiveness over time and let stuff grow causing an infection (e.g. iodophor).

Yep that's right; the Coopers yeast is very vigorous and often has short lag times, especially at high temperatures. BTW, it's spelled "Mexican Cerveza".
