To Mrs. Cook's family,
I was so sorry to hear of Mrs. Cook's passing. I have such wonderful memories of growing up on Lakewood Dr. As kids,we had a blast, with too many stories to tell. Your mom and mine were good friends for many years,sadly we lost our mom in May. My brother and sisters and I were in town last week to clear out my mom and dad's house at 24 Lakewood and we talked about all the good times we had growing up there. The plays and concerts we put on for our moms and neighbors. I had sent your Mom a card for her 100th and she had sent me back a note ,and in it, remembered the time we all pooled our money to buy her a box of chocolate covered cherries for her birthday many years ago! She still remembered that :)
She was a wonderful,sweet,kind women who left a lasting impression on all who met her.
A special hello to Ray and Marilyn,we were pretty lucky weren't we?
My prayers are with you.
