Mr. Cook, as I refer to him, was a
great man. Funny and always nice to me. A very good friend of my mother and father. They thought the world of him. I am sorry for your loss. We know it will come someday but I don't think we are ever really ready. You have a big family which is wonderful in times of sadness. Warmly, Priscilla Flynn
