To the Mayo and Jackson Family:My deepest sympathies go out to you and the family....Cookie was one of a kind ...always friendly when you stepped to him friendly and always to the point when you didn't ....I always called him friend ...he always had a kind word to share whenever we met...He always made me laugh from the eight grade until this very day when I think of him and Hunter....The night we rode to the beach with Hunter,Cookie,CC and myself in CC's mothers' car I never laughed so hard from that adventure getting home around 2am and everytime I tried to explain to my parents why I was late I just kept laughing even when that belt kept coming....The Miss Bunny and Hunter stories that Cookie and I laughed about crying tears because it was so funny...I'm going to miss my friend but one thing I have that I wont ever forget is how he taught me to be a friend (thats being yourself not changing at every wind and doctrine that comes along) being honest in your feelings not being afraid to laugh at yourself.....Sometimes you don;t know how many lives you touch just by being yourself, just a smile to give to someone goes a long way to someone who hasn't smiled all day until they see you ....Cookie was all of those and more .....We're all going to miss him but the memories that I have of him are priceless...So to the family he left all of us a very special part of himself fond memories of a great guy ....All my love ...Jesse James ...class of 68 Carver Trojans
