I miss cita often. I so wish she was still here: A superb person who I was fortunate to know.

Cita was one of my roommates our sophomore year at Sweet Briar College. She was an especially nice person full of energy and with an inquisitive mind. We were sorry that she decided to transfer to SMU after that, but understood her devotion to all things Texan! When she left, she gave us all gold charms in the shape of Texas. It is still on my charm bracelet and I think of her with fondness whenever I wear it. Our lives went in different directions, but we reconnected a couple of years ago by...

we need Cita in our world. I miss her calmness, her compassion and her empathy. I´m so privileged to have known her.

My fellow historian and friend, Cita Cook, brightened my time in Georgia, and generously supported my work to bring history to children. Her good cheer, keen sense of right and wrong, clear-eyed approach to human foible, were so deeply reassuring in a cynical age, and heavens, how clever she was. My condolences to you, her family,of whom she was so deeply proud, and loved so very much. I was not among her closest friends, but she made me feel I was. She certainly affected my life for the...

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

What a life Cita lived! Her positive enthusiasm to learn & help is what I will remember most about Cita, as she touched everyone she met. My heart goes out to all her family members in this difficult time. Sending love & prayers & celebration of a life well lived. Love Ashley (Morrison) Fraser Sydney Australia

Cita was one of my mom Linda's best friends and was a joyful presence throughout my childhood. Her kindness and generosity of spirit were such a tremendous gift. Her commitment to social justice never wavered and never eroded her cheerful disposition. Her love of her families--both the one she was born into and the ones she created along the way--was palpable. We love you, Cita.

I am so sorry for your loss...I hope that you can find comfort within God´s promise to reunite us with our loved ones, found at John 6:40. May the God of all comfort be with the friends and family during this difficult time.
