Katie & Family:
I am devistated at the news of Eddie's homegoing. I just cannot believe it. My heart is with you in prayer and love. I wish I could be there, but I am with my Joe who is battling cancer at this time. Please know I feel such great loss that I can't imagine how you and the children feel. It seems Bill left us then one right after the other has. Though you have experienced such great loss in such a short time, we still have to hold onto the fact that God makes no mistakes. I...

To the entire COOK family- I'm so sorry that you have lost two angels in such a short time. When I lost my little sister, someone told me,
"The biggest goal a Christian has it to get to heaven. She just beat us there." That is how I feel about Helen and Eddie. They are in heaven enjoying all of GOD's glory. May GOD grant you the peace of that knowledge. GOD BLESS, Dana Strickler

To the Cook family--I am so sorry to hear of Eddie's passing. I graduated high school with him and I remember him well. This portion of a poem I just read fits him well.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain, then you can say to God at night......""My day was not in vain.""
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile, knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

He sure did that. May God bless you all in this time of sorrow.

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

Katherine, we are so sorry to hear about Eddie's passing. We will keep you and the family in our prayers daily and trust that God will comfort and sustain you in these hours.
