Dear Cousins,
I have been so sad since hearing of the loss os Cookie. She was a very important person in my life, as a mentor in my teens. She was a very strong support during the periods of my father's death and my mother's hospitalization. As your beautifully-written obituary indicated, she was the consummate hostess, bringing together people from all the various parts of her and Howie's lives, in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

We wish you peace and comfort, and wish her peace and freedom from pain.

To the Siegel Family
Know that Our prayers and good thoughts are with you all. Cookie and Howie came into our lives by way of a third party introduction via Tom Redden another close friend. As we moved to SW Florida one of our first guest to our new home were Cookie and Howie a short while before they adopted their Florida winter home. We will miss these two seemingly inseparable people but find comfort as you will in knowing they are together again and still occupying a space in all of our hearts!
