Dear Charlotte , Frankie and your wonderful families. WOW it is so hard to believe that is just about a year since we lost our beautiful Cookie and almost 6 months since I lost my dad to cancer too. We have each been on a sad and frustrating journey as caregivers and as their children watching one's we love so deeply suffer, deteriorate and then lose their battle while we feel so helpless by their side. One thing for certain is that Our love for them will always be there, our memories of how important they were to us will never fade away and through us they will live on. I love you guys and hope Cookie is having a ball, pain free, and maybe having a cannoli with my dad in heaven. One thing I know for sure is that they are pretty proud of us right now- I know Cook was always proud of you but from up there she can see everything more clearly and is doubly proud of you two right now!! I love you all,
(thinking of you all with Love) xoxoxo

Dear Frankie, Charlotte & Family,
I'm sorry to hear about your mother,"Cookie". I remember her telling me as a kid "call me Cookie", I said ok, but as long as she's in your heart she will be with you forever. I know you two were close with your mum but all I can say when your feeling down is remember the memories you had together, the good times I call them. That's what help's me. With much love, Billy Andrews

Charlotte and Frankie,

I want to express my sorrow for your troubles at this time in the passing of your mother. Our mothers, what would we do without them? They are dearest and nearest in our hearts always.

My prayers will be for your mother, that she rests eternally with God our Father, and for both of you, that you take comfort and rest in knowing our Faith and the Covenant with God will surely provide all that is needed here on Earth and forever in Heaven.

God Bless you,

Charlotte, Frank, and family, my deepest sympathy to you and your family on Cookie's passing. Faced with difficult news and difficult times, she would always smile. What a wonderful attribute. Although I knew her for such a short time, she seems to have been one of those individuals who likely lit up many people's lives. May she now be at peace.
God bless you all in your time of need,

It is said that in life you only have one mother. Well, I was very fortunate to have had three. But my number one was my Auntie Cookie. Her light may have been extinguished on this earth, but it will forever shine in my heart. Love, your niece, Deborah
