Mrs. Cook, Blessings on you and your family. I will always remember Mr. Cook as one of my favorite teachers, and given some of the people we had in our science class, the man had the patience and tolerance of a saint. I know all of our lives were enriched by having him as our teacher.

Dear Christy, May you and your dear mother feel the Lord's arms about you as you grieve. I know the journey has been long and hard. May you sense His comfort and renewed strength. How precious to know you will see your daddy again and that He is in the presence of the Lord where there is fullness of joy and pleasures for evermore (Ps.16:11) But God's grace is not an analgesic..there is still such pain at times. We are praying for you. Love, Ed and Sally

I know from talking to Christy the impact this godly man had on her. It is clear she is the godly thoughtful woman she is largely by virtue of God's using her dad as His instrument. I look forward to meeting Brother Cook in the presence of our King.
