I will miss this Dear Lady, she was a loving mother to my dear friend John A. Cook and a friend to me. She would go to his house and do his dishes and he would have his wine shipped to her house just so they would keep in touch. The best was when they went to Walmart together. The world has lost a Wonderful Caring woman but we have gained an Angel in heaven. My Condolences to her entire family.

Dear Cook Family:

We are writing to express our great good fortune for having your mom, grandmother, and great grandmother in our lives. She made us better and always brought us joy. Every encounter with her was a blessing. Even now, as we are saddened by her passing, it is hard not to smile because we have only happy memories of the times we spent together, and any image of her that we can bring to mind is always one of her smiling face and the sparkle in her eyes. We will never forget her. She will live on through our memories, and the memories of the many people whose lives she touched over the years. We regret that we are unable to join you for today's memorial - please know that we are with you through our thoughts and prayers.
With deepest appreciation,
The Bik/Toussaint Family
