I truly enjoyed the time spent with Mr. Cook
I loved the talks we had ,the jokes and laughter we shared, but most of all the love he expressed for his wife ( Mrs. Amy ) and his children Dale and Marie . The silly songs we tapped out feet to or snapped a finger or two, I will never forget his famous whistle which wasn't much of one at 3:00 am trying to awake Mrs. Cook, he would say I want My Woman, or My Wife and always highly complimented her no matter what his love always was expressed. I'm going to miss you greatly Mr. C you will continue to be in my thoughts. My Prayers and Deepest Condolences to the Cook Family
With Love Jewelene
