I am extremely sad about this loss to the world. I have not seen the cook family in many years, but will always remember Gina and all times as a child I spent in the cook house and all the good times spent growing up with many cook siblings. Stay strong and keep your memories alive.

My sincere sympathy to Gina's family and friends. She was our favorite waitress. We laughed a lot. I have missed seeing her. I hope you find comfort in the happy memories. I remember knitting her a purse because she loved her purses. God Bless you all in this time of grief. She was a good soul gone far too soon.

Gina,
I already miss our laughter, your smile, love, and heart. My girls are heartbroken. I will always be there for Billy, and everyone for comfort and care. So many memories, so much laughter. My best friend, my confidant. Things we have shared that no one will ever know. You had my trust and I had yours. Through our rough time we endured, I never lost hope that time would bring us together again and it did. I know you are up there looking down, cherishing and catching up with your loved ones but I know your spirit is by each and everyone you touched. There we're so many friends and family there today, showing all their love for you. I think things were just how you would have wanted them to be today.I love you with all my heart babe.
