Just read about Sally's passing. May her joyful, caring spirit live on through all of her family and friends.

Dear Jon,

I was very sorry to hear of your mother's passing.

Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Peter,
I am so, so sorry to hear of your Mothers passing. She was such an incredible woman. But I don't have to tell you that. I fondly remember all the fun times I had at your house in high school. She was always a light and would often help guide me. Please express my condolences to all of your family. This bob kitten will be so missed.

Jen,

I am so sorry to hear about your Mom. I just talked with she and your Dad last month and was so happy to catch up with them and hear about how your life has been going. She was a wonderful person.

Dear Phil and Famly...There are no words to express our profound sympathy in the loss of an amazing woman, and friend. We loved her personality...Sally will be missed. Fondly, Dan and Tiny

Peter, Mary Ann, Maddie & Jake-

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Know that we understand your enormous loss. We're here for you if you need anything.

Dear Grammy,
I love to remember the time when we went canoeing to the playground for a picnic. Then we came back to the house. Then we played games and had dinner.
Lately, I've seen a couple of Great White Herons and an Osprey. I decided that when I see a beautiful bird, it will be you checking in one me.
I'll Love you Forever, I'll Miss You,
Your Grandson, Matt

Dear Phil-
My thoughts and prayers are with you all. What wonderful memories you all have to treasure - this is a gift that will live on.
May God Bless you.

Dear Grammy, I am sorry that we lost you. I will always remember you for my whole entire life. I wanted you to live to 100 years old so I could see you longer and we could spend more time together. I wish you didn't have cancer. You grammy are a very nice person. You gave me my only knitted blanket and I will keep it forever and it will always remind me of my Grammy and I hope you will always remember me. I know you will be smiling down at me when I look at the moon or see a special bird. Love your grandson Sam Rotman.

Phil, John, Peter and Jen - Our thoughts are with you. Your wife and mother was a wonderful lady and such a great friend to my mother. She will be missed everyday. Warmest thoughts and hugs.

Your mother must be so proud of all of you. You have carried on in her tradition of courage and dignity. Your loss is a great one but while she lived you had a wonderful mother as you well know. I loved the pictures and how she grew in beauty with motherhood. May it comfort you to know she had a rich and full life filled with love. Iris

Dear Grammy, I am sorry that we lost you. I will always remember you for my whole entire life. I wanted you to live to 100 years old so I could see you longer and we could spend more time together. I wish you didn't have cancer. You grammy are a very nice person. You gave me my only knitted blanket and I will keep it forever and it will always remind me of my Grammy and I hope you will always remember me.

Phil, judging from those wonderful pictures, you and Sally must have had a truly marvelous fifty years together. While we mourn your loss, we celebrate that fifty years.

Best wishes,, Mimi and Gerry Michaud

My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Our sophomore year at Bates, as room-mates, is one I cherish. I know her loving spirit will live forever. Janet Arnold Kirk

I grieve this whole family their loss but I rejoice in the gift they shared, Sally. Remembering her smile, Beth Phillips Rodman

My Aunt Sally's passing saddens me greatly. She fought a long and courageous battle and her gentle, loving spirit will live on now just as it did during her life. I will always treasure having her as an Aunt and wish each of you peace, comfort and fond memories. Love, Scott Smith

Phil,
You and your family are in our thoughts. Sally will always hold a special place in my heart as she welcomed me with open arms into the Cooke family traditions -- taking me to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, Thanksgiving dinner, skiing in Waterville, etc.
With sympathy,

We all share the loss of one of our class treasures, Sally Smith Cooke.

Sally was very special and possessed a very unique talent in just being herself. That special smile, how she truly cared for others, her warmth and humor.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Sally's family. Let's focus on remembering the wonderful things Sally brought to all of us.

Most certainly Sally will never be forgotten.

Love to all,

Paul
