Dear Joan, David, Timmy, Renee, Lisa, & Diane

Uncle Cookie was one of my favorite people. He was so funny. I have been praying for all of you that God will give you peace and comfort during this difficult time. Uncle is at peace now and I bet he is having a big cup of black coffee with Jesus. Love and miss you all

Joan & family,
Cookie will be greatly missed. He was the life of the party, esp. when he went to see mom at Gracedale. He loved to joke w/ everyone there and make them laugh. He was also a great friend to my dad as they grew up together. Now they are w/ each other again in heaven. I will always remember Cookie as a great person and the things he did. There are too many fond memeories. RIP Cookie and have that cup of coffee you have been waiting for my dad to share. Don't worry we will keep an eye out for Joan. You are now a guardian angel watching over everyone.
Love & Will Miss You Greatly,

October 14, 2011

Joan and family my thoughts and prayers are with you. Marty Leo
