Dearest Tallula, You and your family have my deepest sympathy. I remember you so fondly from Columbia College (class of 1968). My maiden name was Carol Cook. I was so happy when your wonderful Seth accepted the call to ministry. He helped so many people. Because of your love and support, he could be the outstanding minister that he was. You are in my heart and in my prayers.
