~I have always remembered Ms. Cook throughout my years. She was my of the best teachers at Bancroft Jr. High School. One of the most soft spoken and stern people one could ever meet.
May she rest in peace. My sympathy and prayers to her family.~

Ann Cook was a dear friend of mine from First Congregational Church. She helped so much with the Women's Fellowship. I enjoyed many a lunch with her. She was a dear friend and I will miss seeing her and speaking with her on the phone!!
