Cookie was the sister of my high school boyfriend, but she and her family were more like my second family for the past 54 years. Since I was 14 years old, I was enveloped into the loving selestow clan. I spent many fun times with cookie and her sister Andrea, whether in Chicago or when they would come visit me at Valparaiso University. I was with her on a ship when she first met her husband Vjeko!
She was a love and I miss her. I know her untimely passing is a real jolt for her siblings and children. My heart goes out to you, Alka and Zane. Such a bright light. May we learn to live like she did with unbridled love and joy.
Happy Ascension, Cookie.

Love, Linda Van Scotter and the Entire Van Scotter Family
