Our condolences to Uncle Larry, Scott, Stacey and the entire family. I have so many wonderful memories of time spent with Aunt Cookie (and the entire family) - going to the ballparks, learning how to do the scorebook (which I still do!) and hanging out by the pool. She was a wonderful, original woman...we are all lucky to have had her in our lives. May all of you be able to gather and share laughter through tears. Peace and love...

Our condolences to all the Stubings. I'll never forget all the great times with Aunt Cookie from going to Diablo's games in El Paso to going to game 6 of the World Series in Anaheim. She was always there for everyone.
