Vera Kachanovsky Cooke

I so much loved Vera! She was such a loving person! She was so generous too! I will never forget when I first met her; she hugged me and called me "honey"! Nobody had ever called me "honey" before! It sure felt good!

We only met your mom & dad the one time Laurie. The photo of them at the kitchen table was that night. We had a great evening of story telling and laughter. Our condolences to you, Yolanda and the rest of your family. May Vera rest in peace.

You had a wonderful loving spirit that lives on in your kids. It was a privilege to know you for a few short years, and I wish we had more time together. I treasure the thoughtful little gift you sent me for Christmas last year.

I didn't get much time with Vera, but I think the Casino's will miss her patronage! God Bless and a safe journey and warm welcome awaits you..

We will remember you Vera-your warm friendship and love, your rich sense of humour, your beautiful voice as a Bobcaygeon Chorister, your generous spirit, the twinkle in your eye, your elegant style, the sway and confidence when you walked and so much more! Steve and I were so lucky to have you and Tom as friends. Our world has lost a real gem! Keep sparkling, Vera, up in the heavens with Tom!

I CAN JUST SEE THAT SMILE, WHEN MR COOKE, MEETS VERA UP IN HEAVEN, WITH BIG OPEN ARMS. BOTH MR AND MRS COOKE, WERE SO NICE TO ME AS A YOUNG BOY, AND SHOWED ME HOW TO LIVE RIGHT AND SEE THE VERY BEST IN PEOPLE. GOD BLESS YOU BOTH. UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN, REST THOSE GENTLE HEARTS.
