I want to share my condolences to the Cook family. Carolyn was my cooperating teacher during my student teaching in the Spring of 2005 at Broadway HS, and her guidance was instrumental to helping me become the teacher I am today. Her energy and love of teaching along with her compassion for the students was amazing. She touched many lives, and she will always have a place in my heart. Prayers to the family for peace and comfort.
