To all of Cookie's family (from your New Orleans cousins),
Beverly and I just heard the news and we want to extend our sincere sympathy to all of you. I remember Cookie from our younger years.. and our many trips to MS with mom (Aunt Deas). It's ashame that time passes so quickly as we get older and we are unable to visit as often as we should. Cookie was a dear person and I know you will all miss her very much. We want you to know you are all in our prayers. We hope to visit soon and hopefully can get in touch. We love you all very much. Nona Dragna Johnson and Beverly Dragna Christian
P.S. Would love to hear from all of you.
