As soon as I was old enough to realize that Aunt Cookie and I shared the same birthday I felt we had a special bond between us! She was such a fun Auntie and had such a big heart! I will miss her smiles and her laughter that filled me with joy! I will especially miss our birthday calls to one another. Wish we could give you one last fast ride in our Tesla, Aunt Cookie! Your thrill and laughter is still ringing in my ears! I love you!

Noooooooooo!
It just can't be.
I am absolutely stunned.
She was a spiritual hero for me, one of many. But her tenacity and faithfulness, wisdom and smile, beyond words.
Safeway will never be the same.
Crushed. Thank you Lord, for this precious woman.

Love and miss you everyday Grandma. It doesn't even seem real yet. I picked up the phone to call you and tell you that your LA Dodgers finally made the playoffs and had to catch myself. You are truly one of a kind and a saint. You did so much for so many lives. Your kindness and generosity will be missed. Love your G.S.S.B. (Grandma's special spoiled brat) Marland Guinn III
