I knew Cookie when she attended New Hope Church. She always brought `cookies´ for fellowship. It was so easy to love this lovely servant of God. I will never forget her beautiful smile and meaningful hugs. Prayers and peace to Cookie´s family.

Cookie came to the office where I work. From the first time I met her we had a bond, I just adored her. I am so glad that I was able to sit, visit a bit, and give her a nice hug at her last visit. She gave great hugs. I am truly heartbroken and will miss seeing Cookie's smile.
God bless your entire family. Hugs to all.

All of us at Springfield Rescue Mission offer our sincere condolences! Our hearts have been so blessed over the years of support that she has given allowing us to share Christs' love to the Men, Women, and Children of the Greater Springfield area. We are praying for all those whose hearts are broken at her passing. However, we are encouraged to know that one day, we too will see her again.
