Melissa, Roy, Mandy, Jessica, Ross,and Russell
I am deeply saddened by the loss of Miss Cookie.  My family will be praying for all of you.

"Father of all, we pray to you for those we love, but see no 
longer: Grant them your peace; let light perpetual shine upon 
them; and, in your loving wisdom and almighty power, work 
in them the good purpose of your perfect will; through Jesus 
Christ our Lord. Amen." BCP 1979

I had the pleasure of meeting Cookie thru her father-in-law Rene who I loved dearly and so did she.  We became good friends & Rene & I both admired how she was such a good & devoted mother & lady.
She lived her life for her children & grandchildren & loved you all so much.  I know you will all miss her, just remember how much she did love all of you.
I will miss her a lot but enjoyed our fun times at Chef Paul's parties & other things & especially our contacts by phone,facebook & E-mails.  
Rest in Peace Cookie.
With Love Rosalind Dauzat

Amanda, your Corps VI friends are sad to hear about the loss of your mother.

We are thinking of you and your family everyday, Roy.  I look at a photo I took of the Santa face Cookie helped me create and the fun she and I had with you at the arts & crafts store....And I smile.

My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. I'm sorry for your loss.

COOKIE ~
I want to use you longer.
I want to use your ears for hearing me and your voice for speaking with me.
I want to use your hands for helping me do things.
I want to use your smile and laughter for telling me 'It's OK!'
I think I'm kind of mad at you for leaving me!
I'm kind of glad for you to be in Jesus' arms.
Your assurance and comradery about our children will be with me always.
Thanks!
I'll enjoy their adventures more through your eyes also.
Cookie always showed love, for her children, family and friends.  She loved to see everyone enjoying themselves.  She loved when each child went on adventures.  I think she lived the adventures through you.  Her trip with Roy and Melissa was a highlight.  She was so proud of all of you.  Each of you loving and living life fully made her happy.  She took great pride in your life; with each of your accomplishments.  Every time you paid attention to children, she lit up.
Cookie is wrapped in God's arms with love, peace and no more pain.
Know her love for Jesus and
God's love for us, sending His only Son to die for our sins on the cross.

Roy and family, Tommy and I are so very sorry for your loss. You are all in our prayers.

Roy, Melissa, Jessica, Mandy, Ross and Russell, I can still hear your Mother's laughter when you would do something that would tickle her.  I will always remember the times we spent with you kids and her with fond memories.  Pulling up to McDonald's and ordering 15 ice cream cones in one van full of kids.  Those were the days.  I wish I could have been with you tonight and tomorrow but I couldn't be there but just so you know you are in my heart.  Sending my love to all of you  Susie Moore

Sorry to hear of your loss. My family sends their condolences and will be praying for you and you family.

   Roy, so sorry to hear about the loss of your mom. Our sympathy goes out to you and your entire family.
                                                         Tom Gaynord and the Pittston team.

Condolences to you all.  If the quality of someone's life, and their contribution to this world, is measured in the type of people their children and grandchildren become, then Margaret was certainly one incredible lady.  God Bless Heath, Amanda and Georgia -- and the extended Cortes family -- during this difficult time.

My condolences and prayers on the loss of your mother.

We are saddened to hear of your sudden loss, please accept our heartfelt condolences.

Dan & Ruth Callahan
