Condolences

Dear Natalie and family, I was so sorry to hear of Cookie’s passing. My condolences to you all. Fondly, Ellie

Cookie will be remembered by us for her warmth and friendly conversations. She always had a smile and enjoyed being out and with family and friends. We know her memory will bring a smile to all.

I was so sorry to hear the very sad news. May Cookie's memory be a blessing and an inspiration to all who were privileged and honored to have known her. Sorry that the distance precludes me being with you during this very difficult time. You are in my thoughts and prayers. With much love, Renee

Dear cousins Nate, Larry and family. I have had so much death the past few years but losing my beloved Aunt Cookie was a hard one. The obituary is so true. A most amazing and caring person. Truly loved her nieces and nephews. As a child I loved leaving the suburbs to spend weekends with my Aunt Cookie. So many memories. She made everything special. She took me often to the blue slide park and let me walk your collie Prince. My 16th birthday was truly special because of her. I still wear the bracelet she got me. The times we stayed in Erie. It goes on and on. May she be with the angels and in peace. Nobody can replace her. So glad donations to care for shelter pets is an option. I love you Aunt Cookie. Judi
