Dear Mr. Cook and family: My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. I have so many wonderful memories of Mrs. Cook and her visits with my Mom and me as we designed and sewed dresses for her. She was always so complimentary, warm, and friendly. I loved her dearly, and really appreciated her encouraging my entrepreneurship! You were a great teacher and I enjoyed your classes, encouragement, and sense of humor. I thought the two of you were such a great couple. May God comfort and strengthen you all. Linda Lawrence Ellington, 8-A N. Congress St., York, SC 29745
