She's been in my life since the 70's.....teaching, smiling, laughing, being a friend, nursing and loving life....She had a zest for life that was infectious and will be missed by all. I'll see you again D'borai.

Some of my best life memories come from my first meeting with D'Boria in the Baptist ER - as a new hospital sales professional she took me under her wing and we became fast friends. Over the years she continued to inspire me through her words of encouragement, through her actions - loving and caring her others - through her example as Christ's warrior. It is great sadness that Bill and I are honored and blessed to have know D'Boria and her family. She was truly a blessing in our lives and we will miss her. Our heartfelt condolences.

Dborai embodied all of the attributes of the woman I can only aspire to become. She was caring, thoughtful, hardworking, compassionate, and strong. I will continue to strive to "be Christ-like" as she counseled me on more than occasion when faced with adversity. I love you with all my heart!

Cornell, Lynn & family,
I am so deeply sorry for your loss. D'borai made a huge impression on me years ago when I worked with her in the ED. This was during the time she was still faculty for BHSLR & would work extra. I loved her passion for nursing & for patients. She had such knowledge, skills, & so much energy! I told one day that I wished she had been one of my instructors, although I went to UCA. D'borai truly had a servant's heart, just one of the many things we all loved about her. She touched many lives & will truly be missed by all. My prayers & thoughts are with you.

My life has been blessed by knowing D'borai. Her spirit, work ethic, faith, love of family was exemplified in her daily work. She was a perfectionist with a servant's heart. She spoke often of Lynn and the grandchildren. There was always a loving tone and laughter in her voice when speaking of her family. Although she was physically away from you a lot due to her commitment to the healing ministry, you were always with her in her heart and she spoke about you so fondly and often. Thank you for sharing her with the Baptist Health family.

D'borai, D'borai my friend, my mentor. I loved your kindness and your willingness to teach your students how to love and learn the joy of becoming a nurse.GOD bless you, your legacy and your family. This world's loss is heaven's gain. You will be missed. Just knowing you were on the same earth meant so much to anyone who wanted to learn. My condolence to all of your family.

Karen (Gleason) Black

D'borai was more than an instructor to me when I was at Baptist - she was a true mentor and although I was an older student - I looked up to her and we became friends and continued to share moments even after I graduated (since I was employed at Baptist in Little Rock)

She was the type of nurse and person who you wanted to be like.

She held me when I cried and shared my joys as well.

She was a role model of Christian values and she shone with HIS inner light.

She is home now, she is with family, she is at rest, and those who "touched shoulders" with her were enriched by that association.

She will be missed I am certain, but she is being embraced by her Father whose love and behavior she exemplified in all manner of her interactions with those she came in contact with; especially me whose has thought of her with fond memories over these past years even though we lost contact.
Rest sweet, sweet D'borai...

D'borai was my favorite instructor many years ago in nursing school... She was by far the best..although I have not seen her in many years I am saddened by her death.. I considered her my friend who always had a smile....I wished I would of kept in contact thru the years... My prayer is that she was reunited with Brendan and that one day we can swap Er stories as we worship our savior...

I remember her as Mrs. Cook. She was one of my Critical Instructors at Baptist Health. I can remember during one of her lectures she told us, "If I come up on you in a wreck and you don't have your seat belt on. I will leave." She had a passion for her profession. She was a great instructor, someone to look up to and a great professional. I talked to years later while she was back to working in the ER, it was like talking to an friend. She was an inspiration to others, great role model, loving and compassionate. She will missed by many. Thank you, Mrs Cook for being a great example of what each of need to achieve to be.
Sorry for your loss,
I Peter 5:7 "Cast all your cares upon Him for He careth for you."

D'borai was such an amazing woman, always such an inspiration to so many! She taught me so much about being a Trauma Coordinator and was always there for me when I called, day or night. She always made me text her and let her know I made it home safe after a Baptist System Trauma meeting, and I always felt happy to know she cared! I just can't imagine the void that is left in the lives of her family and closest loved ones, just take comfort in knowing she is with her Lord! Fly high D, we love you and will miss you!

My personal and professional life will never be the same without "Cook", or as I commonly referred to her as another "Mother Theresa".

It is tough, but you have a bunch of people out here to support your family.

What a huge loss for us, but, Oh my, what a gain in Heaven. For ALL the years I've known D'borai, she's always been the most positive, kindest, smart, friendliest person (nurse) around. Her laughter was contagious, and her professionalism infectious. She never met a stranger that she didn't make them feel like family. I just loved this lady. She will be greatly missed. Our thoughts & prayers for all those who knew & loved her.

Ms Cook was one of my Nursing instructors way back in 1989, she was wonderful, smart, patient and above all kind to me during a stressful time and set an example of what a nurse should be, I was glad to see her smiling face once again when I went back to work at baptist a few years ago. If we could all be as sweet and kind as she was this world would be a better place, we have truly lost an angel.

When I worked with De I always wished I had her energy. She always had time for all her patients and staff. Her greatest love was her family. She would talk about her boys. Then her grand babies. She made such a difference in so many lives as a nurse. She helped save lives,change medical standards, and mold young nurses into caring educated medical patient advocates. She did all this with that familiar nod of her head, smile on her face. She has given her best. We just need to pass it forward.

Lynn, Anita and Family: May God grant you strength at this time of loss! I was fortunate to have spoken to D'borai a couple of weeks ago at the Arkansas Department of Health (ADH). She was leaving the building when i caught a glimpse of her and spoke her name. She turned and gave me that big, beautiful smile of hers! we spoke for just a moment. I will always treasure that moment because that would be the last time I saw her. I did not learn of her falling sick shortly that chance (?) meeting. She was a true Catholic Lady who loved her family. Rest assured that she is now in Heaven with her beloved son, Brendan. I remember attending his funeral in 1994. She suffered his loss but she continued her excellent work as a trauma nurse helping others in need of medical care. She also served with the Trauma Advisory Council for several years. May she rest in the Peace of Christ!!! Reg Rogers, Catholic High "77

I was saddened to hear the news of D'borai's death. We've been nurse friends since the 70s. She was one of the smartest, kindest, most caring and genuine women I have ever known. As the Trauma Program Manager at Baptist Health in Little Rock, she was instrumental in their successes as a Level 2 Trauma Center. She leaves a huge void in the Arkansas Trauma System and in the hearts of her many colleagues. My deepest sympathy to her family.
