Judy and the whole family, your Mother was a wonderful lady. A prime example of a godly woman. After my own Mother left this world for her heavenly home in March, I understand what you’re going through. It is so awesome to have the Lord walk through these trying times with us.
You have been and will continue to be in our prayers. May God bless you all and give you strength for the days ahead.

Benny, Lisa, and family,
Mrs. Cook was such a sweet lady. I will have your family in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. I apologize that I was unable to make it to the service.
