Frank & I sends our sincere condolence to all the family. Many good memories of Mrs Barnes (Cook) as my teacher and the rides to school on rainy days. Spent many hours playing dolls in her basement with Vickie. A very dear & loving woman, May she Rest In Peace ????
Aunt Vicky (Uncle Wayne), Joanne (Keith and Family) and John (Kelly and Family) – I learned of Nanny Cooks passing yesterday and I thought back to the many wonderful family suppers and visits we had when I was younger with the Pennell Family. Nanny Cook as I would call her was always there – and I’m glad to have known her. She was very kind and loving from my memory and didn’t mind all of us running around, etc.
She had a wonderful life, living to 97 years of age. Cherish the memories of the past – but don’t forget the future where we have been promised a new heaven and earth when you can see Nanny Cook again.
Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.
