Mr. Cook, Pam and Robert,
Losing someone you love is difficult but it is especially heart breaking to lose a wife and mother. Mrs. Cook was a beautiful person inside and out. I have such fond memories of her visits to Edmonton. She loved to shop and would go on her own during the day when Pam and I worked. In the evenings she wanted to hit the malls again when we were able to accompany her. Quilts was her favorite store. She treated us so well. Cocktails and delicious meals were waiting for us after our work day. On Fridays she would join us for Happy Hour at a local pub we would frequent for the purposes of ‘Networking’ ???? She was an instant hit with all our friends and co-workers. The saying “To know her was to love her” holds especially true.
Hold on to all the memories as they will provide you with comfort during this difficult time.
Sending love and my deepest condolences
