    So many wonderful memories. Such a beautiful person. Know she’s happy to be with Johnnie! For some reason as I was thinking about fun days I remembered her pet Raccoon. She’s the only one I ever knew that had a raccoon. Loved her dearly and she’s lovin’ her heavenly reunion with everyone. Prayers for all of her dear family ??❤️

    My church family and lifelong friend! She was the embodiment of the love of God, family and friends, a true Christian in every way - with a gentle beautiful spirit who was giving, kind, caring, loyal, supportive, selfless - an inspiration to all. She leaves a huge void here on earth, forever in our hearts. So many wonderful shared memories including when she met and fell in love with Johnny, the love of her life. Clearly, Amy completed their family. I will miss her gentle presence, her warm smile, kind words of encouragement and hope, always. Love and prayers for her family and friends today. Our loss, Heaven’s gain! ??♥️??

    Cookie was extraordinary. She embodied kindness and giving. I never saw her happier than the day she received Amy. Her faithfulness to God, Johnny, Amy, and her parents were a model for everyone. I’m so happy for her to be in the presence of the Lord but sad for those of us left behind who will miss her. Life will not be the same without Cookie.

    I am so sorry to hear of Cookies passing! We rode the school bus together as kids and became friends thru out school and into our adult lives. She was a beautiful soul. She loved Jesus!
