I loved Cookie and miss her terribly. I miss her giggle, her sense of humor, her energy, her hugs, her unfiltered conversations and views on life. She was my friend and I consider myself extremely lucky to have been gifted with that friendship these past several years.
MR. Scott Harrington,I knew and worked with your mother at Skelly and Getty. She was a great lady and very respected. During our conversations at worked she always mentioned you and how proud she was of you and your accomplishments including your becoming an Oral Surgeon.My wife and I offer our condolences to you and your family. May God give you peace and comfort.Buryl Hughes
My Aunt Helen had the most terrific laugh, and lived life to the fullest. You will be there in all our hearts at Bromide…"Death is not extinguishing the light; it is putting out the lamp because dawn has come".
I am so saddened to hear of your mother's death. For many years I would do aerobics with her at TAC. She and your father were so much fun. My husband and I ran into them at Hot Springs one year at the track. Not knowing anything about horses, they were wonderful to share their "love" of the sport with us…..thus making it a great time for us.I took care of your father when he had his thoracotomy at St. Francis. He and your mother were such a wonderful couple. She always said that her time was his time. Now they can spend that time together again. Prayers for you and your family! She will be missed greatly!
Scott and family, My brother Mike, sister Jenny, and I grew up next-door to your family on Marion in Tulsa. We have all since moved away but have fond memories of a loving family next door. Your Mom was a good friend to my mother and they appreciated each other's lives and loved hearing about how the kids prospered and continued to grow. I wish to express my sincere condolences and know that your mother was a great source of joy and laughter as a neighbor and a friend.
