My condolences to my Okie Auntie's family. The sorrow at the loss of a mother is one of life's deepest. I was not able to spend much time with her, but what I learned from my mother and her e-mails was that she was a person of immeasurable kindness, understanding, forgiveness, and she was able to pass all of this to her children. She was a Homemaker! She will be missed.
My Grandma was unlike anyone else I have ever meet. She showed me how to be a Christian and a loving human. She did it all just by allowing my cousins and me to watch the way she interacted in this world. She never lost her temper, never gossipped, never had a negative thing to say about anyone. She listened when we talked, and even when there were nine, or more of us at her house, she made you feel special. She always had the goodies to eat, and made sure you went home with a snack. She was so patient, with all the loud children running cirles in her house. She loved so much, she made quilts for grandchildren, and she had lots of grandchildren. She made baby blankets for the great-grandchildren. She was happy with what really matters in life, and willing to help whenever she could. She is reunited with her loving husband, and she can rest.
Aunt Roberta was one of the sweetest ladies I've ever known. Including my Mom and her other sisters. I am so sad to have lost my last Aunt and I know her large family in Broken Arrow are all very grieved.Elmerson of Viola
Dear family, I am so very sorry to hear of Mrs. Cook's passing. I always enjoyed waiting on her at AVB Bank. I pray God's blessings on each of you.
All my life Mrs. Cook was there; I guess we moved to town in 1955 and she and Mr. Cook (I never knew their first names until I was married and had moved away) were our neighbors and it just seemed like all my life the Cook family was there. Our family is heartbroken for the Cook family. What a wonderful family they are. God Bless and keep each of you.
