"Chuck and Family, Words can't describe my heartfelt sorrow for all of you. Your Mother was one of the kindest women I have ever had the pleasure to know. Please know that I will never forget her loving heart and caring demeanor. She was very special to me, and I praise God that you, your Mom and your family came into my life in 1973. God Bless You, and may he wrap his tender loving arms around all of you. Jeff Cook CHS Class of 1976"
