Sometimes you run into a person who is just good for you and good to you. Rev. Cooks and his family was and still is, keeping me above troubled water. Though we wanted him to stay with us, he already knew he was heading through the golden gate. The family can rejoice because Jesus, Our God and the Holy Spirit sent him a message saying, "well done, good and faithful servant." Rev. Cooks put up a good fight, left us with encouraging words from the lips of Paul in his letters from Corinthians, lived by the golden rule of doing unto others what he which others would do unto him. He has already preached his own sermon and there are no words that can be said other than, he did what was right. The family knows how much he loved his family and friends. So, I want to say to them, don't grieve too long. Cry if you must but smile knowing that he is already with his father in Heaven and my, my, he is having breakfast, lunch and dinner with Mrs. Essie Pearl Cooks and Rose C. Jackson. You are loved by me, James, Shirley, Evelyn, Ronnie, Jerome, Stanley and names attached to the above. Love, Idella, Thomisha, Norchez, Herron, Norquela and Navae.
