Dear Cook Family: I wish to express my sincere condolences on the passing of your Mom. Mrs. Cook, as I called her, was a most kind, understanding and generous lady. Of course I had the opportunity to get to know your family and Mother through my many years of dating Linda, (somewhat older than me!) I have many fond memories at the Cook's home and want you to know that they were always the very best. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Sincerely, John Bilton
