Karen,
So sorry to hear of your fathers death. My prayer and thoughts are with you during this difficult time.
He will be missed, I grow up across the street from him and when he walked to the mail box he would always whistle and I still remember it to this day!!! and then I would stand in the yard and holler ‘Hey Mr. Cook and he would just wave!!! He will never be forgotten…
Karen and Family,
Upon reading the net obits we were so saddened to learn of Weaver’s passing. Weaver was a true, honest, Christian friend and will be greatly missed. Lorene was one of Mother’s dearest, most beloved friends and still speaks of her often.
Your parents were so very proud of you and loved you so very much. They will be missed by many but oh the joy of standing on God’s promises to one day be reunited with them is a promise we look forward to.
Daddy would have attended the funeral had he known. Sadly Mother’s declining health prevents getting out much.
You and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers. May you feel the comfort and peace only Jesus can provide during this difficult journey.

I am so sorry for your loss. Weaver was such a dear, sweet man and I will miss seeing his smiling face in church or seeing him sitting on his front porch and waving as I passed by. What wonderful memories I will carry of he and your sweet mom. They are now reunited and rejoicing with our Lord and Savior. Earth’s loss is Heaven’s gain.
May God hold you in the palm of His hand and give you peace and strength in the coming days. Sending my love & prayers.
Love
