We will miss Cookie. We never seen him without a smile. He always talked and carried on a conversation with us. He knew a lot of our family members. I don't know exactly when I met him but I have known him for the most of my life. I am going to say since we were in our teens. As far as my husband he has known him since they were teens as well. Cookie never met a stranger. He would talk to anybody. He has always been kind and caring to us and our family. He would help a person anyway he could. He always aaked how everybody was doing. He always let us know if we needed him he would help us. We are very sorry for your loss and our prayers are with you all his family and friends.

I was deeply saddened to hear of your loss. I know it was so unexpected. You have my deepest sympathy. I am still in shock myself. Cookie was such a lovely person and so active and vibrant, which makes it even harder to comprehend his death. He had a heart that touched so many who came by his path of life I'm so glad now that I had years of my life and his to share
I have so many fond memories of him that will help me in my grief. My family and I enjoyed Cookie’s company so much and I will miss him dearly I want you to know that I share your grief.
In Deep Sorrow,
Mr. Lonnie Chamblee Sr., and Family
