To Cookie's family and especially Candice,



Cookie was and always will be special to me and my family. No matter how much time would pass between our visits, we always would find friendship and laughter in each other. My one brother and Cookie were best 'buddies' when they were younger and I called him with the news as he lives out of state. Louie was very saddened by the loss of an old dear friend. I am sure Cookie is looking down on us now, with that beautiful smile of hers. She will always be remembered fondly. Candace, I hope you find comfort in knowing how many people were touched by your mom, and how many people will be there for you to help you get though this difficult time.



With friendship and love always,

Linda DeBartolo-Picardi

To your whole family,

I wish you the deepest sympathy in your great loss. My brother (Jim Gineris) dated "Cookie" as I knew her and I always liked her very much. Though I hadn't seen her for quite a long time, I am truly saddened by her passing. May God be with all of you.

Words cannot explain what I am feeling in my heart. Everyone knows the relationship I had with Cookie was more than special. We have been at each others side from 1st grade.

I thank God for the opportunity to spend last week with my cousin, and share what was in our hearts. The emptyness I feel in my heart, and soul will never be replaced.

My heart goes out to our family, and friends. Candice, whatever you need, whenever you need it, just call. See ya later Cuz.



I love you all,

Cuz

My thought and prayers are with you at this time. Cookie and I were good friends during grade school at Lindop. She was always a beautiful person, inside and out.

Ann, Candice,Gloria,Angela,and Angelo:



Candice tracked me down this morning with the news that Cookie had passed away.

To tell you all I am devastated by this would be a huge understatement.



Every person has a "first real love" in their lives and Cookie was mine.

Even after our personal lives took very different paths we would somehow find ourselves years later sitting together laughing and still having that same old closeness.

She was someone who I cared for deeply and she always made me feel the same.

I cannot find the words to describe my level of sadness so I will just wish all of you peace and my deepest sympathies.



My times spent with her were always filled with love, laughter, and great joy.

Cookie will live in my heart forever as someone who captured it and made my life much happier.



I will see you all on Thursday.

All my love to all of you,



Jim

Please accept my deepest sympathy. Cookie and my brother dated when they were in high school. I remember her as a sweet and smiling teen. Last year I ran into her at a concert and after all the years that had gone by she still had that great smile. My thoughts are with you at this difficult time.
