Dear Szakacs Family,



Please accept our deepest sympathy.

Cookie will be missed. I'll have no one to commiserate with about the long drive to work. Every week Cookie would remind me how much she missed the drive to Downers Grove. We even saw each other on I-294. Our world will be a little dimmer without her light!



God Bless. . . . . Endre and Linda

The Long family is very sad to hear of Auntie Cook's passing. I always appreciated spending holidays with her when our family was separated by work. She will be sorely missed. Love from Jamie, Karen & Katie Long

To Cookies's family. I am a member of Cookie's bowling team and have bowled with her for a few years. She will be dearly missed by many. I am in Florida and won't be able to attend the funeral but wanted to express my sincere condolences and prayers for Cookie and to her family.

Ken/Irene and everyone,

We were sorry to read of Cookies passing, I don't know if I ever knew her real name. We still drive thru the old neighborhood in East Chicago and talk about the early years and the good times we had growing up. We wish we could be there to visit with everyone.

Our prayers are with Cookie, family and friends at this time.
