Dearest John, Ismael, Alicia, Angelo and Phillip, You may not remember me but, many years ago your mother was my son's babysitter when we lived on Kennedy Blvd. CJ loved your mom, as well as, spending time with all of you. Food, music and liveliness was always found in your home. What fond memories I have of that time in my life. The tribute you wrote for your mother was very moving and beautiful just like she was. Cookie was a wonderful person and a great babysitter. We knew that CJ was in good hands once I turned around and the basement door closed. I am so sorry for your loss. Cookie has left a beautiful legacy with all of you. May GOD give you the strength to endure this pain and know that she is resting and smiling over all of you. With much love. Pura C.
