My Grandma Rice, has given me the inspiration and strength to see the many gifts God has blessed me and my children with. She gave me the courage to stay strong in my beliefs when times are tough. She loved me unconditionally, even thru my teen years when I struggled. She sent me little messages of love and faith, when I faced a divorce, She never past judgement only gave a smile and love. I will miss you Grandma. I love you.

I will always remember a special visit to Aunt Angie's house in the 1960's with my whole family. She was always very caring and kind to us all. She was my grandmother's sister. I will always feel a special connection to all of the Cookro's, and even though I never knew my grandmother, her family is very special to me. I have never encountered kinder people in my entire life. My condolences go out to all her surviving family members...she, and the rest of her brothers and sisters who passed before her will always have a special place in my heart. I grew up for awhile on her father's land in Akron...this is the most treasured time in my childhood. The stories of hardship they all endured, and how they all became such gentle wonderful people in spite of it all has always fascinated and inspired me throughout my life. And even though I sometimes fail, I have always aspired to be as much like them as I can. The do not make people like the Cookro's anymore, and I am very proud and pleased to have them in my heritage. Even though my grandmother passed away very young, they have always made my father and us feel like we very much belonged with them, and for that I am truly grateful. Even though my name isn't Cookro, I know that deep down, I am a Cookro through and through. God Bless you Aunt Angie, and Rest in Peace.

I always felt a special connection to Aunt Ange because of my name and she always made me feel special about our names too. Aunt Ange seemed to have a permanent smile. She was a wonderful person with abundant love to share. We all have a special Angel in heaven watching over us.

In loving memory of
