Dear Aunt Chris, Micky and Carla
We love you guys and we are here for you. Uncle Cookie was such a great man. I know that I looked up to him as a hero, someone who helped and did things for people. I admired his strength and compassion towards things. How blessed we are to have had him in our lives. Uncle Cookie is no longer suffering and he is reunited with his brother and parents and our father in heaven. May the memories you hold dear and the love and support from others around you help you thru this time. Let's celebrate his life.
We love you!
Jimmy and Terri

Natalie and I will both dearly miss the "Big Ragu" as we fondly called him. He was a great friend and firefighter who loved to fish and have fun. He enjoyed fishing in Kino Bay, Mexico with the guys and brought many hours of enjoyment to the both of us. We will miss his easy smile and laughter but know now that he is out of his suffering and beside the lord.

We extend our condolences to Chris, Mickey and Carla and to his extended family.##imported-begin##Tom and Natalie Parlett##imported-end##

Dear Chris,
I was so sorry to read of Roy's passing. Although it's been many years since you and I worked for Dr. Bankler together, I never forgot you or Roy, and what a wonderful couple and team the two of you were together. I could always see the love.
Roy was a good man, kind and funny. I will always remember hearing about his fishing trips with the "guys" and the huge tamale cook fests you two would have yearly. God Bless him along his new spirtual journey, and may you find peace and hope in knowing that you will see him again one day. Roy may be physically gone now, but he took your love with him, and left his, just for you. It is the invisible tie that will bind the two of you together forever, until the day you are reunited in heaven. God Bless you Chris, have faith, and try to find comfort in knowing that Roy is alive in spirit, doing whatever God has planned for him. He is at peace.

Love,
