My sincerest condolences to my precious friend Clarissa and the family of Mr. Melvin L Cook. I only met him once. But it felt like I knew him well because of the way Clarissa talked about her big brother almost every day. He was a great brother to Clarissa and uncle to Jasmine. I always admired how Clarissa praised her brother and the bond they shared. To all of the Cook family, may the memories you retain be as loving and kind as Clarissa spoke of him. May God bless you with His peace. I pray as the days move forward that the happy times come to your hearts and mind. I pray for your warmth and comfort in God. Blessings!!!
