Feisty, fastideous, fun, fancy and above all else - faithful. Through the decades we exchanged recipes with ingredients not only for a good dish but also a good life. My sister-friend knew and loved the Lord and we take comfort in knowing her raptured soul has found rest. God bless and keep all who are mourning this tremendous loss. Always- Laura Cooper and family
