Cook family, so sorry for your loss. I called Carol (Havana) when we grew up on Smith Creek. Havana's family lived across the road from me. We went all through school together. Remembering your family brings back good memories. Lebert and Alfa I am so sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Love Loretta Pratt Harless
