Aunt Lorene was always so kind and sweet to me. She possessed a ‘gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.’ It was a blessing to know her.

Dear Mr. Cook, Karen & David, Ashley & Jeremy… you’ve been in our prayers every day, for some time now. We’re sorry for your heartache, Mrs. Cook is a precious lady.

We love all of you and will pray for you. I know the Lord’s goodness and mercy will be following you! Ps. 23.6 Michael and Leigh Funderburk
Dear Jeremy and Ashley. I know this must be a hard time for you. I’m sorry for your loss. I’ve been thinking of all of you. With love,
I want to express how much I will miss her. Lorene and Weaver aways made me feel welcome at Macedona, letting me sit with them on Sunday mornings, her sweet voice asking about Anna and Taylor. Her smile was contagious. God bless you all.
Our thoughts and prayers are with
you during this time.
May God and your memories give you comfort during this time. Love and prayers.
We are so sorry for your loss.

Karen & family –
I am so sorry to hear of your mother. I’ve been on vacation and didn’t know about it until now. The only comfort in a loved one passing (my father passed 1.5 years ago) is knowing where they are now. Don’t hesitate to contact me if I can help in any way.
