Cook, Rita & Crumb

11/3/2005

We want to express our thanks for all of your prayers, cards, flowers, money, words of encouragemnet & condolences for the loss of Crumb's mom, Georgie. It was great to see how God held the family together in unity & how their love for each other overcame their many differences. Crumb did a wonderful job capturing Georgie's essence in his eulogy & also gave people much to think about as far as eternity goes. They have changed the graveside service to Sat. so he won't be back before Sun afternoon now & I may have to go get him if nothing else comes up. Please, keep praying for Cookie's grieving process & the rest of the family, but especially for Cookie. He is so heartbroken it is painful to watch.

We love you,

Love, Rita & Crumb & boys.

Happy birthday a lttle late, Marti! I was thinking of you on your day but the computer is finicky at times. We are all fine. Crumb's Creative Consulting is growing slowly. I'm still working 3 days a week at the doctor's office. Bernie is socking money away to buy a house. He and Deanna have split up. Chris has 4 A's & 2 B's so far this semester. He is doing ok budgeting money as he is now off campus & is working his way through. We provide a car & insurance & he is doing the rest for the most part. He will have a phone by Xmas so we can actually talk to him once in a while. Hope all are healing & enjoying their families.

Love ya'all, Rita & Crumb & guys
