Mrs. Cook was my piano teacher from 5th grade through high school. She was the one who told me about Music Therapy, saying that it would combine my love for music and my working well with people. I have been a Music Therapist for 29 years now. She also was my mother's long time friend, sharing their love for water color painting. I am grateful that she had a good and long life, passed peacefully and was a part of our lives. God bless you, her family, and may you have peace knowing that she touched many lives, helping some find their paths in it.
