    Some on the forum may not know what was done and gifted to me during our GTG. Right after giving door prizes I was surprised and presented with the most wonderful book. It is beautiful and very professionally put together. So I went through and described to the folks about several pictures but it was not easy. I know I sort of choked up more than once and I've gone through it and shed many a tear while doing it. Also my son really broke up looking through it.

    This was the idea of one of the prettiest and gracious Queens we have on this wonderful forum and I would appreciate if anyone would compliment wildwest for doing this. She truly is a Queen and we have many Queens and Kings on this forum.

    Thank you wildwest and all who had a hand in this.


    This is the front of the book.

    This is the back cover and for some reason my son really broke into tears looking at this one.

    Oh My! It was an honor, thank you for trusting me with the pictures of your life together. Now how do I live up to all the compliments you showered on me? :)

    And yes, collaboration with input from so many here, true, many Queens and Kings on this wonderful forum.

    wildwest absolutely nailed it, she did a tremendous job! Special thanks to her for taking the time and making something so so special that touched the hearts of the Cook family.

    Unfortunately I've never had the honor and pleasure of meeting Judy, but somehow someway I just know she is looking down smiling. And somehow someway I just know she would have loved this book.....!
