Dr. Cooke,
I wanted to thank you for being such a wonderful professor. You were my very first college professor, and what I remember most about your class is that you forced us to think and to be open to the different ideas and thoughts of others.
I pray that you will be blessed with a quick recovery, both physically and emotionally.

Dr. Cooke, It is so good to have seen you, and finally meet you. The circumstances were unusual, but hey i got to meet you. I must say you do great with that wheelchair, don’t get used to it, it is only a convience for now, god has better plans of tranporting you later on, for now use it well and enjoy it. You never know when you will have the ability to show someone else the tricks you learned while using the wheelchair. You are an amazing example to the University and this community, I pray that you let the Lord lead you and heal you. Love Donna LUTZ

From Day 1, my prayer for you has been for a complete healing free from complications that would impede your progress. Your strength, wisdom and vitality are such treasures. May God multiply your blessings and hold you close until you are completely healed.
