From the Daily Press - 05/17/15:   

Sunday, May 17, 2015   Love you Macy, and will miss you dearly. Love Midge and Susan ~ Midge/Susan Quinn, Hampton, Virginia Sunday, May 17, 2015     Rubin, I have very fond memories of your mom. I lived on Ramsey Court for many years, and I worked at the nursery, as well as I had my daughter there for a while. Your parents were always very kind to my family. I lost my mother in January, so I know the pain you are going through. Remember the memories and that will help you through the sad times. Above all, please know how much your mother loved you. You were the light of her life and she was very proud of you. ~ Joyce E. Robertson, Hampton, Virginia   Sunday, May 17, 2015     I attended Cook's Day Nursery and School 50 years ago. It was an awesome facility and I have many fond memories and pictures from the special activities that they provided for us.  RIP, Mrs. Cook. You and your family and staff were very special in the lives of many. ~ Ruth Gungle, Virginia Beach, VirginiaContact Me   Sunday, May 17, 2015   Heaven has another Angel. May you rest in paradise. ~ Scott and Kandie White, Hampton, Virginia Contact Me   Sunday, May 17, 2015   Aunt Macy had me at her day nursery and school since I was born in 1961. We had many family get togethers at her house, and a lot of the school, playground, and furnishings have been left unchanged after all of these years. I used to run into her and Uncle Reuben for the past three years eating out for either lunch or breakfast at both Hardee's or Hot Dog King, and you would never find these two too far apart from the other. They were two of the hardest working people I have ever seen, and I can only offer cousin Reuben Jr., and his dad Reuben Sr., the peace, solitude, and love that only can be found through family support at this time. I will truly miss Aunt Macy. She was a very strong and stern woman who taught us all that with a little hard work, you can accomplish anything you wish to in life. ~ Frank Ottofaro Jr., Hampton, Virginia   Sunday, May 17, 2015     I went to school there. I worked there later for 3 years. I loved and deeply respected her.   ~ Jean Harris, Roanoke. Rapids, North CarolinaContact Me     Monday, May 18, 2015   I   ~   Monday, May 18, 2015   T   ~   Monday, May 18, 2015   O   ~   Monday, May 18, 2015   R   ~   Monday, May 18, 2015 I ~ Monday, May 18, 2015   I ~

   Our deepest sympathies are extended to Macy's family and friends at this difficult time.

  Y'all take good care of each other!  TYPHOONS FOREVER! We'll Always Have Buckroe!

                          Love to all, Carol

Music (Bethany) by Lowell Mason (08 Jan 1792 – 11 Aug 1872), 1856

Nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee!
E'en though it be a cross that raiseth me,
still all my song shall be,
nearer, my God, to thee;
nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee!

Though like the wanderer, the sun gone down,
darkness be over me, my rest a stone;
yet in my dreams I'd be
nearer, my God, to thee;
nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee!

There let the way appear, steps unto heaven;
all that thou sendest me, in mercy given;
angels to beckon me
nearer, my God, to thee;
nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee!

Then, with my waking thoughts bright with thy praise,
out of my stony griefs Bethel I'll raise;
so by my woes to be
nearer, my God, to thee;
nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee!

Or if, on joyful wing cleaving the sky,
sun, moon, and stars forgot, upward I fly,
still all my song shall be,
nearer, my God, to thee;
nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee!
