Ms. Cookie my sweet neighbor ❤️. You were my neighbor but a friend. Your memory will last forever in my heart and mind. Your smile Your warmth and your love will with me forever. So many memories of you and your family, growing up in our apartments smelling your food and your Special empanadas you would always give me, I remember going into your house as a kid and you would make a fresh batch, you would say come and get some and take some home..😢😢. Glad I got to meet you and grow up around you. Thank you and RIP...

Miss Cookie,

You did so much for our family and I have never forgotten that. Separated by a common wall, you were there always to ensure we were okay.  You were always so kind and warm to all of us and cared for my brothers and I. You always said your “hellos” and you always gave us a hug when we saw you. You held such a piercing smile whenever we saw you. Thinking back on it now, I know my excitement and happiness to see you was because you made me feel safe. It was a basic need of ours you met with such love and always held space for our own autonomy.  You made sure we had some of your yummy food in our bellies at all times. I cannot deny where my love for “carne seca” stemmed from. It was from you, your home and magical cooking hands. Although my Spanish was not as fluent as I had liked it to be as a child, you always communicated with me with a smile, hug, and food. Simple acts of kindness and selflessness in fact was all the communication we needed with one another. Your presence still lingers at the Madison apartment, when ever I come home to visit my parents I can still smell your perfume by the stairs. As a child we are consumed with other things than deep thoughts  of appreciation and honor. Today, as an adult, now 37, I am reminded of how simple acts of kindness and compassion and empathy can help young ones through life and even leave such an imprint in minds  in the same manner as you have in mine. Miss Cookie, thank you for loving my family and brothers in the way you did. The memories, appreciation and warmth is forever held close to my parents, brothers and I. Thank you for showing love and kindness to all us kids at the Madison apartment. We will miss you dearly. 

Forever in our hearts,
Amy Otero and Otero Family 


I remember my Tia Cuquiz always greeting you with a tight hug and contagious smile. As well as her Infamous perfume scent of Maja.
XOXO

Muchos recuerdos bonitos cuando vivi con ella en mi año escolar de sexto grado. Recuerdo el día que vino a mi boda y fue cuando conoció a su esposo Miguel.  Mi mas sentido pésame para su esposo, hijos y familia. Con cariño Laura Elena Landeros Salcido
