KATE Age 76. Early Monday morning 9-5-2011, God took one of his angels home. God showed us all his patience by allowing many family members to gather in Surprise, AZ to say goodbye, before bringing her home to his arms. Kate's footprint on our lives will remain with us as an example of her faith, patience, forgiveness and love for each of us to try and emulate. May you rest in peace Gramma Cooke. Your passing fulfills Gods will. Our mourning exemplifies the blessing God provided us each with your presence. Kate is survived by her children Sherwood C. Vickers (Steve) of Rio Rancho, Madonna Bayham (Bob) of Surprise, AZ, Robert Cooke of Surprise, AZ, Brenda Sayles of Rio Rancho, Kim Long (Larry) of Albuquerque, and Elmer Cooke III ( Monica) of Albuquerque.
