The daughters of Olive "Carson" Cook invite friends and family to join in the celebration of their mother's 95th birthday. This will be December 18 at the Aberdeen Baptist Church Fellowship Hall between 2 and 4 p.m.

Mother would enjoy hearing from those who had Dad in school. No gifts; your presence is enough, or a card if you can't attend.

The family of Ada Cartwright would like to thank you for all the kindness showen to our mother throughout her illness; Morgantown Care & Rehab for the care given her throughout the ten years; for those who sent flowers, food and cards.  A special thanks is extended to Price Funeral Home and to Bro. Pete Phelps for the kind words spoken at her funeral.
