With great sadness I have to tell you that Cokie’s dad has passed away today.

He had sustained a few broken ribs a few weeks ago from a fall, which, unfortunately let his health deteriorate. Today he lost his short battle.

May he rest in peace.

I had the privilege of meeting him last October. I will always remember him fondly. He raised a wonderful daughter who I call a very dear friend. I so wish I could be there for her in person. My thoughts and prayers will be with Cokie and her family.
