Burnice Cook Obituary

We miss you.♡♡♡♡♥♥♥♥

I know I did not get to know Mrs. Burnice for long but I do know how loving and caring her family is and how she showed an attitude of love everytime I meet her. I beileve she should be proud to have a family that is so filled with love and compassion. I remember when we took the trip to new york, she had fun for the last time and I was glad to be there and be apart of her last days spent upon this earth. I am happy to know that mrs. Burnice is gone home to meet her lord and saviour Jesus Christ. I want to say that she was a great person that always knew how to make you laugh and I am happy to have known her. Mrs. Burnice I know I have not known you that long but the times that I got to spend with you and your family I felt like I was apart. I will miss you and hope that I will see some day in the place that gad has prepared for us.

Dear Grandma,
You were a very special person to me. I love you very much and I think of you everyday. I can remember the joy you always brought to your family and to me and you will be truly missed by all of us. You are the best grandma there ever was and I will always keep you in my heart. I know you are in heaven smiling down on all of your family. I will always cherish you. I miss you and love you very much.
Love always,
Your Granddaughter, Kimberly Willis

I remember Bernice as being a fun and vivacious person. When dad's (Willard) family would meet at grandmother's house in Batesburg, the family would sit around the tiny living room and visit. Bernice's quick wit would keep the family in stitches for hours. She was beautiful, young at heart, and will truly be missed in the lives of those who were blessed to be touched by her love and friendship.

Burnice,
I loved you very much and always will. You are not gone, only in body but not in spirit. I remember all the good times you and Daniel, me and Norwood had the times we went to the mountains. I didn't lose a sister-in-law, I lost my best friend. We shared things that nobody else knows about.. I'll miss you and will always love you!!

Dear Moma,i,m sitting here thinking how pleased the Lord must be to have a Angel like you in heaven,,you defeated every temptation Satan threw at you,,with the armor of God around you he stood no chance at all,,how proud i am,,to be your baby son,,i miss you so much moma,,your smile,,your tender kisses and huggs,,tucking me in at night ,,hearing your sweet voice ,,saying i love you ,,i think and smile with great peace in my heart,,God saying, enter in to heaven my Faithful servent Burnice,,how proud i am,,mother,,,and like Uncle Willard has said by the grace of God I your baby son will see you again,,,we all miss you so much mom,,,pray for me,,,i love you so,,,Walter.

SIS, thinking back. I thought about when we went to see lavone and marie .mother,you and my self. and you had never been in a jet and we were on take off. and you grab me and ask what was going on and I told you every thing was all right that we were climbing and would soon level off .after that you were o.k. we sure had a good time. so much that I can think of , we would go in stores and try on hats and laugh it is a wonder that they did not run us out I think they were having fun watching us. I miss you sis. every one loved you so much. you were always the one that we never knew what you were going to do are say to keep us laughing.

In the behalf of my beloved sister Bernice, when God made her He threw the mold away. There was never another like her. She was given a personality that brought joy just to be around her. She always had something going on. There was never a time she did not show the love she had for her family and others. Like the rest of the family I have lost a part of myself that can never be replaced. I will miss her laughter, but I will, by the grace of God see her again and together we will once again enjoy those happy times.

Miss you Sis,
Big Brother (Willard)

mom, you know im not much on poems and such but only god knows how much i loved you. if i am here in this place we call a world for a day or forever every moment i think of losing you i will hurt and be empty.

Someone I met 52 years ago that came into my life and change it forever. You became my wife and became part of me. The dearest friend I ever had. The dearest mother I ever known. You gave me four wonderful children, Steve, Ronnie, Brenda, and Walter. But most of all she loved the Lord, then her children, and then me. Then the Lord called us into his ministry and we began to work side by side running revivals in the state of South Carolina and I attended bible school and then we were called into pastoral work at Gray's Church of God of Prophecy in South Carolina under the leadership of Fred Fisher. Then we went to St. Matthew's Church of God of Prophecy and then to Gloverville Church of God of Prophecy. Through the hard times I never heard her complain about anything. She would always say, "The Lord will work it out". But through all the hardships she always stuck by me, the good and the bad. Due to health problems we had to give up pastoral work, but we never retired we kept on working for the Lord until the end. After a period of illness, on June the 14th at 2:15 a.m. God seem fit to call her home to be with him. I know she is rejoicing around the throne of God and waiting on me.
Love your husband, Daniel.

Moma,
I love you so very much. I can always picture your smiling face everytime I went home. I always loved you playing with my hair and making me laugh over things that didn't even make sense at all. You always were a great mom to us all. No matter how much you were sick you were always there for us children. I know you are finally at peace with Jesus. I LOVE YOU MOM.

Mom,
You have been missed more than you will ever know.
You are the beautiful rose that God has bloom in our lives.
The Lord let us have you for 69 years but it was time you to go to the Father, He wanted you more.
But remeber you will always be missed but your memories will live on forever with us in our hearts. I will see you in Heaven.
Your baby girl, Brenda.

To Dear Sweet Burnice
You were our angel sent from above
You filled our family with your sweet love
Home was home because you were there
You spread your love everywhere
You opened your home and heart with arms open wide
You touched our hearts so deeply inside
God very recently called you home
The angels are rejoicing, but we're so all alone
You were so special to us and now there's an empty place
We miss you cutting up, putting a smile on our face
We know you're in Heaven bringing lots of joy there
We have you in our memories, in our thoughts you're everywhere
We know you're sharing some good times with our family who are up there with you
For they, like us loved you so much
too
Jesus needed someone special so He called you to live with Him
We're happy you're no longer suffering, we're glad your pain has reached an end
You will always be in our hearts, we will hold your memories dear
And holding on to Jesus' hand we have nothing to fear
For one day when He calls us home to live on Heavens golden shore
You will be there with arms open wide and Home will be Home once more.

Sadly missed by your friend and daughter-in-law Charla, son Steve, grandchildren Orion, Ryan, and Molly

Mother , If the Lord would have given me a quest to search the whole world over to find a perfect mother I could not have found a more perfect mother than you.You were the light of my heart. I will always love you and I know that you are with Jesus in heaven. I know that you are kneeling at your precious lords' feet asking him please don't let your children and grandchildren die lost. I know that you are enjoying the wonderful sights in heaven and that Jesus is walking by your side. When Jesus was talking to the multiudes and started teaching about the beattitudes. I know this verse was meant for you, Mother
Matthew 5:8
"Blessed are the pure in heart:for they shall see God."

Dear Aunt Burnice,
I don't even know where to begin. I am still in shock that you are gone, but I am comforted that you are in no more pain. I thank God for letting me have that dream about you and to be able to talk to you. I guess I just needed to be able to see you again, you were so happy and such at peace and don't worry everyone is taking care of uncle Daniel. I hope you know how much you meant to me and someday I'll be able to tell you. I am so grateful for all the wonderful memories that I have of you and all the fun we shared. It so hard to imagine not seeing you when we come to see everyone, but I will always hold a special place in my heart for you. I love you and look forward to the day we will see each other again. I love you always and forever!

Aunt Burnice,
I have sooo many fond memories of you. Unfotunately they are from long ago. I regret not seeing you in the past several years. I'm sorry..I would do anything to go back and change that.....just to be able to hug you and tell you how much i love you. I'm sure you knew that i loved you, just as i knew you loved me. When we would visit, i think we all looked forward to coming to your house. We knew there were some smiles and laughter waiting on us. You always treated us like we were yours. You were special to my entire family. I was blessed to have such a wonderful aunt. I thank God that i had you in my life. Although it had been awhile since i had seen you, i still thought about you and your family often. I can still picture you. You were such a beautiful woman and you always had that trademark smile on your face. I look forward to seeing that smile once more. I'll give you that hug thats been long overdue. Until then i'll be missin you!

Dear Aunt Burnice,
I was surprised at how empty and how painful it was for me when you passed away. I knew I loved you, but just how much...it blew me away. The memories of times spent with you when I was a child that came rushing back to me and the love you always showed me, literally broke my heart. Any time I'd visit - you always took me in, fed me, loved me and made me laugh! You brought so much joy to everyone who knew you and you are sorely missed. Your unconditional love for people, your passion for life and love of laughter made you invinsible in my eyes. I'm sure the laughter is great in heaven with you there! I'll treasure my memories of you for years to come. I love you!

Dear Mother,i think of you every second,,every hour of the day,,i miss you so very much,,Dad is very lonely,i look towards the eastern sky and see your sweet loving smile,,,,please ask the Lord to answer my pray and let you sit beside me just for a brief moment,, its so hard mom knowing that its you,,,gone,!,,i love you mother,,your baby son,,Walter,,i will see you again,,i love you so.very much.!

To Burnice, Beloved Sister:

I looked up to you when I was just a young girl. You were dating Daniel. I went on dates with you and have so many fond memories of you. I visited so many times with you when you and Daniel were first married. You were so special and was never short with me, even though I am sure I was the little pest. I looked up to you and you always shared so many personal things with me, some only I may know. That's just how close we were. I didn't get to see you a lot in your last years, but you were only a heartbeat away. I remember so many funny things but also some serious things. No one can ever take those memories away from me that only you and I shared together. I know that you are in heaven with your Heavenly Father and you are in no pain anymore. I will be with you up there one day. Hold my place! I will love you forever my Precious.

I only have memories of aunt Burnice laughing and smiling. She was joyful and was such a beautiful lady.

YOU ARE THE REASON.
written by Kim Willis (abt 2000)

You are the fragrance of a morning rain and the brightness of the sun.
You are the song every bird lives to sing and the reason each and every flower blooms.
Even though this sickness has fallen upon you, you are as strong as you were yesterday.
But my Father which is in Heaven will rescue you and heal you from this pain and once again you will be strong as you were yesterday. Yet in all of these things, you still manage to be my Grandma and because of this, all of my love that is within me reaches out to you! To Grandma. Love, Kim

Dear Grandma: I love you and I miss you very much. I will see you in Heaven. Love, Cheyenne
