Ms. Edna Cook, R.N., is my favorite cousin and a true role model. I
have many fond memories of my cousin Edna growing up. I remember
watching her preside at many Church programs. I can still see her
standing behind a church table in a striking suit and elegant hat. She
spoke so eloquently and powerfully.
The most powerful memory is of Edna's pinning ceremony. This was my
first time in a college setting. I was very impressed and the rest is
history…
