Cookson of Garden, City; their children, Mark Cookson (wife, Elizabeth)  on Manchester, NH & Marlene Cookson Wallace (husband, Jay) of Brooklyn, NY; grandsons, Chase & Cole Wallace; as well as a large loving extended family and many supportive friends and neighbors, both local and in Massachusetts.
