Wow Looking through my photo gallery seeing all the photos and videos of Samantha “Cookie Tookie” James, my friends and I took when she spent the weekend with us in Chicago and East Chicago, Indiana 7 years ago. She met my mother who loved her videos. We all show her a good time and hug her with lots of love and positivity. Her spirit was full of life and it saddens me that 7 years later she is no longer here. Rest up Cookie Tookie 🙏🏽
