I sent $20 to your campaign to fight brain cancer, and I am sorry I could not send more. I am one of your 'older' fans , and I am on disability, so my funds are limited.
I was blessed to see you in concert at Harding in Searcy AR, and was blown away - thank you so much for coming, thanks for your talent , and for your heart for others. You are a fine man.....!
I hope I get to see you again---
God bless you and your family during this time...

David,
I want to thank you for your courage in the face of your personal tragedy. My son watched you last season on American Idol and knew your story. I took him to see you when the American Idols tour came through Atlanta. When you spoke of your brother at the show, my son listened with tears in his eyes because we had just found out the week before that our dog, Sam, had liver cancer. Please don't be offended by the comparison - that dog meant everything to my son. The next morning my husband asked about the show and my son replied "Did you know that David Cook's brother has cancer? His brother has a terrible disease like mine does. Now I know how he feels."
Our dog lost his battle back in February and my son has been asking about Adam frequently. He was very sad to hear the news this weekend. Your courage gave an eight year old boy someone to look up to and identify with during a very difficult time for him. For that I will always be grateful to you.
Our thoughts and prayers remain with you and your family.
David,
I just wanted to add one more condolence, cause that is all we can do to let you know how sad
we are for you and your family. I am so proud of you that you were able to attend that race and
still lend your support. It was the right thing to do, although I am sure it was tough to keep going
at the time. You have shown us what a caring person you are once again. God bless you and
your family. We all are praying for you and for a cure for cancer. I am a cancer survivor, as is a
very dear friend. It is truly harder to be on the side that you don't know how to fight for you loved
one. I know, I have been on both sides.
Much love and prayers are with you,
Phyllis

David and family
I was so very sorry to hear about the loss of your brother. I know he meant so much to you. He saw you all the way through your challenges on American Idol. Those had to be some very special moments for both of you.
I also lost a loved one from cancer. I know the suffering they go through and also the suffering that those of us who are left behind deal with on a daily basis. You have an angel watching over you and a very special angel.
Again, you and your family are in my thoughts. I wish for you God's speed and strength as you face these difficult times ahead. Take care.

David,
I have always defended my obsession of you to family and friends by stating that "I admire him". Never has this been more true. You have repeatedly proven that you deserve my admiration. I love your music, but not as much as I love your character. Please know that you made Adam's life so much richer. As you truely have enriched my life.

I heard about the fact only a few hours ago and I still don't believe it. It's so sad and I really can't find any words to say other than I'm with my heart next to you to try to console you, Andrew, your parents,...
I had lost my grandma for a cancer too like less then ten years old ago.. I don't remember very well because I was like 7/8 but I've seen, again, the pain in my mother's eyes after she has known from me about the lost of Adam and I'm sure that she has thought about what she has passed for a long time after that fact and how do you feel right now, David, and how it's hard to go on and to believe in the future and in the world around you.
Adam will protect you and your family by heaven, he will always be along you in your way and in the Andrew's one.
You're a wonderful, sensitive and strong person. I hope that the smile will come back soon at all of you, dear
Really heart-felt wishes to you David and your family,
Alice
I am sure your brother is happy to know that you followed your dream and I saw in his face that he was so proud of you. The love that you two share will always be with you and keep remembering he is in your heart and in the words you sing always. My thoughts are with you and your family at this sad time. Keep your head high and keep reaching us with your music.
