It is with deepest regret that my family learned of the passing of Mrs. Cogdill. We will definitely keep the Cogdill family in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. While I only met Mrs. Cogdill a couple of times, I was so impressed with her demeanor and kindness reflected in her behavior. She was a very sweet lady as is her husband, Bill.
My family also wants to thank the Cogdill family for their devotion and dedication to Providence Home. I am sure Mrs. Cogdill sacrificed many hours and evenings while Mr. Cogdill was serving the ministry.
May the Lord be with you all! God love ya!

I have many fond memories of your Mom back in the skating rink days. She was always such a pleasant person to be around and talk to. I am sorry for your loss and pray that God will comfort you in the days ahead.

To Bill and the Cogdill family,
My name is Billy Lide and I will be a stranger to most of you but I wanted to tell you all what a pleasure it was to know Kathy as a customer and as a friend. We met while I was overseeing the construction of her and Bill's house in Lexington. Kathy was always friendly to me and everyone she met. Her kindness could light up the room. For years afterward she and Bill would greet me in public and remind of the good times we shared. I am sorry for the loss to the Cogdill family, and to Bill in particular, but please comfort your sadness with the happiness that comes from knowing that heaven will shine a little brighter with her addition. Love and regards, Billy.
