Not sure what to say?

Today is All Saint's Day and I cannot see a better than a new Saint than Bobbi. I knew of the Cobb's because of her son, Drew in school and the swim team. When my boyfriend and I visited Carter and Bobbi in the 1980's. Carter could not speak but Bobbi kept the conversation, jokes and advice between all of us. She knew exactly what Carter was thinking and was so loving and friendly. It was a beautiful sight.. As I went through 20 plus years married with that boyfriend, I always...

On my first visit to Mrs. Cobb's "spa" she left a mint on my pillow. She was masterful at enjoying life and had a gift for making things special. It was such a blessing to have spent time dining "al fresco" with Mrs. Cobb and her wonderful family. Those times together will always rank among my happiest memories.

In the short time I was able to be her friend, could not of ask for more of a special person to be part of my life. She will be missed. May she give you all the strength in your time of sorrow.

Last spring I had the pleasure of meeting Bobby and sharing dinner with the Cobb family. What a treat to spend time with this special clan who knows how to have fun and especially how to love. Bobby and the Colonel have left a wonderful legacy that ripples far and wide in their children.

We met Bobbie in church at PAFB when we retired here six years ago. She was always a bright spot in our lives every Sunday and she will sadly missed.

Mrs. Cobb was a study in humanity and caring. I know that she now has a special place in the beyond that many of us will not share. Her dedication to her husband during his illness is above reproach and her care of all those around her is to be admired. Bobby you are with Carter now, rest and enjoy eternity...you have earned it.
