Not sure what to say?

Oh Mary, I am so so sorry for your loss. It is always so hard to lose anyone, especially your mom. I see you in her.

So great to have someone like her watching over all of you from up above. All our love, thoughts, and prayers coming your way.

Dear Mary, Melissa, Sarah and all the relatives of Cosby Watson:
We remember that when we first became your next door neighbors in 1981, one of your concerns that you shared with us was wanting to help your mother adjust to recently becoming a widow.
We had no idea what an amazing life she had and what an amazing person she was. We can well understand you wanting to share her life story with so many.
With our love and prayers,
Prateep and Andrea Ghose

On behalf of the staff at The Manors, we want you to know we are thinking of your family and keeping you in our prayers. Cosby certainly was a special lady to all of us here. I loved the mornings I would come in early and she would be coming down the hall toward me in her long flannel gown and extend her hand to me holding out her bottle of coke to open. I called her "Willie Winkle" and always got a smile. She had a wonderful charm and grace to be admired. God Bless you all.

I have to be honest Nana kind of scared me a little bit but in a kind, loving sort of way. I could tell she wasn't the kind of lady you wanted to cross from the moment I met her. She opened her home on Higgins Lake to me as if I were one of her own and for that I will be forever grateful. Some of my most fond memories were spent at Nana's cottage. It was a priviledge to have know her.

Richard,Linda,Hannah,& Richard,
Cosby was truly an extraordinary woman.No doubt that she inspired many with her determination & strength. Our thoughts & prayers are with you all.

So sorry to hear of your mom's passing. Sounds like she was quite the woman. She will be greatly miss by a lot of people. You are all in my prayers.

The world has lost a wonderful woman, mother, friend and "do-er". Our world is dimmer than it was. She was a blessing and model we should all follow!!
