Dear Maud, Anita, and Carolyn,
I read of Dr. Coggs's death in this Sunday's IJ and I was so touched that you reached out to all your friends in Marin in this way. He has been a lifelong inspiration to me and the time I spent as part of the family has enriched me in untold and unfathomable ways. I loved seeing Granviille and Maude a few years ago when they came to church to share their experiences with us. In some way I feel I have lost another parent.

Please accept my condolences on the passing of Dr. Coggs. He was an amazing man! Our family was so pleased and honored to have you and Dr. Coggs as guests at Charlie's birthday party.

So sorry we loss A GREAT ONE.

The Coggs family do not know me, but in reading Dr. Coggs' obituary, I was inspired to send condolences to each of them as well as an affirmation of how impressed I was with this man's life and contributions. I read obituaries each day, and, although many of those tributes reflect admirable lives, Dr. Coggs' life impressed me as SUPER-ADMIRABLE. I clipped his obit from the paper and am sending copies to my adult children. More than ever do we need people whose lives inspire all of us --...
