Mabel Cobane

Lynn & Janet - know our thoughts and prayers are with you now. You both know how fond my mother was of her Aunt Mabel. I wish I had lived closer to know her more, but it was though I was close in talking with Mom and you two all these years and knew her more through all of you. I know it aint right to tell you everything will get better soon as I have been thru this before, so I will be straight up and tell you only time will heal your wounds, knowing your Mother is in the better place,...

Janet, Lynn, and Family: Today I was looking at two of Mabel's watercolors: "The Villas," and the one she did of our house when it was still pink--we called it salmon, but it really was pink. I cherish those two paintings, the long phone chats, the letters, the visits, and this year's Christmas card with the beautiful photo of the snow, birch trees and Lake Leelanau. I feel blessed to have known Mae, and I'm so thankful for the happy years she and my father had together.

Lynn and family: Along with sadness for your loss may you feel relief that Mabel is now in God's loving, gentle care. She is now one of His special angels looking down and smiling upon us.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well-lived.
