The news of Dr. Anna Coble's passing was received with deep sorrow, and I'd like to extend my most sincere sympathy to her immediate family and loved ones. Dr. Coble was my godmother -- known affectionately as "Aunt Anne," Her warmth, colorful descriptions of things, and sense of humor will be missed by me and my family. She really did have the BEST laugh and a heart full of warmth... and was loved by all. May she rest in peace.

It is with deep sorrow and sympathy to hear that my friend and co-worker Dr. Anna J Coble has past on to glory. Please know that she is loved and missed dearly. It was just three weeks ago I saw Dr. Coble waiting downstairs for her ride when I hugged her and gave her a kiss on her cheek. I told then that it will be ok and to just trust and believe in the Lord. I am delighted that I had that chance to show her that I loved her. God, I thank you for Dr. Coble.
