We had a lot of laughs, hugs and deep meaningful conversations that only you and I could ever share. We knew each other so deeply, I miss you everyday, you are my heart! I am the woman I am today because of you. You taught me how to survive mentally in a tough world, how to love unconditionally, to be loyal, strong and a hard worker. You taught me to be an Independent woman and that I am. No matter the time that has passed since you left us, I never forget the bond we had and never will. I am so blessed and proud to have called you MY MOTHER. No one in this world could ever love me like you do. I feel the capacity to care is the thing which gives life its deepest significance. Where ever you are... I know you know...Love you Momma

My Dear Auntie 'Retta, I hope you and my Nana are enjoying a well-deserved cup of tea together in Heaven...just like you used to. I will always remember you for your kindness and generosity of spirit. You were such a lovely soul with a beautiful smile who always made me laugh myself silly as a kid...and at a time when I didn't think I would ever laugh again. You will be sorely missed by your lovely children, grandchildren and all of us. Be sure to say hello to my Nana and Grampa for all of us. You were such a gift and I am so thankful to have known you. Love you, Your Niece, Francine

Aunt Loretta,

You gave me light during my darkest hour. You gave me kindness when all I felt was pain. You gave me hope that everything would turn out as it should. Auntie, you were so right! You are with your Lord now. You have enriched my life as no other. You will live in my heart and soul forever!

Nana, Your life was a gift to us, we know how much you loved us and we loved you. Though we will miss you, every time we think of you we will smile knowing you live within each of us. When the angels came and called your name, and took you by the hand, we knew you were safe and at peace. You will always live in our heart and soul. Though, a piece of our heart was torn when you left on your next journey, we know we will be together once again.
With sincere heartfelt love and sympathy,
Ron, Liz, T.J. & Krystle Cobb
