Vicki Cobb

Two years have passed, but thoughts and memories of Vicki are vivid. What an amazing woman and amazing legacy! We will always remember you with love and admiration. And...your books given to my grandchildren are here awaiting the next generation. You will be pleased that one of the grands is an astrophysicist! I recall your conversations with him at Northshire Bookstore when he was three. We will always love you, Arlene

Last year I was filled with shock and sorrow. This year I have been remembering all the good Vicki had done over the years for the children of our country. She touched many with joy and curiosity through her unique methods of approaching science. Also, my thoughts are of Richard and our fun times in VT, always to be remembered. Good health and Happy New Year. Arlene

My sincere condolences to your family. I met Vicki in the PEN Children´s and Young Adult Books committee. She was always energetic and generous. I will miss seeing her.

I am so sorry to hear of Vicki´s death. She was an inspiration, a truly gifted thinker and writer and teacher. She was a wonderful friend. The world has lost a star!

I'm SO sorry to lose Vicki Cobb. However, what a legacy she leaves. Just think of all of the young lives she has enhanced with her extraordinary nonfiction books. My condolences go to her boys. Rest well, Vicki.

Vicki was the very best of friends. Always a delight to be with, she and I shared many years of fun and good deep conversations. We partied, skied, partied, talked, partied and shopped and laughed. Most weekends found us eating together at each other's homes. We both enjoyed cooking Northshire Bookstore was one of our favorite places. We both loved our times in VT and our husbands were the best of friends as well. She is remembered in my heart with love forever.

What a wonderful and inspiring author. Vicki made a difference in the lives of children and teachers through her gift of cultivating curiosity. The world is a better place because Vicki was here. I feel so much gratitude for her contributions and sadness to learn of her passing. Much love and strength to friends and family.
