Ovid, and family, please know that Ms Cobb meant a great deal to me as she always found a way to make me laugh and treat me as one of her own. I'll treasure the memories of her playing cards with us, driving us to the bowling lanes, and rescuing us during our late night teen misadventures. I'm so glad I was able to reconnect with her recently and tell her I loved her. My prayers are with each of you.
