I received this notice today that the guest book for Dianne Cobb was ending on March 30th. I cannot believe that a full year has passed already. For me, it seems like just yesterday, but for the family, I'm sure it has been the longest year of your lives. You have had to get over "every first" everything....first Mother's Day, Thanksgiving, birthday, and Christmas. And now, the last hurdle, the anniversary. My hope and prayer for this family is that you are healing and gaining strength each day that passes. I know Dianne would not want any of us to have a day that we didn't smile. Every time that i saw that girl, there was that bright smile!! May God bless each of you during this time.

I just learned of Dianne's passing when I came to Tybee for the pirate festival. I always go to the Dunes to get a hug and say hello. I was in shock when I was told of her death. I have known her for years and always stayed at the Dunes Inn because of her. She called me her nurse friend. We have a conference in March every year and she would always book our rooms for us. She was one of the sweetest people I have ever known. She had a kind heart and I will miss her. To her family, I Would just like to say that she was a blessing to have known. She was truly an angel on this earth. I will always remember her and her sweet soul. May God bless your family and I am so sorry for your loss.

To Ryan, Lauren, and Mr. Cobb family, I am so sorry for your lost. I did not here about this, and just found it while searching for Ryan online. Mrs. Dianne and the Cobb family showed me nothing but love growing up. Ryan and I would be together nearly everyday at either the Cobb's, the Davis', the Atkinson's or at the Oliver's house. Mrs. Cobb, you will be missed. You are with our Lord and Savior now. Thank you for all of the love you gave to me and everyone else. Xavier Oliver

My heart goes out to all of you in the unexpected loss of Dianne. While I haven't seen Dianne in a number of years, my thoughts went back to our school days at SVA when football games, dances, Tybee, friends etc. meant the world to us. She always made us laugh, her warm smile not only lit up her face but had a way of making us all feel better. May your family find comfort in knowing Dianne will be remembered by all of us who were lucky to have known her. My deepest sympathy to all of you!

To: The Family,

I feel as if I knew Dianne, my husband Melvin(a truck driver) spoke fondly of her just being an all-around nice person. She was always full of life, displaying “first rate customer service” when processing his truck loads in and out of Georgia Ports Authority. Hold on to precious memories and she will live forever in your hearts. May God bless you now and always,
