  • Mrs. Cobban was a kind lady and I always enjoyed my conversations with her. My thoughts are with her family.

  • Millie and I met during my visits to bring her Eucharist at John Scott. I always enjoyed our chats, she loved her family so much and always spoke so highly of them. She had a strong faith in our Lord. She enjoyed caring for her plants and tried to look on the bright side. I was fortunate to be able to spend a couple of hours by her bedside the day she passed. I’m sure there was a celebration in heaven when she was reunited with her loved ones. My condolences to her family, hoping your memories bring you comfort.
