Ted, Geoffrey, Tedra and families, So sorry to hear of your great loss. Her tremendous courage and words of wisdom will be missed by all. My thoughts are with you at this difficult time. Angela
Barbara is the sister of my heart, and now we will speak through our hearts.
You all know how I feel. She was a gift to those who had the honor of knowing her. A terrific woman and friend.
Sincere condolences to the Cobb Family from the Maier Family at 40 Wheatstone Circle, Fairport.
I'm sorry to hear the news and I extend my sincere condolences to all the family - especially you, Ted.
I have 'lost track' of you over the years. Please know that though we are not in communication all the time both of you are often thought of with very warm regards. Ted, please accept my deepest & warmest sympathies in Barb's passing. We should have seen more of each other over the years! May God bless & keep you.
Sending our love, thoughts, and prayers to all of you... Bill and Jean Keplinger
Dear Mr. Cobb, You were my 5th Grade mentor teacher during my student teaching days at Dudley. I remember loving to hear about your family. And, distinctly recall the smile you had on your face and heart when you spoke of your wife. I am sorry for your loss and wish you and yours peace during this difficult time.
Barbara was truly a woman of light and life. My thoughts are with you. Valerie
Tedra and Family: I was saddened to hear of your loss. My deepest condolences to you and your family. Jason Pfotenhauer
You were loving role models for us. We remember fondly special times spent at your home and Sand Lake. Prayers from Jackie & Ron Morris
Ted, we are so sorry for your loss. We so enjoyed the great years of Scouting with your family.
Dear Ted and family, So sorry to hear about Barb. We have many fond memories of her. We didn't know you had moved to Potsdam. Our best thoughts go out to you and your family. Janeen and Bob Marquez
Ted, we are sorry for your loss. Barb was a special lady. May your family find peace.
Although I never met Barbara personally, I remember being amazed and inspired by the story Tedra told at a Renewal House dinner several years ago: how she and Ted adopted all five siblings of a family, because they felt that the kids needed to stay together... because it was the right thing to do. I also grew up in a family like that, so I know what a legacy that is! I am so sorry to hear of Barbara's passing.
I had the privilege of teaching with Barb and with Ted. I had the joy of getting to know some of their children. May God Bless Barb, Ted, and the entire Cobb family. John Baynes Fairport High School
Ted, Geoffrey, Tedra and families, Barb's laughter and love lit many dark moments in many lives. Her compassion has given us all strength. May we continue her legacy. My heart and prayers are with you.
My thoughts and prayers are with Barbara's family. I did not know her personally but I am friends with her daughter Melissa. I know she will be missed. I regret I never met this wonderful lady.
Twenty years of memories-- tender moments of sharing, laughing, crying. What a wonderful friend. Blessings for you Ted and children all.
The entire Cobb family helped me get through my teenage years. Mrs. Cobb always encouraged me in music and worship music is still a major part of my life. I'm sure she blessed so many people in her lifetime and she will be missed by many. I do smile at the thought that she is worshipping WITH her savior now--hallelujah
I was shocked and saddened to learn of Barbara's passing. Compassionate condolences are hereby conveyed from me to you. May each family member and friend be comforted by God's loving presence. Sincerely, Mailman Jerry
My sympathies to all the Cobbs--she was a special lady and I know she will be missed. Love from all The Richard Freys
Ted, I am so sorry for your loss. When we all started out in NATC those years ago, it was evident from the beginning that you and Barb were a pretty special couple. She was a special lady ready with a smile and so talented, but you and her children were the whole world to her. She will be missed. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
I send my deepest sympathy in your families loss. Anyone who knew Barb was touched by her gentle Christian spirit. It was my sincere pleasure to have known and to have worked with her. I have many fond memories of her , all with that brilliant smile shining through. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Dear Ted and family, We were so sorry to hear about your wife/mother from your brother's e-mail. She must have been a truly wonderful person and I'm sorry I never got a chance to meet her. I am Jackie Wilson, your Uncle Bill's second wife. He is your mother's brother who was 90 years old last August. He is doing well, but not able to fly at this time. Maybe we will get a chance to meet you one day in the future. God bless you and your family. Bill and Jackie
Ted and family, Thoughts of Barbara have been playing like pictures in our heads - her smile, full of joy, her voice ringing out over the church (and at our kids weddings), the huge hat that only Barbara could wear on Easter Sunday, the laughter, the faith, her willingness to put herself out for others. She was quite a woman - a gift from God to all who knew her. We have been richly blessed by her presence in our lives over the years. We will be praying for all of you as you continue to reflect on her life. May the God in whose arms she now rests, bring you peace and comfort.
Ted and Family, We're very sorry to hear of Barb's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. We've missed seeing you and Barb. The neighborhood isn't the same without your family!
Ted, Jeff and family Our thoughts are with you ned,deb, andy and our crew of pets Cliff, Shy, Tedy, Socks, and Finkle
Ted and family, I am sorry to learn of Barb's passing. She was a wonderful woman and friend. She enriched my life and the lives everyone who knew her. I was truly blessed with her friendship. I know there is a special angel in God's keeping, who is enriching heaven.
Ted, We are so sorry to hear of Barb's passing. We know there are no words to truly comfort the loss that you must feel. If there were ever two peas in a pod, it was you two. Trust that Barb is always in God's care. In deepest sympathy, The Fiesingers
Ted and Family, There are no words to heal your pain. My memories of being at the Cobb household with all the kids are so fun filled. Your wife/mom was a wonderful caring women. She will be greatly missed. Find comfort in knowing that she is at peace and will be with you all forever.
Dear Ted and family, I was sad to learn that Barb had passed away. She was a very special teacher,mother, and human being.My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Surely,we loved Barb. We will never forget the times we spent together in prayer,song & "gab fests" laughing, kidding each other& trying to make sense of our own and the world's problems. She will remain with us always. We love you Ted and all the "Cobbies"
Ted, Tedra, and family - I am deeply saddened to hear of your loss. Though our paths crossed so very briefly, I remember Barb as being one of the most vivacious and inspiring members of NATC. May God grant her peace, and you comfort at this time.
We love all of you and are so sad to see her go. We have many wonderful memories of visiting the lake, holiday dinners and just visiting and talking. We will certainly miss her! Much love to all of you..... Robin and family
Oh Ted, Ted, Ted--and Tedra and Geoffrey. How shocked I was to see the notice of Barb's death in the Rochester paper. And what a stunning picture of a great lady! I so remember my early meeting with you both in my Short Story class--how many years ago?...and how you read the stories to each other in bed. And your warm, loving spirit that welcomed me many times to Sand Lake and the clean-up morning fritatta. And on another visit,Geoffrey catching fish for my breakfast. I have been thinking about you these last couple years and prodding myself to try to find your whereabouts. Please know of my prayers and kind thoughts for all of you these days. I know your strong faith will sustain you and that family will continue to be a support. But I hope also you find solace in wonderful memories. You remain in my heart, dear ones.
Tedra and family: I am so sorry for your loss. I loved having breakfast with you and Barb when I was visiting Robin. She always made me laugh. As we know, she is no longer in pain and is at peace. May you and your family find peace with the wonderful memories you have.
Dear Ted and Family, I have great memories of all of you at Resurrection-praying together, laughing together, and making music together. Barb was a vibrant woman who shared herself openly with others. I was very glad to have known her. You are all in my thoughts and prayers at this time. I know that you have many wonderful memories to keep her alive in your hearts. With my sincere condolences, Janie Marini, Fairport, NY
Our sympathies and love go out to Ted and all his family at the passing of his beautiful wife Barbara. Her accomplishments were many. Her memory will be eternal.
Ted and family I want to send you my warmest sympathy for the loss of Barbara. She truly was a gem. I enjoyed working with her through the NATC. May God give you the strength to endure this sorrow. Nancy
Ted, Our prayers are with you and your family during this most difficult time. Sincerely, Barbara (Shirley's sister) Phillips Badger and Keith
Dear Tedra- I'm so sorry for your loss. Your mother sounds like a dynamic and caring woman who lived a life full of loving and caring for others. Having lost my mom not that long to ago, I've come to view the time I spent caring for her as a blessing and a gift – a chance to repay in a small and inadequate way, all she had done so selflessly for me. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time.
Oh, how Barb and Carol laughed when we went golfing with Charlie and Ted and got caught in a downpour! Only thing Barb found in her golf bag were 2 diapers which we put on our heads to keep our dos from getting wet. We looked so silly and still drenched to the bone!Our sincere sympathies. Charlie and Carol
Barbara will be missed by many. When I think of her, I remember her generosity and vivaciousness. She was a gracious hostess the weekend my daughter and I visited her and her family in Canada. I enjoyed my conversations with her because I always learned something new; including any recent bargains while shopping. It also seemed to me that her sense of family was very important to her. She was a beauty!
Ted, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Ted, our prayers and thoughts go out to you and your family at this time. The faith of you and Barb was a beacon for us in the early days at Resurrection from Barb sharing her vocal talents during the liturgies to adopting a beautiful family to share your love for each other with. May you live with the many happy memories you and Barb enjoyed!
To the Cobb Family - I am so sorry to learn of Barb's passing. I enjoyed the years of teaching with her, her laughter and her great joy in caring for kids. My deepest sympathy. Suzanne Remington
My thought are for my beautiful Cousin and our family.... I have so many memories of Summer visits, what a wonderful clan we have!! Bard was a wonderful spirit, strong and positive, I had great admiration for her!! Much love Cousin Lisa
Barb!!! My fingers fly to quickly!!
Barbra & Ted Cobb adopted me when I was 10 yrs old. They taught me to be caring, & to be thoughtful of others & to be myself even when I had no idea who I really was. They instilled in me that LOVE is a powerful force in this world & that it can overpower any obstacle or pain one may feel. I owe so many things pretty much all of the good things in my life are due to their awesome love for me even when I turned away from it & them. Thank you MOM for all of the good seed you planted in me, they were no for naught, I love you.
Barbara made me feel beautiful at a time when I thought I was ugly. She left a lasting positive impression upon me that has never left me. I'm sorry I did not keep in touch with you sweet lady, but I look forward to singing with you in honor of our Lord Jesus "...when we get to heaven."
Dearest Ted and Family, I attempted to send a note when the notice of dear Barb appeared in the paper...but couldn't get into the site. So many of us love Barb.....how could we not do so. She always had the most beautiful smile and welcoming hug....and didn't mind my much needed hug from you, Ted. I will never, never forget Barb as her spirit will live forever in my life. The last time I saw Barb was at Howie's funeral Mass and at that time I wasn't aware of her illness....she smiled at me and was so sweet. I love you, Barb....I love you Ted,for all the beautiful, wonderful memories and sharings with which God has blessed me. With my deepest sympathy in your loss and yet my joy that she is with Jesus. I can just see Barb leading a new chior. ALLELUIA!
