Our thoughts and Prayers Go out to you all From Frances Cosner Winckler, Sam Cosner and family and My family Kate and Erin Cosner.
Mr. Cosner was such a joy to see! I worked at the local pharmacy and would see him, always with a smile! I truly started to discount him when I was first introduced to him as another customer” He however proved that to be different. He would ask about me (I was pregnant when we first met) and how I was doing and about my soon to be little. Over time I was glad to see him whenever he came in “small town talk” made its way into our brief but meaningful conversations. I left the pharmacy a few months after my little one was born and never said proper salutations to Mr. Cosner. I read in the local paper of his passing. I offer my condolences to his friend and family. He will be missed truly he was a genuine kind of gentleman!”
He was truly a country” neighbor and will be missed by one and all. From snakes to stray dogs from plowing snow to fixing your house to just a good ole conversation around the back deck he was someone you could always count on to be there for you. I will miss him very much and my prayers go out to all of you. Let me know if you ever need anything….”
My deepest sympathies and love go out to you, Roxie. I wish I could have met this wonderful man and father. You are in my prayers and thoughts.
You are in my thoughts and prayers, Roxie. I am so sorry for your loss. May your angel earrings be a reminder of the caring love of our Lord. I miss you.
