Not sure what to say?

I just thought of Mrs Kofoid the other day and was heartbroken to find this obituary. She taught me so much and she really saw me in a way that I didn´t understand until I was much older. Sending her family nothing but love and light.

Because of you, I know how to sew and somewhat cook. You made an impact on me in my middle school years that will last my lifetime. Thank you, you are always remembered.

IT was always ajoy to see her on the river or at yacht club events. she is truly missed. Wade Schroder Past Commodore Three Rivers Yacht Club

You are never forgotten ,six years later and your name comes up often .So many memories of you being you . We miss you

I was just remembering all the fun April and I had with Karl and Clarice. I remember them coming over one night and Clarice wanted me to show her how I made meat-balls. That was a fun night, as any time with the two of them were always a good time. Neither of us knew that Clarice had passed, we were pain Arkansas at that time of the year but I just don´t know, otherwise would have been there to say good bye. Well now Clarice and April are having a great time together in Heaven. God bless you...

The smile you wore, the way you talked and the many things we remember about you. We cherish those happy days we spent together. We still miss you.

I met Clarice on the river my nick name for her was "Hello Dolly"! Her bright nature and wonderful smile and speech pattern gave her that nick name to me, When I told her that was my nick name for her I was a little sheepish and didn't quite know what the response would be, I guess she had heard that one before as it seemed old news to her. I never brought it up again but I was glad I had told her my endearing nick name for her

Clarice always wore this fabulous large jewelry. I was totally in awe of her being capable of wearing it in such a regal fashion. Claire, I finally bought large green amber jewelry from Gdansk. Poland at last spring's Gem & Jewelry Show in Rosemont. I thank you for your influence. Love, Koz.

Perhaps 15 years ago, Mom and I were in the food court of Marshall Fields around Christmas time. From waaaaay across the room I see an energetic woman wearing one of those bobble headbands. I turned to Mom and said, "that woman reminds me of Clarice". I looked again and it WAS Clarice! When I learned of her passing I remembered that day because it's a testament to her one of a kind nature. She was definitely unique in only the best ways. Such great childhood memories with her, Tavia,...
