Hello, my name is Robert Kobiella. I was Liz Fast's neighbor across the street. I met her near the time I moved in, in 2009-2010. She has always been kind hearted to me. I loved the fact that she loved animals so much, they were a passion of hers. She truly helped allot of animals find forever homes. She was surly and could be brash, yet I think she always had good intentions. We were not very close, she had more friends than I know of who she was close with personally. I will absolutely miss her. My prayers and condolences to all that knew and loved her. I will miss her camaraderie and personal view.on life. Rest in peace my friend...
