To Frannie and all the Kobida family: Sorry to read of your Mom's death when we returned from a birthday celebration up in Mesa, but we were so lucky to have our Mom's for so long! May all your fond memories of her help to ease the sorrow of losing her to this life. Love, Kathy Crawford(Reznicek)

Dear Frannie and Joannie,
I just today heard of your mothers passing into eternal life. I was out of town on vacation. I will always remember your mom's gently spirit and her loving smile. I always loved spending the night at your home when we were teenagers and her Sunday fried chicken. (The best in the west). May she rest in peace in the arms of our Lord. You are all in my prayers during this difficult time.

My deepest sympathy to the Kobida family. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. I will always remember her as such a warm, loving person and she always had a smile to share. Her laugh was contagious! I have many great memories of spending time at her house with Nancy and Judy when we were kids. God bless you all - and may you find peace in the coming days!

Joanie - Your Mom - her smile, her crinkly, smiling eyes, the way her face lit up and the love that she always showed for everyone around her - that memory will always be with us. Please know that sharing her enriched our lives in so many ways. We love you and are keeping good thoughts for you and your wonderful family.

May you rest in peace Helen. Your time here on earth was purposeful. As the matriarch of your family you led by example. A beautiful, caring and positive woman. Always smiling and welcoming and warm. You cared deeply about your family, your friends and your faith. I know my grandmother and your best friend Sophie is there with you in heaven. She loved you so much and spoke on her death-bead of seeing you again one day.Give her a hug for me.
To the entire Kobida family, My deepest sympathy to you all. I know your faith is guiding you right now just as she would have wanted.
