Sincere sympathy to all the Cobble family. Truly the Cobbles were such a wonderful Christian family and if you knew them- you loved them all.
I was so very saddened to hear about Cecile’s passing. She & her family were such a role model for me growing up. The Cobble family was so very well known in our hometown & a cornerstone of Silsbee State Bank. Please accept my condolences and prayers to David, Carole & their families during this time of loss. They were always sweet & kind to me & I’m a better person for having them in my life.
