Dear Cathy-

Megan and I were saddened to learn of your loss. Your mom was always a bright spot on Delmar Place and my fondest memory of my early years living there. She was always, sunny, friendly and loving toward us. Just the best of neighbors. I have missed seeing her in recent years.

Love to you,
Debbie and Megan

When I think of your Mom and Grandma I can just see her smiling and enjoying all of you. She was so sweet and kind and loved All of you sooo much! When I would take my Mom over to get her hair done there was Mrs. McGee smiling and ready to have her hair done too. She always wanted to stop and talk.
We miss having you as our backyard neighbors and we are thinking of all of you as we will miss your Mom and Grandma very much. Though the last few years she may not have been like we wanted to remember her but all the wonderful memories that you have of her will fill your hearts and I hope that helps you through this difficult time. The picture that you have of her here is exactly how I remember her and she radiated her caring ways where ever she went. She is at peace now and back to the way you wanted her to be and she is probably up there talking to my Mom and Dad and getting reaquainted with all the neighbors and your Dad and Grandpa which she hasn't seen in a long while. I will be at church at 12:00 and I hope that I can give you all a hug because we all need them. Please give my condolences to Paul also. He loved her very much and they had a lot of fun together. He was so wonderful to her and to all of us. Sparky couldn't wait to get a treat from Paul :) Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. You may not know that my Mom died in late June so I really do know your pain of losing a Mom and Grandma! Keep telling the fun stories of your times with her and that makes it feel a little better. We were blessed to have her in our lives and she has a special place in all our hearts. Know that we are thinking of you all and I will be there with you in church to celebrate your Mom and Gramma's life that touched us all.
Our thoughts are with you! Love, Kathy & Chris Hoffmann
