    My deepest condolences to you Dick, and your family. The Hoffman's were wonderful neighbors. My children remember fondly the picnics we had every holiday during the summer. We had such good times together, didn't we? Lots of parties and dinners to remember. Betty was a wonderful, warm woman and and always welcoming to everyone. Ozzie and I were so sad when you moved away. You and Betty were irreplaceable. Betty was a beautiful woman who spread her warm and loving heart to many people and charitable endeavors. I am sorry to hear that Betty passed but I must say that I loved the obituary. It sounded just like you, Dick. From your long-time neighbor in Beverly Woods, Peggy Grier
