My name is Michael k. Herflicker sr. I would like to offer my condolences to the Hoffman family. I am 62 years old. And back in roughly 1973 and 74 , I met Mildred and Raymond's children, Randy , Rick , and Elizabeth. I was about 17 years old . They invited me to their house. Mildred and Raymond and the kids treated me like family . They invited me for many dinners at their house at Greenwich and Cedar Over the course of about two years, I unbelievably discovered , that amazingly I was related to Raymond . My mother s name who is now deceased was Annabel Fern Hoffman, cousin to Raymond, turns out it's such a small world. I will never forget the kindness of Mildred and Raymond !

Knew Mildred for many years when as children we were both members of Zion's UCC Church, Cedar and Washington Sts., Reading, Pa. She was a loving person and lost track of her when I got married and left the area. She was very devoted to her God and is in His presence now. By sincerest condolences to the family. RIP Mildred.
