Bob - I am so sorry for the loss of your mom. My dad, Earl Hoffman worked for your dad for many years and really loved your family. My mom died in 2004 so I know the pain you are going through. My dad still lives in Alamogordo and I now live in Jasper, Alabama. I am sure my dad would like to see you if you are still in town. I will light a candle and keep you in my prayers.
