I was a Visiting Nurse who saw Mrs. Hofmiller often over the past several months.
I was saddened to hear of her passing.
She was a lovely lady.
She and I often talked about growing up in Bpt. (East Side), the Catholic Faith, old Bpt. Institutions-many now long gone, Polish food.
She handwrote, in her beautiful penmanship on a lovely recipe card- her recipe for homemade Pierogi.
I will cherish that recipe card.
My condolences to her family.
May she know Everlasting Peace.
