We met only briefly one evening at Simply Scrapbooks while visiting our son and daughter-in-law, Scott and Dawn Hoffman. It was such a pleasure to meet Abby and Debbie. I had been following along with Abby's progression since her trip to Seattle's Fred Hutchinson Institute. Abby and her family are inspirations and wonderful examples of a dedicated family. Steve and I wish to send our condolences and let you know you are in our thoughts and prayers. God bless you all
