To the Hobbs Family:

My thoughts, prayers and sincere sympathy are with each of you.

I treasure growing up with the Hobbs Family. I was fortunate to be Grover's classmate and will always remember the good times we shared both at school and riding the school bus together.

It was always a pleasure to drop in at Grover's Grits and be greeted by Grover's warm personality and great smile.

My love to all of you.
