Robert Hoffman was such a wonderful man. I took a few of his painting workshops along with my best friend, April. Not only was he a gifted artist, and great instructor, but he had the tender sweet spirit, that we recognized as being the Holy Spirit. The way he spoke of, and to his wife Wilma, was just as precious to witness as watching him bring a painting to life. I've missed him already, since its been years, but have been encouraged to know I will see him again. Wilma, you are in my prayers. Praying for comfort for the whole family. God bless you all.
