Dear Ed, Step Children, and Family of our dear Sister-In-Law, Sharon Hoff,

We were so sorry to hear of your beloved Sharon's passing. The thoughts of all of your relatives out here in Washington State are with you at this time of great sorrow. We have many fond memories of Sharon from our last visit with her in San Antonio just a week before my brother, Ed Hoff Sr. her husband, passed away after a 13 year struggle with cancer. Our entire Hoff family was so appreciative of the sacrifices she made and way she took care of Ed Sr. during his long and agonizing illness. Because of all of her, love, loyalty, unselfish dedication, and concerted efforts to help him fight his illness, we will forever remember and be indebted to her. Please accept our deepest sympathy and may the peace of the Lord be with you all during this time of great loss and saddness.

Love & Prayers, Uncle Roger and Aunt Linda Hoff, and all of our Family
