  1. My gram how I will miss our hour long talks…. you truly knew how to make everyone smile. I love and miss you dearly tell grandpa “bratten” is still a brat. I love you dearly and miss you dearly

  2. The Sements Family offer our condolences to the family of Mary Hoffacker. Mary was a very nice friend to Jim, our dad. For 5 years she provided Kindness, Adventure and Fun in a way that was genuine. She was a devout wife, mother, grandmother to the Hoffacker clan, and we were honored that you shared her with us. We learned so much about the Hoffackers ( and there are a lot of you). Although only a short time, it was comforting, as was her sweet sweet name as written by Irving Berlin. “For it is Mary, Mary, plain as any name can be, But with propriety, society will say Marie. But it was Mary, Mary, long before the fashions came. And there is something there that sounds so square. It's a grand old name.” Our sincere sympathy, yet our genuine appreciation to the Hoffacker's in memory of a very nice person…….”Mary”.
