Prayers for Bruce Hoffer

Hello everyone, I’m sure many of you remember Mary Ann Hoffer who used to be in our group reunion for many years. I wanted to let you know that her husband had open heart surgery on Mon. and now there are complications – he hasn’t awakened from the anesthesia and they are concerned there could be brain damage. Please keep Bruce and Mary Ann as well as the doctors in your prayers for a full recovery with no brain damage. Thanks. -- Kathy Scott

Hello all. It is with great sadness that I write this note to all of Marty's wonderful family and friends. Marty took her last breath this morning at about 10am. She left this world peacefully. I know that she is in a better place...A place she has looked forward to, to be reunited with her parents, sister, and brother. What a blessed day for them all!! I am tentatively thinking we will have a Memorial on Saturday. I will keep you all posted on the details. Thank you for going on this journey with Marty. She loved you all dearly. Her friends & family throughout all walks of life, have made her so happy!! Love, -- Mackenzie Thompson
