"I Will be missing my mother. She was there every day of my life with phone calls and listened to me through all my ups and downs. We had so much fun plying bingo together and got a big kick out of me getting so upset that she had so much luck and would yell bingo far more often me. We will miss her wonderful cooking on the holidays and all the wonderful crocheted blankets that she did for her whole family. I loved her very much and will miss her every day. Love Kris Hofmeister"
