Marc and Johanna, you are in my thoughts and prayers. Take care and remember the good and cherish the special relationship of your dad and father in law.

Dear Kathy and family, I was heartbroken to hear this news when my mother told me. We feel like family since the Hoffmans have been in our lives since before we were born and I've known the Bleckmans since grade school. May you be comforted among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem and may Stuart's name always be for a blessing.

Dear Kathy , Dana , Mark and all, We are sending our thoughts and love. Stu was our very special guy . We are thankful to have had our recent visit as family time is the best time. Love Paula and David
