Greg, Genesis, Andrew, and Quinn,
We are deeply saddened at the news of Matha Lynn’s passing. What a privilege to know her and call her “family”. We are comforted by the knowledge that we will see her again in Heaven. May God wrap His everlasting arms around each of you and bring you peace. May joyful memories soon replace the sadness in your hearts. We love you.

To the Hoffman Family,
My thoughts and prayers go out to you and the many friends of Marti. We can all look forward to a world without the pain and suffering of losing a precious life as promised in the Bible at Revelation 21:4 and 1 Thessalonians 4:14. May God comfort your hearts, 2 Thessalonians 2:16, 17. My deepest sympathy.
Mark Varnau says
To the Hoffmans–one of the best things I did at Hooks, was hire Marti Hoffman. She was intelligent, fun, personable, hard-working, talented and creative. What a joy to work with.!! I ran into her several times in recent years at Kiwanis functions and we had great conversations about “old times”. My sympathy to all of you.

To Martha’s Family,
Martha was very Special and she Loved her family and friends and her Savior. George and I always enjoyed her visits and have many precious memories about her. Martha, Barbara and I had so much fun visiting the farm where her mother grew up. We also enjoyed researching family history at different places, getting lost on country roads, and using lots of bug spray while visiting local cemeteries. We would laugh and then laugh some more and there was never a dull moment with the three of us. Martha was always busy doing wonderful things to help others but was never too busy to make a yearly trip to visit us and her mother’s birthplace. She was truly a virtuous woman. We will miss her but she is where she was longing to go. 2 Corinthians 5:6-8 Absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.
