    • Kathy,

      Don’t know if you remember me, but we used to communicate via e-mail. I was trying to find information on Delores (Beaujean) Barlow and ran across your condolence message for Rosemary Hoffman. I just spoke to Betsy Townsend. She is in Virginia right now, on her way to visit someone in North Carolina.

      Do you have any knowledge about Delores? The last card that Betsy sent was returned unopened.

    kxWe had the honor and privilege of knowing Gigi as part of her extended family. She welcomed us, and made us feel loved as soon as we met her. We will remember her warm smile, and the twinkle in her eyes, especially around the great grandchildren. She was loved deeply, and gave more love in return, and will be dearly missed.

  7. Hello
    Please convey my deepest sympathy to Mr. Norman Hoffman and Family on the death of his mother Rosemary Hoffman of Waco Texas The Obituary ran in the Macomb Daily newspaper in Michigan. I would appreciate it if you could possibly contact Mr. Norman Hoffman who I believe might be my old friend from High School days back in Michigan.
    The City was Detroit, the schools were Pulaski, and Osborn High School. Norman and I were good friends and graduated together in 1964. We were drafted together into the U.S. Army in 1966 and lost touch with each other. If I am contacting the correct Norman and if he is interested in e-mailing me I would love to hear from him. It has been 44 years since I have heard from Norman. I had heard rumors that he was killed in action in Viet Nam where I also served from July 66 to July 67 hopefully they were just rumors.
    If you could contact him for me and if he wishes to contact me then my e-mail address is:
    flies220@yahoo.com.
    I still live in Michigan about 20 miles from where we grew up.
    If he were to call me on the phone then my phone number is:
    586-792-9725
    Thank You
    Larry Flis (happily retired)

    I have so many wonderful childhood memories of Rose and Chuck. She touched so many lives. When I told my mom; she cried. She then proceeded to tell me several stories about Rose and Chuch and all the wonderful, charitable things they did for my family over the years.
    Rose was loved by so many…especially the Danielson family.
