What a beautiful picture of the hofer family. I met Jeff and Shelly first before Rick. They moved to town when my daughter Ariel started preschool, she’s 26 now. Nicole was in her class, and soon they became very close friends. We got to know each other through school functions, and also they would come into the pharmacy from time to time. The first time I ever met Shelly, We had talked for quite awhile after a pre- school valentines party at the school. Before we parted, she confessed she loved me, I’ll never forget it, it took me by surprise. I had never had a female acquaintance say that to me ever, and it’s very hard to shock me, but I was speechless! The thing was she meant it! Something I said made her fall in love with me instantly. I found out awhile latter, that that’s just her. We are very close to this big family, and every time we get together we talk about how we were meant to be together, because we’ve been through a lot together. The hofers have helped me see Jesus, because they look and act like Jesus! They have tremendous faith in God, more than any couple that I have ever know besides Rick and I, and they have been tested deeply through pain, and long suffering many times. Shelly is still going through so much pain, but she has tremendous faith through it all. I admire this beloved family incredibly. Thank you so much for being thankful for them in your life, God has blessed us both friend. There’s so many people in the world that have know one❣️Blessings @enjoywithtroy
