I am so sorry for your loss. I was very fortunate enough to have gotten the chance to meet, and take care of Mr. Goff while in the hospital. He really touched my heart, and I will always remember him and his very loving family, who I have had the pleasure of getting to know. My thoughts and prayers are with you all through this time of sorrow.

He was a very special person who will be miss by all.I remember going to Tennessee with paw paw Goff for the family reunions and dinner on the graves that was some wonderful times, but of course we wouldn't let him drive because he would fall asleep behind the wheel. I love and miss him so much.
