Robin, Todd, & Sean, If I could, but for a minute, make this easier to face, I WOULD! Sometimes the road of life throws us unexplainable twist, but being there with you made me realize that your spirit and your goodness, give you extraordinary strength. Seth's memorial service was proof to all that not only have you raised two amazing sons, but you all have made everyone that comes into your lives, feel nothing but welcome and comfort. Sydney says She will miss you Spaghetti Head. We loved your amazing blond curls. What a wonderful son you had the opportunity to raise. A rare and beautiful gift to us all!! We will miss you Seth, and we were lucky to get to know you. Thank you for that Robin. And thank you Todd for being a person of enormous courage and strength. I love you Rob! And miss you more than you could ever know.

Hofer family...not quite sure what to say. But I wanted to leave my best memory of Seth. It was the end of my senior soccer season during half time of JV. Seth, Caiden, and myself were playing on the field and right before Caiden tried scoring on Seth he tackled him to the ground and tickled him : I'll never forget Seth and without the Hofers love, support, and push I would've never played soccer- let alone play college soccer. I'm going to miss Seth and those curly golden locks! I think of you often and pray for your family everyday. Thanks for being my second mom and dad and meaning so much to me!
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

I really got to know Seth very well this past year. We ate lunch together every day of junior year, and since we didn't have many people at our table, it was often just the two of us sitting together and talking. He always had a story to tell, and would usually begin each one excitedly by hitting me on the shoulder and saying, Get this... He made me laugh every day and i will never ever forget one second of the happiness he brought us.

Robin and Family, I am so very sorry to hear of the death of Seth. I want you to know that I am here for you at this painful time. I like to believe that when we lose someone close to us they still live through us and give us strength. The time we have spent with those we've lost makes them a part of us. I pray the love of God enfolds you during your journey through grief. Please know that I am thinking of you and honoring the memory of your son, Seth. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not unto your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your path. - Proverbs 35:6 Praying for you all, Suzanne

Sean and Family, I know this must be hard for everyone to take in but it was better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all..and when someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure. I know I just met you Sean but if you ever, ever need anything don't be affraid to ask! God Bless...

My deepest sympathy to you and your family. I remember that Seth was often smiling and joking with his friends at school. He had a wonderful personality with just the right amount of mischief and adventure. Seth will be missed by everyone who knew him. I pray the Lord of Heaven's Armies covers each of you during this most difficult time. I do not mean to undermine the grief; however, I pray for comfort, healing and love to find you. Matthew 8:4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Ms. Wagner Emm Dubb

To the Hofer and Mason Family. I pray that you are given the strength to get through this terribly difficult time. Seth was a wonderful man and he has blessed us with the wonderful memories of his kindness and thoughfulness. Like so many in your family, Seth opened up his heart and shared it with the biggest to the smallest of people. He was a beautiful young man and I will miss his jokes, his imitations and harmless teasing. Thank you Seth, we miss you so much. xoxo

I really got to know Seth very well this past year. We ate lunch together every day of junior year, and since we didn't have many people at our table, it was often just the two of us sitting together and talking. He always had a story to tell, and would usually begin each one excitedly by hitting me on the shoulder and saying, Get this... He made me laugh every day and i will never ever forget one second of the happiness he brought us.
