Mom -
By now you have settled in to your upstairs PentHouse….completely renovated I am sure. Hopefully you have found Dad, Gram and Ebah, Aunt Betty, Uncle Cuddie and all your other marvelous friends. We are all doing okay and will enjoy Christmas here in New York. Diane arrives on the 21st. We will go to the MET and see the Kresh Xmas tree and remember all our visits with you that we did over the years.
Look around up there and save me a space…a cottage on a lake perhaps. Love you and Happy New Year! XOXO Carole

Dear Valerie - Your Mother Florence was such a dear friend to Mom. She spoke about her often, news of your family or the latest outing they made. It is so kind of you to share the memory you have of our Mothers. You know that by now - they have found each other and are “ladies who lunch”!!!
Happy and Healthy New Year to you and your family.
Love, Carole (Bolger)

On behalf of my late mother, Florence Malcolm, I want to extend my sincere condolences to your family on the passing of your mother, Chic Bolger. My mother valued her friendship and I will always remember her attending Flo’s memorial service in Chestertown, Maryland. My sister, Marcia went to Williamsburg and stayed with her afterwards.

Dear Pam and to the entire Hoff tribe -
Thank you for sharing your memories of Mom. Someone told me about this site and so glad I did not miss it.
I know how much Mom loved you all. You were all her adopted daughters and sons.
Mom died peacefully at the age of 95 and a half. Although it hurts to lose someone so dear, we are heartened that Mom lived a full long life doing almost everything she wanted to. In the last year she wanted to go to Egypt and far away places which was obviously not possible. As she was nearing the end I spoke to her about us packing our bags for the big trip ahead. I know she is already redecorating the Pearly Gates.
Wishing you all a wonderful year ahead. Let’s hope this vaccine can get us back to some kind of normal.
With much love, Carole (Diane and Valerie)


Chic Bolger was like a Mother to me.  I was saddened to learn of her passing, but was so glad we had a wonderful conversation on Thanksgiving.  I will always have memories of happy times shared. My condolences to the Bolger girls.  We now have another shining star to watch over us and guide us.  

Like my brother David and all the Hoff sisters and brothers, I have   very special memories of Chic.  My husband Fred, who adored her, and I had dinner with Chic a couple or three times when our travels took us to or near Williamsburg. We delighted in hearing about her girls and she delighted in sharing your latest news.  What I remember with much love is that Chic and Bill Bolger agreed to be guardians of the ten Hoff children. That is true friendship.  The world has lost a treasure.   Diane and Carole and Valerie, you are in Fred’s and my thoughts. We will be toasting Chic tonight, on what would have been Carol Hoff’s 102nd birthday.

So sorry to hear about Chic's passing. She and Bill were close friends with my parents, and I have so many wonderful memories of them all being together, often laughing uproariously. I also remember going to the Bolger house to take piano lessons for many years. Another memory was when Chic and Bill bought the new house near Grant School requiring massive renovations, which turned into a grand adventure, including living at our house on Highland Avenue while we were away for the summer. My parents along with other friends turned this house adventure into a little comedy show for Chic and Bill, which of course they loved. (One of the bits that I remember my dad rehearsing, was acting as if he was on the phone with Chic checking on our house, and him saying with a shocked tone, "Bill cut the lawn?" "Oh, Bill the boy across the street". ) "Aunt Chic" was so spirited and fun and will be very much missed in this world. My condolences to Diane, Carol, and Valerie and all your families.   David Hoff
