Hope was for us a caring, loving, and patient neighbor and friend. My family was so privileged to have her as a neighbor. Five of my grandchildren knew Hope and were excited when she would come to the fence and chat with them. The sense of loss is overwhelming. Her presence leaves a void and she will be missed dearly. We are so sorry for your loss. People like Hope come along rarely and we were so blessed to have known her.
