My heart truly aches for you. I'm sorry for your loss. It's hard to understand why people are taken from us (especially so young), but find comfort in knowing you all were a special part of a well-lived life.

Dear Jake and family,
I was so saddened to hear about sweet Hope today. We will miss her very much, she always had a smile to give away even when she was going through so much. She shared many stories with us about how wonderful her family was, including that she could not believe that her husband loved and trusted her so much to get her dream house without his approval. She told us how she called him and let him know about the house and he replied "If you love it then get it, whatever makes you happy" She always felt special because of you Jake and her adorable children. I believe that God needs Hope to help with Children that need a mommy in heaven. We all know she is perfect for that job, and the first to volunteer:) She was a treasure here on earth but God has a perfect plan for her, we may not understand why she was taken so young, but God allowed her to share her life with her family and friends, and to give you two beautiful boys so that you will never feel alone. She completed her work here, God knows that Jake you are a strong man and a terrific dad, and Hope rested in knowing that. I know carrying on without her will be difficult, but she is only a prayer away and always watching over all of us. If we can help you in anyway, please let us know. Please don't burn yourself out. May God bless all of you.
