Dale and Maribeth and family,
Aunt Hope was such a wonderful woman, I always looked forward to seeing her and uncle George and you both every Christmas, we always had fun and felt loved. And then there was the weeks at Dewey Beach, sticky buns, sand sculptures, and a night at Phillips. You're in my prayers.

Sending love and prayers from the Davitt and Long families. Hope (and George) were the most amazing neighbors we could ever hope for. We will miss her, but happy that she is reunited with the love of her life. See you on Saturday. Jay and Patty Long
