To The Hope Family
We are sorry we can’t be with you tomorrow, but our thoughts and prayers will be with you.

Our destination is a place,
Far greater than we know.
For some the journey's quicker,
For some the journey's slow.
And when the journey finally ends,
We'll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the Lord.

May you find comfort in knowing that earth has no sorrow that Heaven can't heal.
