Hope Cookis-McCarthy

Ellie I am still thinking of you. Its been 5 years but I know the pain is still with you & Holly. Its hard to loose a child as now I know how you feel as I lost my son 9 months ago. You just never get over it . Sending my love to you and Holly. Luv Valerie

I can't believe it's been 4 years. I Know the pain is still with Ellie & Holly. Thankyou for the flower seeds. I am going to plant them on Mother's Day & when they start blooming I will remember Hope with each flower that blooms. Luv Valerie

Ellie, my most sincere sympathy to you and your entire family on the loss of your daughter. I still have the favor that I got at her wedding and have used it every year as a decoration on our Christmas tree. She truly was a beautiful person and will be missed by many.

sorry for your recent loss my brother bob just called from tampa fl and told me my heart out to you and your family uncle tom

Hope left a legacy of kindness, empathy and friendship to all who've touched her life. She was my first and best friend, and there are no words to describe what a wonderful, happy, successful, intelligent wife, mother, daughter and friend she was. Her life will live on forever in the hearts of those who loved her and I feel her birthday (and every Friday for that matter!) Should be an official holiday #FridayRandomActsofKindnessforHOPE
With love,
Mel
I am a phone call away if...

Dear Thomas and the whole McCarthy and Cookis families, I feel so sorry about your tremendous loss. My daughter, Vanessa and I feel so bad about this since we were priviledged to go to your wedding and I always knew the Cookis family so well. Mace and Julius were always good friends of mine. May god bless both of your families Thomas. Uncle Bob and Vanessa.

Dear Tom, I just received the news. My heart breaks for you and your children, and I am thinking of you, sending thoughts and prayers. I am certain that Hope's spirit lives on through all of the lives she has touched. What a beautiful, gracious soul. With love, Colleen.

Tom and family, I learned today of Hope's passing and I offer my condolences. Like Michelle and Mr. George, I too remember Hope as the kind, friendly, sweet, genuine classmate in middle and high school. I share your sadness at this very difficult time and I am thinking of you often. Again my most heartfelt condolences.

I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of Hope. In every memory I have of her at Drury she is smiling. She was a kind and peaceful soul back then and it sounds like she continued to live the rest of her life that way. RIP
