Hope A. Duff

This is the eulogy delivered at the Memorial Service:

Good afternoon and thank you for coming to express your sympathy and condolences. For those of you who do not know me, I am Eugene Duff, my mother?s youngest son.
You can read a brief biography of my mother?s long life on the memorial website at www.mem.com.
I will not take a long time to re-iterate her all her life?s accomplishments as a wife, nurse, mother and friend.
However, I will make mention of several...

Rest in peace dear Nana. Thinking of you and your husband together again warms my heart. Give More Nana, Grandpa Van, and Grandma Rose a hug for me.

I have fond memories of quahogging with Auntie Hope "down river", of traveling with her to see the New York World's Fair and to Europe as a teen, and to California, but most of all, I loved the family get-togethers with her in Narragansett. How she loved to garden and grow fresh vegetables. She used to take me berry picking. What wonderful memories she has given me. I loved my Auntie Hope.

Gene, My condolences on the passing of your Mother.

My grandmother sure did love digging in the mud of narrow river for all sorts of shellfish. Above all these will be the memories that I will keep close. I loved her very much!
