Hope Patterson

To the Patterson Family

I did not hear of Hope's death until yesterday. I attended High School with Hope, at Upper Darby High School.
I wish to extend my symphony to your family as well as the symphony of the class of 1946. I have the E-Mail addresses of more than 125 members of the class and send out a news update on the first day of every month. Hope’s Obituary will be included in the November 1st edition...

miss you mom, abigail wiest, love you forever, never off my mind, peace in heaven.

Hi everyone. This is Christine Wiest, Hope's granddaughter whom she helped raise until I was 12. We were extremely close for my entire life. She was my second mom. I want to graciously thank all of you for such loving words and wishes. God bless all of you and thank you once again. I wrote this two days after her funeral. I lovingly always called her "Gram."

When you first saw me I knew in a heartbeat that the Alzheimer’s no longer consumed you. ...

To the Patterson Family:

I am really sorry for your loss. My wish is that all of you remember of Hope for the good moments and the things she taught you. Always remember about her name, 'cause that's one thing: Hope that she'll be always there for you, no matter how, no matter when, no matter where.

To the Patterson family:
I send my my thought and my heart for this your loss.

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.

To the Patterson Family:
I am so sorry for your loss. To lose a loved one is always difficult, but have peace in the fact that she is no longer in pain. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.
My Deepest Sympathies.
With Love,

I posted here a few days ago...but I forgot something important to write, as I was just writing down my feelings in the moment I heard these bad news.

HOPE is not just a name it's a feeling that gives you all, who are suffering through this bad times, consolation. Maybe that's what she wants you to feel now: hope to go on living and carry her in your hearts, where she will live forever.....that's it now....and you are in my thoughts and prayers.

I send my thoughts and prayers for you and your family. May God bless and comfort you in this time.
