Gisela, Ronnie and Steve, I was very sorry to hear of Uncle Melvin's passing. I have not seen you guys in ages, but I do remember his big personality and his love of hunting. He was a very accomplished man and clearly loved by many. I regret that I haven't seen you all in so long and also that I did not enable my dad to get over to visit his brother. I hope that I do get to see you all again soon. God bless and comfort you all. 2 Corinthians 1:3-7 In Christ's Love, Tami Hopper...

We remember Mr, Hopper from our many evenings spent in conversation on the Miller's patio many years ago. He was a nice neighbor.

To Mr. Hopper's family:
I remember Mr. Hopper well. He was one of the best people I have known in my life. I played on his little league baseball team for 3 years and was in his class at Park City Lowry. I went camping with you guys. Mr. Hopper's understanding and guidance helped me in my life when I lacked direction. He was a postive influence in my life.
