Hi Hopkins family,
I am so sad and thinking of you in this time of sorrow. My heart goes out to all but I am thinking of my wonderful friend Barb. I know you and Michael were so close and had a wonderful marriage. Please accept my deepest condolences and my prayers will ask God to help you each day and fill your heart with all the love, happiness and wonderful memories. I have a doctor and therapy appointment so I will not be able to be at the church. I would love to meet for lunch when you are available. Love and prayers to you and the family.
