Aunt Marylin so sorry for your lost and I know God will see you through. I have nothing but good thoughts of Hopper he always treated me nice. I remember when I was little he used go fishing alot and he used have all those fish in the sink. I used to be scared to look at them he would just smile at me. That is the image that will always remain in head when think of Hopper will be his smile. Love you all A'njella

Uncle Hopper, It has been a long time since I have seen you. I was shocked and saddened to hear of your passing. I pray that your spirit will finally find the rest that eluded you on this earth. I remember as a little girl how patient you were with me; allowing me to twist and knot your hair with a smile, even when you had to get a hair cut because you were unable to loosen the knots. Those are the memories I will always cherish. I will miss you undeniably. Tell my Brother I said HELLO and I MISS him sooo very much. LOVE Your Niece Natkia
