She loved the Lord with her whole heart and loved others through her generosity and care of and for them. Christ lived in and through her and it was clear to anyone who was blessed with the opportunity of getting to know her, if even for a moment.
Known for her warm smile, kind heart and gentle spirit, she walked among us like an angel, touching the lives of those she met in the most beautiful ways. In her free time, Hope enjoyed photography, cooking, fitness, and spending time with Guyton Emmanuel, whom she loved deeply.

As we prepare to say our final goodbye on this side of heaven, we take comfort in knowing that her name is a constant reminder of what we have, Hope! Hope in knowing that we will see her again for an eternity.
On behalf of the Muir family, her loved ones and friends, Thank you all for the outpouring of love and support during this most difficult time.

I knew hope as a teenager we grow up together in the New Brunswick SDA church . When other teenagers were worried about boys and what kind of car they were going to get Hope was out with me and the entire Muir family delivering tracks about the love of Jesus . Hope was concerned with serving the Lord and bringing others to know the loving Savior . She surely has the blessed hope and it brings my heart to joy to know we will be laughing again for all eternity when we all get together again in heaven . Rest In Peace dear Hope you gave everyone who met you hope.
