I feel very late in leaving this message, and I hope it reaches you, but I only just found out. Hope was my student at Davenport for two semesters. She was a wonderful young woman and we had many good chats before and after class. The last time we talked, we'd even discussed her enrolling in a third class with me later on, if her schedule could be worked out.
I am so deeply sorry for your loss, and the loss of all who never got to know her. I'll keep her memory with me always.

There is nothing that can replace the absence of a loved one. The more beautiful and richer the reminder, the harder the separation. But the gratitude gives in the mourning a silent joy: one carries the beauty of the past as a precious gift in himself/herself! (Dietrich Bonhoeffer, translated).
The sudden death of your daughter makes me very affected. In my thoughts I am with you, with sincere condolences

Dear Klinkers Family,
I was the IT Support SPC for Hamilton Community Schools when Hope was there. I assisted her technically with an on-line AP course she was taking. She was always patient and kind in spite of technical frustrations. Through the process we grew to appreciate each other more.
I last saw her at Menards and we briefly talked about her plans. She spoke to me like I was an old friend. I encouraged her, she smiled, we parted and I was thankful that I knew her.
Heaven has gained a wonderful young lady and it is comforting to know we shall see her there someday.
My wife and I extend our deepest sympathies to you and yours and know you will be in our thoughts and prayers for many days to come.
