Carey Vincent Hopkins

Belva, I can't believe so many years have gone by since his passing. He was such a great brother to me and I will always think warmly of him throughout my years, Pray you are doing well!

Always enjoyed Carey's great sense of humor at our Class of '61 lunches in Lake Oswego. He was a good friend.... and enjoyed life,
See ya sometime ol' friend.

Dear Belva and Family, You don't know me, but I was a classmate of your husband's many years ago. We graduated in 1961; sadly, just as your husband of 43 years (same number of happily married years with us and I just cannot imagine losing mine) has passed from this life to eternal life, we are all right behind Carey - give or take a few years or weeks or days or even hours. God bless you and my prayer is He will comfort you in this time of deep sorrow. I truly wish that I had a magic wand and could bring Carey back to you; but sadly I don not have any magic, only the gift of eternal life and that is found in John 3:16 and to comfort one another with these words from I Thessalonians 4:13-18. So very sorry for your terrific loss!

Dear Belva, I was privileged to have such a wonderful stepbrother in my life. I know my mother and Chuck are with Carey now and they will continue to always be with us in our hearts. Thank you for your strength in loving and caring for Carey. Love to you and all your family.

A truly gracious, kind man of many talents who readily shared himself and home with so many to encourage fun and friendship! Good to have spent time - but way too little - in his presence enjoying his wit, humor and joyful emails. And, "Thank you" Belva!

I am really sorry to hear of the loss of Carey. I was honored to become his friend after meeting him & finding out he was my high school classmate. He always had a positive attitude despite his condition. See ya later Carey!

A good man has left us.

I am sorry for your loss. May prayer comfort you.

1 Thessalonians 5:17 "Pray constantly."

"It was on the mourn
I saw a ship a sailing
The sea was calm
Carey was at the rail."

Belva, you are in my thoughts and prayers at this time. Know that Carey will be greatly missed by his classmates. I am so great full that I was able to reconnect with him and to meet you in these past few years. He was such a wonderful man. God bless your family.

Bell:

We can't begin to tell you how much we will miss our "Carey Carey." He was such a character and kept us in constant chuckles. We will miss his funny emails and phone calls, but most of all, we will miss his wonderful RHS party decrations. He continued to amaze us in all the beautiful and fun things he (and you too) would make for all of us.

Our thoughts and well wishes are being sent to you and the boys.

Love,
Chuck 'n Dee

Belva, We are so sad to learn of Carey's passing. He was a great guy in every way, and we will always remember his warm smile. You and your family are in our thoughts, we will be in touch soon. Take care. Love, Charlie and Kay
