I have so many fun great memories of my sister-in-law. One day Hope decided that China has more stars in the sky then us. Of, course we all gave her a puzzled look as she's trying to explain it. No matter we said wouldn't change her mind. She believed her theory.
Some of the stuff that she would say.. Hope always made you laugh with just being herself.
Thank you for so many memories Hope.
Your brother Tim and I love you lady.
"Fly High in the stars of heaven now."
Love your sister-in-law Suzie

Aunt Hope loved horses. And, every year her, my mom and I and whoever else wanted to join would always walk around the fair the night before it opened because we could go see the farm animals, most important the horses. She always loved to kiss horses noses and she would just go up to them and talk to them, have a whole conversation with them really. It was one of my favorite things to do and now will always be one of my favorite memories of her. It was nice to be able to share special moments like this with her, she was a wonderful aunt to all her nieces and nephews that were apart of her life and wanted her a part of theirs..she was an even better godmother and I am so blessed that she was chosen as mine. I love and miss her so much, as we all do. I will always kiss a horses nose for her every time I see one.
