I lived across from Hope in Murray, I would give her rides or pick her up at The Terrapin Station every now & then. She was proud of her album collection & I could see why, she had different types of music!!! I would keep an eye out not only on Hope but on all of my neighbors. She was a very kind & great friend!!! I will most definitely miss her!!
