Thinking of your Mother today on her birthday. I remember your Dad delivering flowers to the office for her. I know she is celebrating with him in heaven, and reunited with your sister. I enjoyed visiting them in their home after we both retired. I won't be able to attend the Graveside Service on the 18th, but do know all of you will be in my thoughts and prayers. She loved your dad, each of her children and their families. Cherish your treasured memories. My next donation to St. Jude will be in memory of her.

Hope will surely be missed by many. I have loved her like a big sister since the 50's when we rode the bus to school together. Faye and I were in the same class together and Hope was always there to watch over us. Later in life Hope helped me with many worries of my Mom's medical aide. We remained friends thru all our years. I remember one Christmas she was wishing they still made Lights that bubbled to put on the tree. I managed to find a set and took them to her. She had a smile on her face that glowed brighter than the lights. Again, I loved Hope and will always love her.
