Dear Simone Family,
Hope was a fantastic woman and she always knew how to make people laugh... She was like a grandmother to me. She would always welcome me in to her house and say: "You gonna have sumthin' to eat Stet?" and she was always so welcomeing to anyone who ever came into her house. She would cook day and night and there was no end until now. She will be remembered and I will always be here for the family if they ever need a friend.

You were the best grandmother Charlie could have ever asked for, we will miss you so much. Go with God and feel the love that you gave to so many, because you were loved more than you will ever know. You spent all your time taking care of others ,now it is your time to rest in peace and fly free.

Dear Nick ,Michael ,Steven,Chris and Hopes cherished and loved grandsons,
I am very sad and at a lost for words right now. I lost my very dear friend that has always been there for me and my family. She is the strongest ,sweetest ,loving and caring women I will ever know. I will miss her smile her humor and her 2 hour phone conversations. She was there for me for the good times and the bad times. I could always count on her. I know she loved me and I love her so much. She was like a Mom , Sister and best friend all in one and I am lucky to have had her in my life. I can say that she adored and loved her family and at this time I know her wish would be for everyone to help eachother through this time of grieving. This is very difficult for our family but we know she is an angel looking over us all...
