Hope was my sister & my best friend and I shall miss her dearly. We had a lot of fun times growing up, even when we talked on the phone,we'd always end up laughing..
For all Hope dealt with in life, she always put her children first. When her grandchildren were born she smiled even brighter. After I moved to NH, we talked on the phone almost everyday. Most of what we discussed was about her children, then the grandchildren..
Hope was so proud of all her children, and how smart they were (and the older & young grandchildren too). You're all in our thoughts and prayers always.
We Love You,
Auntie Naomi & Mark
Please call me anytime, to talk or if you need anything..I'll be here for you always.
I Love You All So Much

To all of you, Hope's family and friends,
I just heard of Hope's passing and my heart aches for all of you she left behind. I'm so sorry I missed the service to express my condolences in person. I hadn't seen her in many years, but I have such wonderful memories of her, especially her sense of humor and contagious laugh! I was best friends through school with Faith, so naturally spent time with the Nelson family and think of you all so often. My thoughts and prayers are with you her children, grandchildren, Ruth, Naomi, Debbie, and all of her family and loved ones. My life has always had an empty spot since Faith's passing and now we have another angel to watch over all of you!
Much sympathy and love,
Carol Esper Pickett

Kendra, Kara and Kris:
Your Mom was the greatest-Mom, Nana and Friend!
I will always remember the fun times she and I spent together, especially the 3 months we spent in California to look for jobs-only to come back home without a job and start our 'real lives' here in Mass.
I will miss you Hopey and hold your friendship and love close to my heart forever!!
Rest in Peace Hopey!
