I remember chatting with Aunt Hope and Uncle Buck on the few occasions we went out west to visit Grandma Bea and Grandpa Tom Kolowinski. I remember them both being so good natured and happy with a twinkle in their eyes. My thoughts are with you.

My best memory of Grandma would definitely be when she was here a couple of years ago visiting and every time Mia went to talk to her she would say "Great, Great, Great, Great Grandma..." not knowing how many there were. She was a fabulous Great and Great Great Grandma and will be dearly missed.

I remember Aunt Hope cooking on the stove at the beach in Grayland. I was amazed to actually see her make a cake on a wood stove. I'm sure there are many card games going on now that all four players are together again. I'll miss you Aunt Hope.

What I will alway remember about Aunt Hope was her generosity. She alway opened her door and had a meal on the table for anyone who stopped by. My mom tells the story about how she and my dad got to Aunt Hopes house at 3am, up she jumped and started breakfast for them. You will be missed dearly.
