Hope was a beloved Godmother of seven, aunt and caretaker by trade. She was always providing a welcoming home to those in need. It is little known that she was a talented writer. Her hobbies consisted of not only writing, but reading, gardening, and hiking. She loved country music and George Strait. Her favorites were lottery tickets, diet coke, chocolate, Easter Lilies, and garage sales. To know her humor, meant you knew her heart and those who fully experienced that part of her; will forever mourn her loss.
