So sorry for your loss of my Aunt Hope. She was a wonderful Aunt. She was always cheerful and ready for a good time. My sister Linda and I took our Mother, Helen and Aunt Hope to Las Vegas 19 years ago and had a great time. She had so much energy and was always ready to go. I will treasure the memories of of Aunt. She was a wonderful role model and a great cook. I know she is now in heaven with so many of our family that have gone before. I love you Aunt Hope. Aunt Elsa said that she had a wonderful homecoming in heaven.

My heartfelt prayers go out to all the family. It has been many years since I was able to visit with Aunt Hope, but I have so many wonderful memories of visit's in South Florida and the Key's. She and Uncle Gene were always so kind to me and my family. She was a kind, loving and generous person and even after many years I still remember the yummy pies she would bake and bring to the Leach Family Thanksgiving dinners! I know she is rejoicing in Heaven with her loved ones that had gone before her!
