It is with deep sorrow that I write these memories of my dear friend Hope. Hope was a gentle, wonderful, intelligent, warm and loving woman. Where do I stop? We first met in late 1988 for a Christmas get together. Hope and Lloyd were my soon be wife's dear friends and this was my introduction. Grace was due very soon. It was the first of many happy times our families shared together. When Patricia died Hope, Llloyd, Grace and Joe stood by my side and later held me up. I am forever grateful to them. I watched Grace and Joe grow into lovely people, how could they be anything else? Hope was much more than my friend, much much more. I miss her and I will always miss her. Tom Gagan
