Hope and Dale were there at the beginning of my marriage back in 1972....so long ago, and yet looking at the photos, those days of polishing that old mustang seem like yesterday. I had not seen Hope in 30 some years but remember her as fun loving, soft spoken and a great friend. I'm so sorry for your loss Dale. May G-d's peace surround you and your family....

"Good Friends are had to find, harder to leave, and impossible to forget!" We would like to send our Thoughts, Prayers, & Condolences to Dale & family. This was such a huge shock for Alan & I both. Dale this is hard for us and we just wanted to let you know, we will be thinking of you through your hard times.

Dale, Martha and I want to express our sincere condolences to you and your family on the Loss of Hope. She was one of the most friendly and likeable person that we've ever had the privilege of knowing,which began back in our school days. Again, we're sorry for your loss

Hope was a very special friend to me.  I never had the opportunity to work for her but she was always there to help me with anything.  I love you Hope and look forward to seeing you again.  Dale my thoughts and prayers are with you and the family.  Please keep in touch.

Thoughts and prayers to you all during this difficult time.

What a pleasure to work with Hope. I am saddened by her passing and am praying for your family during this time of loss.

Heaven now has another special angel. It's hard to believe that my dear friend is gone and my heart is breaking. She was such a loving, gentle spirit ready to give to her friends, neighbors and family. She was the salt of the earth! We shared lots of times laughing and enjoying life together. Thinking of you Dale and praying for your strength in the coming months. Love Sandy and Dave

Deeply saddened to hear of the loss of such a beautiful person. I feel so fortunate to have had her influence on my life. She always showed a genuine  interest in getting to know me and pushing me to do my best. Hope was a brilliant and caring person, and will always be thought of fondly. Prayers for her family and all those close to her in this difficult time.

Dale, I sure hate to hear about your loss of Hope.  She was such a sweet person & we had so much fun in our banking days.  Since we've been gone for 30+ years, it has been many years since I saw her.  She was a friend that we will never forget!  Praying for you during this sad time.

So saddened to hear of the passing of this sweet lady! She was a kind neighbor and co-worker.  My thoughts and prayers to all of the family.

So sad to hear of Hope's passing.  She was truly a wonderful person who always had a smile and kind word for everyone.  She was a friend and not just a co-worker.  I know she is in the arms of Jesus, and one day we will see her again.

It is so tragic to lose someone as special as Hope.  She always had a smile and kind word for everyone.  I know she is in the arms of Jesus now.  We will see her again one day.  Rest well Hope.  You are loved.

I am so sorry for the loss of my dear cousin Hope.  Terry's and my prayers go out to Dale, Uncle Reed, Aunt Agnes and Doris.  Hope was such a sweet and kind soul.  It seemed that we almost always sat near each other at family gatherings and reunions, each of us cutting up and laughing. I loved her laugh and her humor.  I remember hanging out with her and Dale and talking about guitars....I think she knew as much about guitars as either of us.  Thank you Hope for being such a wonderful cousin and a special part of my life. I love you.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family Dale

I have so many fond memories of Hope since I came to work for her 4 years ago.  She was a wonderful manager and friend.  My heart aches for the loss of a wonderful lady that had compassion for others and loved life.  We had many conversations about her love for her niece and nephews and her parents.  Dale was the love of her life and she loved everyone who she was around. I hope that one day I can be as gracious as she was.  Prayers for all the family and know she was loved.

So sad that we must continue on without you Hope; but, I am so happy that you are in the presence of Jesus, whom I know you trusted and loved.  I am looking forward to seeing you again my sister in Christ!  Earnest prayers will continue for the family and friends who are experiencing great loss during this time.

I am heartbroken to learn the passing of my sweet lifetime friend.  She was such a sweet wonderful person and I loved her dearly.  Prayers for all the family.  Dale, Reed, Agnes, Doris, I am so very sorry you are having to endure such heartbreak.  Sending all my love and prayers.  May God blanket you with his love and comfort.  
LOVE,
Debbie Winegar Norris

So heartbroken from the loss of this dear sweet lady. Hope and I ate lunch together many days a week, we often joked about being on the same schedule even though we never went at the same time. She has left us here in the mortgage department with lessons of love, compassion and hard work. She will never be able to be replaced. Love and prayers for everyone that was her friend and family.
