I am so very sorry for your loss. I have some very fond memories of Hope as well as her mother, Laurie, who was my neighbor when I was growing up. It really saddens me to know another beautiful, loving, caring, and generous soul has left our Morgan family and my Mom, Kay Wolfe, has lost a very close and dear friend whom I know she will miss greatly. Love and prayers to all!
Love,

Amanda Hope, so sorry for your loss. It’s hard to believe that with Hope’s passing, it marks the end of a whole generation. Very few brothers and sisters shared a bond that Hope, Margie, Jean, Ron and Dad did.

Sorry for your loss Amanda Hope. Hope was a very special Lady. I will miss her very much.
My deepest sympathy to Hope’s family. Hope was a beautiful lady inside and out. She was loved and will be missed by many. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone at this most difficult time.
Hope was an amazing lady and an inspiration to us all. She handled aging with such grace and dignity and was always interested in her family and the world around her. She was very special to us and we will miss her greatly.
My memories of Hope go way back to when I was very young. She and my mother were friends, and had family connections from their younger days in McDowell County. I always thought she was beautiful and very dignified. Later, when we became neighbors to Hope, I got to know her better and she became very special to Donnie and myself. We were sad when she moved, and thought of her often. We are so sorry for her sudden passing. She was beautiful inside and out, and we will continue to miss her. You and your family will be in our prayers for comfort.
So very sorry to hear of her passing. She wasn’t just a resident/patient to me, she was my friend and I will forever treasure the wisdom and love she shared with me. God bless you all and comfort your during your tremendous loss.
My sincere sympathy to Hope’s family. Such a lovely lady. She was friends with my mother and Aunt, and to me. I fondly remember her. She will be missed.
