Obituary

From the Old English name Hope
Meaning: "Hope"
Her future is all up to her
She is proud of her family and friends
Her personality shines, everywhere she goes
She is truly one of a kind
Tends to have sufficient energy at all times
Has a great memory, never forgets a thing
She can make the impossible, possible
She has a heart of gold.
