Hope's Memory Wall

We encourage you to share your most beloved memories of Hope here, so that the family and other loved ones can always see it. Share your favorite stories or comment on those shared by others.

Dear Nate & family,
I just want you to know that I have a very high regard for Hope. She seemed to me to be a person of great strength, intelligence, compassion, and care. I have always been sad that she (and you!) had to deal with such major loss in her life - far more than most people. And yet, in spite of it all, she rose above it... and was a beautiful person in so many ways. Many people (including myself), as well as our community and our world have been blessed by her presence!

Dear Nate and Jennie,
I only met Hope twice, the first time in New York at Jennie's shower and again at the wedding. She was someone that felt like an old friend the first time you met her, someone you instantly felt comfortable being around and talking to. All I really know about her was how happy she was that the two of you found each other and fell in love, but being a Mom myself I can tell you there is nothing more a Mom wants. I cannot express how sorry I am for your loss.
Love,
Ann Marie Heering

Nathan & Family
We are so saddened to learn of Hope's death. As close friends and neighbors for many years in Granville, we shared much laughter and many tears as we worked and played in our daily lives. Hope was a wonderfully caring and spiritual person and was much loved by many. She will be missed. The Nutter family has some beautiful memories of times spent with the Card family as you were growing up. Nathan, we have the faith that Hope has met Roger, Michael and Matt and your Grandad Card in Heaven and that they are watching over you and Jennie as you grieve again the tremendous loss of a family member. Stay strong and pray...God is with you and will bless you. Know too, that you are loved. You are blessed to have Jennie and your Grandmother with you. Give them a big HUG and keep in touch with your Granville friends.

We met Hope when she was working for Dr. Filipow and I was pregnant with my first child. She was such a kind, caring, interlligent nurse/friend and we knew each other for 24 years. After she left the doctor's office, I would visit with Hope at the grocery store or at other places. We always enjoyed sharing stories about our families and careers. We are deeply sorry that Hope died at such an early age. She was a very giving, positive example of how a person should live their life. Please accept our humble sympathy and know that we are praying for you in your time of sorrow. May Hope's love and memory sustain you as it will us until we end our days on earth. Sincerely, The Blatters
