Hope's funeral will be held on Thursday, August 18th at 1pm. It will take place at St. Timothy's RC Parish on 135 John Forsyth Rd. There will be a reception and memorial slideshow to follow in the hall.
If friends and family so desire, donations may be made to the Children's Rehabilitation Foundation (http://www.rccf.ca/) which is the fundraising arms for RCC, which provided Hope with the expertise and equipment needed to make her daily life more comfortable.

So saddened to hear about Hope. Thought it was so special that Grandma was able to be with her. Today Leah and I were baling and I asked her what she thought Hope was doing in heaven - "buying lots of candy and jumping" she said. From the mouths of babes! It is so so hard to say goodbye to Hope but I know big sister Ashley is now showing her all the wonderful things to eat, see and do in Heaven. May God grant those two true angels eternal peace and rest. They both deserve a front row seat!! Thinking and praying for you all.

Alex and Jolene,
Your family has been in our prayers for several months now. Carla has let us know from time to time how you are doing. The love and strength that you've shown for your girls is extraordinary.
Sincerely,
Meredith Miller-Delichte
So sorry to hear of Hopes passing. When I heard the news all I could think of was that at least they had time with Hope after losing Ashley and today I caught up on your blog and that was one of your comments. The comment about the picture touched my heart deeply as that is one of my daily moments when I look at a pic of Dad or Denis and think that is all we have left of them is a photo. I know that losing your Dad and brother isn't the same as losing 2 young daughters but the hearts hurt the same and the tears cleanse the same. Know that Dad and Denis loved to tease the little ones especially the girls because their reponses were so giggly and squeally. So think of them being thrown into the air and the giggles that they are producing will bring a tear and a smile to all our faces.
Hugs
Tracy, Ron & family

"you're blessed when you've lost what is most dear to you. Only then can you be embraced by the One most dear to you"
We read this in our devotions this morning and Brodie says 'you should send that to my mom' so we did :)
love you both,
Mom and Dad
I am sorry for your loss of Hope. I have been reading your blog for awhile, and your family reflects deep love, strenght, and faith. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time. May God grant you peace and strenght in the coming days. Take care.
