One year ago today, we held Hope for the last time. Her hair was braided, she was wearing her beautiful, handmade, dress that reminded me of a rainbow. We wrapped her in her special blanket and wondered how we could let her go. And then we watched as the long, black vehicle slowly drove away down our street. Even now, I get tears in my eyes when I see a funeral car.
We are so grateful to the show of support at Hope's funeral, and for the meals and cards and emails and donations. Thank you to everyone.
We just cried a few tears as we watched Hope's funeral slideshow, and now we're heading over to the cemetary as a family. The memorial stone isn't there yet, but will be in about a month. I hope you're able to watch the slideshow and remember our beautiful Hopey with us.
Love,
Jolene & Alex

Hey guys,
I am thinking of you all and am remembering little Hopey today.
I'm so glad I got to watch your slideshow last year with you and see where your girls rest side by side.
It's been another long, hard year for you and I'm sincerely hoping that after today the despairing grief gives way to some fond memories of fun times that arose despite the chaos. Take care.
What a beautiful little girl!
Can't wait to see you dancing and singing in heaven,
Love you Hopey!
