Concerned about Hope

prayers, hugs, and love for her. Hope and I were diagnosed at about the same time. She was definitely much more of a trooper than me emotionally. She used to tell me as long as I have hope that I couldn't give up and when I didn't have hope I could use her and replacement. Got me through many many nights. Sorry to hear this for her and especially her family as I know she has some adult children and even still one young one at home. I remember back at her wedding pictures or her renewal of her vows I should stay she looks so beautiful and her love story was truly inspirational. Will forever hold a place in my heart. As in many others here obvious by the number of posts dedicated to her. Thanks will be keeping us informed woody thank you back about pictures of Hope also remember the concert she took her son to all that she was very tired the pictures of both of them extremely happy and I can still remember it to this day. That's the way I want to be remembered as well smiling and happy much love hugs

Patty and Rosevalley and all of you ladies, thank you for your loving wishes and prayers for Hope and me. I am conveying oall your loving messages to her. She is always happy of the love you surround her with and sends her love and support to all of you.

Hope also helped me when i became stage IV and she was always very supportive and even now she is still supportive. A wonderful mother , a great wife and a wonderful human being.

She did not answer my messages since yesterday but she read them. Her last message was that she is trying to control the pain and discomfort and probably more symptoms. She hoped today would be better. My heart is breaking and going out for her and i pray she does not suffer more and i hope she keeps beating the odds. I will check with her again if i do not recieve any reply again I will call her.

Thank you all , Patty i hope you are well and Rosevalley also .

Loving kindness to you all.

Thanks, Woody. I think about and pray for Hope every day.

Just checking on Hope, I hope she is pain free, and able to enjoy time with her family. xx

Woody, big warm hug for you. I am wrapping you in a rainbow shawl of loving, healing light.

This loving and losing friends is one of the hardest parts of living with cancer as a life companion.

Continued prayers to heaven for Hope. She's a remarkable human being and an important part of our community.

heartfelt loving kindness for all, Stephanie

Oh Woody - this makes me very sad too. Thank you for being such a good friend to Hope and for keeping us informed, I know it must be very difficult. Please know that you and Hope are both loved beyond measure.

(((Hope)))

Woody, so sad for you and all of us. Even though we know our days are numbered, it sure doesn't make it any easier. Thoughts and prayers to all.

Woody - this is such sad news for Team Hope - so many of us touched by her kind words. And you too.:) Sending light thoughts with peace. Please post when you reach her husband. (())

I thank all of you who are so caring about Hope. I called her mobile, her messenger, her husband's and son i got no reply from any of them. So i have no comfirmation from any of them. But i feel somthing wrong has happened .her brain tumors very very symptomatic , they may have slipped her into a coma . I am at loss but i will keep trying to contact any of them so each and every one of us gets a closure. But i am beside myself Hope and I conversed for long this past year about everything and i am going to miss her. Though i would not want her to suffer more.

She had prepared for her cremation but have always accepted my prayers with grace in her honor and in her struggle i send this poem

May your days and nights be filled with peace,
And may those you love be near.
May the solace of that closeness
Banish any hint of fear.

May the joy you've brought to others
Fill your soul now with that light,
And the memories of happy times
Fill your dreams through darkest night.

For you've lent your strength to many.
You've upheld us in our strife.
Now let those of us who love you
Let you know just how your life

Has been the brightest beacon
For you've shown us how to bear
With great dignity and courage
Both the bad times and the fair.

As a mentor and a leader
You have always been our guide.
As a friend there's been none better.
May you know all this with pride.

All our prayers and thoughts are with you.
May you feel their soothing grace.
May our care and loving hold you
Here within that sacred space.

And may God then grant you courage
When the time to fight is o'er
And be waiting for you smiling,
When you reach his lofty door.

For you'll be borne by angels
That our Lord has sent for you
And in wholeness be rewarded
All your pain will then be through.
