Mother just called and let me know that Aunt Hope passed away today. There will be a viewing at the funeral home in Fredonia on Friday evening and graveside services at the Longton cemetery at 11:00 A.M. on Saturday April 12. At this time, I have no further information. I am hoping that Lenora will put an obit in one of the newspapers.

Myrna and Frank,
Sorry about your Aunt Hope. Our family continues prayers for your families. You have had a rough week of it.
Please extend my symapthy to your Mother.
Alice
Thanks, ole granny, we appreciate your concern and prayers. She has been in failing health for several years, but
lived a long life. She would have been 94 next month.
Myrna
Myrna, I didn't know that Hope was your Aunt! How are you related? I keep in touch with Lenora, and received the e-mail from her yesterday, saying that her Mother had died. I'm sorry that I won't be there for the services. Tell Lenora "Hi" for me!
Bonnie Myrna isn't here right now so I will answer your question, Hope was/is a sister to Myrna's Mother.
Frank
My goodness, another passing? How sad, but as you said, a good long life. My condolences and prayers for you all.
Thanks, Frank. I just didn't know that!

Thanks to all for your condolences and also for remembering my mother with cards. It was chilly and VERY windy today, but considering how cool and windy it was and also that Aunt Hope had been gone from Elk County for several years, there was a nice group at the service.
