Hope was a sophomore at Normal West High School. Hope excelled in her learning and was involved in the student council and active in “mock trial.” Hope was Jennifer’s “Princess.” She had a special bond with her siblings. She never passed up a good meal and she had to have “dessert.” She loved her cat Simba who had a special place in her heart. She had GREAT love for her family and will be missed by all who knew her,
