In the giving spirit of Hope, the family suggests in lieu of flowers that you give to those in need. Help someone else be it money, food, or repairs. Visit those that have no one to visit them. Help an elderly person in the grocery store that doesn’t have enough money to buy groceries. That is what would make Hope smile from heaven.
