RIP Hope J

Horrible news. I wish it were a joke....

Every time I had a medical situation from cancer to my heart, Hope always was there for me on this board. Always followed up and asked.

We were a better world with her here but I guess God needed her more!!

All of my prayers to her family and to all of us here on BBI

I've met and hung out with Hope, and I can't believe she's gone. It can't be true. It just can't be.

She is one of the most amazing people I have ever had the pleasure to meet. She is sweet, warm, accepting, funny, caring, the whole 9 yards. Running into her at the Superbowl 42 was an awesome coincidence. I'm walking on line, and I see these two women walking in front of me by several paces, and I said to myself, "That looks like Hope." And it was. We swapped some pics, and she told me that she was there to help scatter some of Dave in MD's ashes, which she did do with Sam Madison's dad helping.

I don't pray, but I'll pray for her. What a terrible loss. It can't be true. I'll miss you very much Hope. RIP

I have a pic of hope that I'm having a hard time posting. Click the link and post away. Thank you.

RIP and thank you for your presence here.

a BBI icon.

That's a shame. Thoughts and prayers to her family and loved ones.

but a charming and very very sweet woman in this forum. Very sad news, but I have little doubt she is on her way to a better place.

but I honestly don't know what to say here. What a sick, empty feeling this gives to my stomach.

What a huge loss for the world.

she was without a doubt one of the classiest and nicest members of Petes Corner. God Bless and RIP Hope.

RIP Hope.

but she always had a kind word and was always one of the first to respond with prayer and an encouraging word to whoever needed it !!!

I will pray for her family...

never met her, but feel like I have.
I'm guessing she had that effect on alot of people here.
God Bless, Hope. RIP.

RIP HopeJ, I never met you but i feel like i know you well. You will be missed.

RIP Hope

because everyone who knew you was so clearly already blessed by just knowing you, and in my case just hearing of the gracious things you've done and the words you typed.

This place is seriously going to miss her. No exaggeration, that woman is the reason this community exists so strongly -- she was indeed the moral compass and sanity of this board. We all have to pitch in so much to approach the dignity and charity and love of football she brought us.

One of their most loyal fans around.

We owe it to ourselves as well as Hope for everything she has done for us in our personal lives to honor her in any way we can.



The New York Giants just got a whole lot more popular in Heaven. Hope was the kind of person that made being a Giants fan and tailgating, going to camp and to games fun and worth it. Always willing to lend a helping hand, no matter how far out of her own way she had to go to do it.

I think you meant Bob in Annapolis.

I had a chance to meet Hope briefly this past summer at camp and see her work her magic with Brandon Jacobs at the ceremony. From our brief encounter, you could really get the sense of the kind of person she was. She was very kind to me and my younger brothers. She will be missed.

RIP Hope

Very nice person. My condolences

... Hope J. I'm very sad to hear this. RIP dear lady.

Your kind spirit will be missed.

I endorse Milton's suggestion above.

Sunday when we are watching the Giants and we get that lucky bounce or Tyness hits the upright but the kick goes through I know Hope is watching over us.

Hope was a great, great person.

terrible, terrible news. i am truly saddened by this. i offer my sincerest condolences to her family...

She seemed like a very nice woman and from reading this entire thread, she touched many, many people.

RIP. Very sad.

And I am so very glad I did.
RIP HopeJ, you will be missed.

I was just with her a few weeks ago - this is truly shocking!

Hope - you surely are flying with the angels. I am overwhelmed by your death. You were a truly beautiful soul in life.

Hope will do everything she can to help the Giants get all the breaks they could. Her spirit will live on through the memories everybody has and through her New York Giants.

She was the centerpiece of the training camp experience and was very nice to me even though she didn't know me from a hole in the wall. We'll all miss her, and I think some kind of official BBI commemoration is appropriate. Gone too soon....

sad day....RIP Hope

Philly defenders are going to be running away from him. Go Brandon Go!

Thank you Hope for the kindness you showed to my son and I up in Albany. You hugged us like we were family and you personally made sure my son got autographs from a bunch of Giants. She was an angel and has been called home. Rest in peace.

.

Someone please tell me this isn't real.

Thanks for the correction. I was afraid my memory of who it was was going to be way off. Sorry Dave.

never had the pleasure of meeting her but she seemed like such a sweet, caring and lovely women. RIP.

May you rest in peace.

Dave is very much alive and quite possibly my closest RL friend on BBI other than you, Madplaid and HOPE.

Those were the ashes of Bob in Annapolis that Hope and Berry spread at Superbowl 42...another of her epic accomplishments.

This is got to be joke. You got to freaking kidding me. Damn, damn.

I'm dreaming right....someone please tell me this is a joke.

RIP! And thanks, rocky, for letting us know.

Some people give you faith in the potential of humanity to rise up and just be good. She was a beacon in dark and an incredible soul who will be missed. We are all lucky to have witnessed her grace.

definetly bbi family. My condolences to all she touched.

RIP Hope!

RIP

Hope was the nicest person on this board. One of the few people I have exchanged with here. I am sick from this. God please take this lovely human being into your arms. God bless us all.

I spent all of last weekend in bed after having oral surgery, and had a stack of Giants DVD's on hand to help get me through the ordeal. In one of them, I saw Hope at the Saints game in '01 holding up her sign that read "you can knock down our buildings, but you can't knock down our spirit."

I'm saddened by her loss, but take comfort knowing she is in a better place.

and wish Hope was too. I used to love close to her and would run in to her at the store with my daughter. She always went out her way to compliment Tabitha. Just a real warm person. I am shocked. I almost can't believe this is true.

This is absolutely shocking.

Never met Hope, but she seemed like an incredible person. Way too soon for a person like that to be taken away from their life.

RIP, Hope..

and neither will my trips to Albany.

Hope, without question, was the nicest person you'd ever want to meet.

I will miss her very much.
