I am just in shock...so very sad to read this. I had such hopes for Hope, and this is not what I wanted to read. My condolences to her family, who I hope know just how many folks cared about her and will miss her.

Life is so short...and it's such a shock to lose someone so young, so much before their time. I'll miss being connected to her, both here and on Facebook, and through our Bengals, and I'll never, EVER, be able to look at Paul Stanley or KISS without thinking of our special Hope Hacker.

Rest in Peace, Hope. You were one of a kind, and we'll miss you. Give lots of scritches all around to our friends over Rainbow Bridge as you travel on through!

With having nothing more that I can add that hasn't been thought, felt or already said, I mimic these posts! I, too, can't see Paul Stanley or KISS and not think such wonderful memory's of Hope! She will be greatly missed and I am sad that she is gone.

Oh no! Oh Hope, you will be so missed. I just sent her a package yesterday. I hadn't seen her online and was worried about her. She was having struggles at work last I heard.

Oh Hope, your lap has to be filled with kitties right now. Be happy and play with your furry friends now.

It's so sad to see this. I do hope the friends that took the kitties in will be good to them. I know this would have been a big concern of hers. I'm glad to hear that someone has at least taken them in.

Rest In Peace, Hope

I was speechless when I first saw the post about Hope. She made wonderful siggies, and one for Lexi that I really like.

I haven't been on much of late, and am shocked that she has passed on. Hope was never afraid to be herself or to express her opinions. I really admired her for that.

I thought about her poor kitties and wondered who would care for them. I am really saddened by this and it doesn't help that I am already reminded of another death at the same time.

RIP Hope
You were loved by so many and it is a travesty to have lost you at such a young age.

RIP Dear Hope, I didn't have the pleasure of meeting her, but I had read a few of her posts. I know she will be greatly missed. Lots of prayers for her family and friends, and her sweet cats.

Oh no, this makes me even sadder to hear about Hope! I can't even think of the words I am trying to say, I am so shocked to see this thread.

I'm just finding this out now! I am still to shocked to express how truley sorry I am for her family and friends, or any body who ever met her, as well as her beloved kitties.

RIP Hope

Thanks for that Lorie.


Susan - perhaps if you're talking to her niece again you could direct her to this thread? I want her family to know just how many lives she has touched around the world.


I was proud to be a friend to such a strong women. Hope helped me a lot with web design and designing graphics - she was so kind.

I miss her so much!

Sam, if Susan doesn't, I posted a link to it on Hope's Facebook page Thursday night, not long after the links to similar threads on her other sites had been posted (ok, so I wanted TCS to have an equal amount of time showing how much we cared.)


The sad thing to me, is that in talking to her, I don't think she ever really knew just how many people loved and cared about her.....
