I can not believe it has been 1 year since Hope Hacker died

mews2much · Mar 15, 2010

Hope was found dead in her place March 17th 2009 for anyone that does not know that.
It was estimated she died March 15th from a Heart Attack.
She has been missed by all of us.
One of her last posts was to me about Cleo because someone had said something about her at the vets.
We had planned on meeting at a cat show in So Cal but Hope died before we ever got the chance to meet.
I am so glad her cats went to good home.
We all were so worried they would not get homes and the missing one would not be found.
I still miss her and will never forget her.

I still remember sitting in the conservatory when i saw it

It was a lovely sunny day so i thought i would sit in there and go on the laptop for an hour. At first i thought it was a friend of mine when i saw "RIP Hope" at the side because she was going through a rough time with depression, so it was an even bigger shock when i saw it was Hope Hacker

RIP Hope

I was thinking about her the other day.

I am so glad her cats went to good home.

Not all of them.

I think one of them was never found

I was "lurking" back then. She was really a good person.

Hope did my signature in 2005 for me when I first came to this forum. It was the year my black tuxedo cat, Max, died. He was my soulmate cat and Hope was very supportive and sweet to me in helping me with the siggy and encouraging me at the time. I know she must have had a heart of gold because so much is written of her here on this site. She certainly left a legacy of friends here who loved her very much. Rest in peace Hope. You are sorely missed by your Cat Site friends.

I believe it was determined that he was taken in by a neighbor or something.

Hard to believe it has been a year. Its nice though, seeing the sigs she made all over the site when you open up random threads. She will always live on with TCS

pushylady · Mar 15, 2010

She will always be remembered here on TCS. Rip Hope.

crazyforinfo · Mar 15, 2010

I had to remove her on FB b/c I couldn't take the daily reminders

RIP Hope!

Who can forget this unfortunately event...

But is the life...

Dear Hope IÂ´m youÂ´re here on the forums....

TCS Miss you so much...

RIP my friend...

She is looking after all the kitties

sillyjilly · Mar 15, 2010

I miss her too and still do think of her on a regular basis. Even my DH (who does not come on here) knows who I am talking about when I speak of her. He knows a lot of you!

She is greatly missed!

gingersmom · Mar 15, 2010

I think of her quite often...her Facebook page is still up and I drop in on it every once in a while. It seems like just yesterday I heard the news. Can't see Paul Stanley without her popping into my head.

Still thinking of you, girl.

Hope was a good, kind, sensitive person. Mews2much, thanks for starting this thread. RIP Hope Hacker.

Unfortunately Hope's bengal, Simba was never found. None of her apartment complex neighbors ever came foward saying they had him. Those of us involved in rescuing Hope's other 3 cats, speculate that he may have darted out of her apartment door into the hallway and it is hoped that he found a kind neighbor to take him in.
It's very unlikely that we will ever find out what became of Simba, but we do know that her other 3 cats are all in loving forever homes.

RIP Hope

Really, I remember reading that Simba was with the relative of a neighbor. The thread was locked soon after.

julianne · Mar 16, 2010

Hope has been on my mind as well, coming up to the anniversary.

I am not often on-line, but thought I would pop by to pay my respects and to remember Hope as one of the most generous and kind hearted women I have ever had the honour of 'meeting'.

RIP Hope, you are loved and missed by all

mews2much · Mar 16, 2010

Linda,
I remember reading that also.

Not to my knowledge. Hope's family members, whom I spoke to on quite a few occasions during the ordeal to track down her cats had no clue where Simba was. He was never located.
Susan and I pressed them very hard about him, as I wanted him sent to me along with Angel, her other bengal.

If I'm missing some piece of the puzzle, I would be happy to be wrong.

Phew!
I was worried that I'd made up a happy ending!
I looked for the thread and found it. It's in Post #62.
