"We are so sorry to hear of your family?s loss. The long marriage of Daryl and Hope is an inspiration. -Becky (Beeler) Beaird Cousin of Daryl "
"Hope and I had such great times at family reunions and swimming in South Park in Quincy. She was always very generous, giving me clothes (we were about the same size) and believe me, I needed them. She would often confide in me and I treasure those memories. I know she is in heaven with Jesus. "
