Dear Rob and Nichole,
Words can not express the depts of my sorrow for you.  You will always have her, she will be with you forever.  God had a special place for children and your little princess has entered the Lords kingdom and everything you ever wished for her, will be given.
Your memories will help ease your pain and time will help you heal. It is truely better to have loved and lost then never to have loved at all.
Unfortunately, I do know how you feel and I hope my love for you and your family will help.

Hope was a BIG inspiration to to me and to the  others around. She also would talk to me when she felt i needed it. She was so beautiful and amazing and also… One of my bestfriends. When i heard the news, i was devestated. I couldnt believe it was true, and i doubted it so much that i thought my sister was lying. Hope was amazing and she taught me to actually love myself for who i am and to never be anything im not. You will be missed very dearly hope, rest in peace beautiful❤.

Dearest Hope — may you rest in peace. You will always be the strongest fighter I’ve ever met.
As for the parents, the amount of strength you maintained during all of this is incredible. No parent should ever have to go through this, but you maintained a level of strength that truly demonstrates how caring, loving, and enduring you really are. 
Rest in peace, angel. May you finally find tranquility in the arms of Jesus.

Nicole,
I was so sorry to hear about the loss of your precious daughter. Losing a child is a terrible thing for a parent to experience. I have never had the opportunity to meet her but have followed along with your posts as your family went through this experience. My daughter lost a child 5 years ago and the only advice I can give you is so be there for one another as each person grieves in their own way. The Cave family in Mount Union will keep your family in our prayers.
