She continued her free spirited adventures around coastal Florida, Bahamas, Jamaica and much of the Caribbean.  She loved the tropics, loved the sun, beach and outdoors. She loved people, embraced others culture and loved to cook. Most of all, after raising two boys as a single parent, Hope loved being gramma to her two granddaughters.
