Billie Joyce, Gordon and family, I am sure you both know what your Hope and Bill meant to me. Every weekend it was Bill, Hope, Bob, Phyllis, Mom, Dad and us kids spending Saturday at Clarinda and shutting down the park. And Sunday evening the adults playing cards. These memories as a kid are my favorite times. Spending them with the Pratt Bunch. I loved Hope and Bill and considered them my second mom and dad. Who would ever thought I would end up marrying a Pratt. Hope always hand a smile on her face and her laugh was contagious. Bruce always said Hope was the best cook in the county. He loved it when Bill, Hope, Dick and Elsie Rose would stop by the office and visit. He thought the world of Hope and Bill. I know Hope is baking something sweet for the family and friends above. May the Lord wrap his loving arms around you and comfort you all. We will miss Hope. My boys know about Bill, Hope, Mom and Dad's special relationship through Bruce and I stories about them. Bruce and Sandy Johnson Pratt
