In later years, he spent evenings around tables regaling loved ones with these escapades never failing to point out the ethnicity of each character. He eloped with the love of his life and high school sweetheart, Voris Skinner, just prior to leaving for England to serve his country in the Eighth Army Air Force during World War II. He returned three years later to his bride and a precious little two year old son, Billy, who was followed later by their daughter Susie. The family moved to Albuquerque when Don was called up for the Korean conflict, serving out of Kirtland Air Force Base in the rank of Captain. Upon discharge from the military in 1954, he spent the next 35 years in the insurance business. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, friend, citizen and neighbor. But he shone the brightest in the care and love he gave to Voris when she was stricken with Alzheimers. Upon retiring at age 75, and wishing to travel in his new car, he had no regret nor complaint when he had to relinquish his travels and learn to do the shopping, cooking, cleaning, laundry, and all of the personal care required to keep his wife in dignity to the end. He cared for her with no other help until hospice showed up at his door one day and insisted it was time to take over. Their union lasted 59 years. Don was a man of integrity, who turned down no responsibility. He consistently denied himself so that he could give to others. He never backed away from a fight in his life. He spent his last eight years remembering Voris, keeping up the house, walking, playing tennis, watching sports, reading, and enjoying his family, friends, and neighbors. He awed us all with his spryness at his age but more so with his kindness, his principles and his dignity. He has left us a plethora of rich and fond memories. Don is survived by his brother, Bill Hope, and his wife, Bobbie, of Taylorville, IL; son, William C. Hope, and his wife, Margarita, of Tacoma, WA, and their three children: Erika Hope of Tacoma, WA, Will Hope, Capt, USAF, and his wife, Edie, and their son, Alexandre Lee, of Panama City, FL, and Judy Ianniccilli and her husband, Dave, of Santa Clara, CA; daughter, Susan Curlee, and her husband, Barry, of Austin, TX, and their daughter, Shannon Strathmann, and her husband, Joe, and their sons, William Riley and Joseph Rowan, and son, Clay Curlee and his fiancee, Mariya Townswick, of Dallas, TX. The Funeral Service will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Friday, September 10, 2010 in the Palm Chapel of Daniels Family Funeral Services, 1100 Coal Ave SE, with Chaplain Matt Caward presiding. Interment will follow at 1:00 p.m. at Santa Fe National Cemetery. The Hope family would like to acknowledge their heartfelt gratitude to Dr. and Mrs. John Neufeld for their wonderful friendship to Don, as well as, Charlie Pryor, who, without even asking, graciously befriended their father over the last several years.

LERNER -- Julianna Kitty Glass Lerner (Ph.D.), born July 22, 1927, lived enthusiastically until August 29, 2010. Born in Vienna, Austria, in 1994 Julianna accomplished a dream when she moved to Albuquerque. A scholar, educator, public servant and philosopher, in retirement Julianna was instrumental in the founding of the New Mexico Holocaust and Intolerance Museum and Study Center, and a co-founder of the Sonja's Legacy Foundation, an exhibit highlighting the life and death of her cousins during the Holocaust. She traveled to schools around the state of New Mexico to teach about the Holocaust and broaden understanding and acceptance among people of different backgrounds. Julianna married Maximilian Lerner, and together they raised three children. She deeply loved her children and children-in-laws, David and Laurie, Shereen and Rob, and Tom and Kirsten. To truly know her was to bask in her unmitigated joy and delight in her relationships with each of her seven grandchildren, Alyssa, Ben, Steve, Katie, Noah, Lukas, and Willa. Her voice would change when she talked about them; more buoyant, proud, and unquestionably happy with their exploits and adventures. Join us to celebrate this remarkable woman at a memorial service at the Jewish Community Center at 5520 Wyoming Avenue, Albuquerque, on Sunday, September 26, 2010 at 10:00 a.m. Contributions in her honor to Sonja's Legacy Foundation, P.O. Box 13, Mount Laurel, New Jersey 08054 or the Holocaust and Intolerance Museum of New Mexico, 616 Central Avenue SW, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87102 would make her smile.
